Creamy Egg Calzone

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:44:14 -0500

This was made for me once and I mimiced what I remembered of it. You could add fresh vegetables or a breakfast meat if preferred. Fairly quick to prepare, but will taste like you worked very hard on it. We love this for brunch over the holidays. -- posted by KrazedKook

Next-Day Baked Cinnamon-Apple French Toast

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:05:15 -0500

We made this for Christmas morning this year (2009). My mother found the recipe in her local paper -- The Daily Breeze in Redondo Beach, CA. When I made it, I added in not just the apples, but all the liquid -- as a result the dish was more like bread pudding than french toast ... it was still great, and I'd make it that way again. But if you'd like a drier texture, don't add the apple liquid. I also swapped out the cinnamon and nutmeg for two teaspoons of Recipe #45672 . -- posted by KLHquilts

Sausage and Caramelized Onion Bread Pudding

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:53:58 -0500

If you can purchase turkey Italian sausage, purchase one or two links to equal 4 oz. This is from "Feed 4 for less than $10" and this menu cost $6.39 - they have affordable, delicious meals which are perfect for today's economy! Cooking Light Magazine, October 2009 edition. They served it with sautéed zuchini: heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 T canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced zucchini to: sauté 4 minutes or until zucchini is lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp MrsDash & 1/4 tsp or less of crushed red pepper flakes. Delicioso! :) -- posted by Manami

Gateau Basque (French Custard or Jam Tart)

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:51:55 -0500

Another great recipe from Dorie Greenspan. It is a traditional dessert from the Pays Basque region of France with a double cookie-like crust and a custard or jam filling (use Recipe #405945). It's not overly sweet and can be enjoyed any time of day. It's very sturdy and therefore good for transporting. You can use different fillings like blueberry jam, sweet cranberry relish, or even lemon curd. This simple dessert is best plain or with a little whipped cream or ice cream. Doug requires at least 30 minutes to chill. Storing: Wrapped well, the jam-filled cake will keep for a day or so at room temperature. You can also keep the cream-filled cake overnight, but it will need to be refrigerated. However, because refrigeration can dry cakes. It's best to serve the cream-filled cake the day it is made. -- posted by blucoat

German Pancake (Also Called Dutch Baby)

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:04:25 -0500

The German pancake, also called Dutch Baby, is like a crepe crossed with a popover. It's ridiculously easy to make (the batter is made in under 2 minutes in a blender) and is always a crowd pleaser. Watching the pancake puff up before your very eyes is always entertaining. You can add fresh fruit to the batter, add it on top after baking ,or go crazy and do both! Then you have the option of topping it with the more traditional squeeze of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar or simply drizzle on the maple syrup, for the syrup lovers. -- posted by P ROD

Bacon & Cheese Biscuit Casserole

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:28:22 -0500

I found this recipe on Pillsbury.com and revised it. Even my picky 9-yr old son liked it fairly well and my husband and I loved it! You can vary the add-ins to your taste or try it different ways. You could use sausage or ham instead of bacon, add mushrooms, etc. You could also top with a white gravy. This would be really good served with a fresh fruit salad! -- posted by Carrie in Greenville

German White Chocolate Cake

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:03:27 -0500

This is an elegant-looking cake and one bite will have you sold! Please use the very best white chocolate that you can find.This is a cake that has to "stand alone" on the merits of the white chocolate, so if you're going to use the cheaper stuff, please pass this cake up. If you can find the clear vanilla, it's really worth it. I didn't list it but it really makes a difference. It's sometimes hard to find,but it won't do any harm using the regular. This was in Mass Recipes. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Ham Potato Scallop

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:21:56 -0500

Was looking for a recipe to use the leftover ham from Christmas and came across this recipe in a really old Sunset Casserole Cookbook. It turned out to be delicious. The only change I made was omitting the bell pepper because I didn't have any on hand and adding a little extra celery instead. You could always try the bell pepper if you'd like! I also sprinkled some extra Cheddar cheese on top. I love that this recipe uses real potatoes, milk, & cheese instead of mixes and soups and its still quick and easy to prepare! -- posted by BrinaBear

Easy Crustless Ham or Bacon Quiche

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:22:44 -0500

My grandmother got this recipe from a friend years ago and has been making it frequently ever since. It is my FAVORITE quiche recipe. I'm not a huge fan of crusts since I love the flavors of the quiche itself and feel that the crust just gets in the way. The Bisquick makes its own sort of crust anyways. You can used leftover ham pieces or crumbled bacon. Either way is delicious. Sauteing the onions in a little butter or oil first is key to a good flavor. You could always add other veggies here as well such as bell pepper or mushrooms. -- posted by BrinaBear

Hash Brown Casserole With Bacon and Cheddar

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:27:10 -0500

Wonderful for a weekend brunch. My whole family absolutely loves it. Lots of flavor from the onions, chives, and bell pepper. There are lots of variations of this recipe but I like that this one uses milk instead of sour cream or cream cheese which are high in fat and this one still has just as much flavor. It came from Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook that a friend got me for Christmas. I only switch the whole milk to 1 % and keep the skillet at medium-low instead of low when making the sauce. Can easily be doubled to serve more people. When I do, I use a 12 oz package of bacon and a 1 lb 14 oz bag of hash browns since that's what they usually come in anyways. Also, the easiest way to snip the chives is with kitchen scissors. So much faster than with a knife! Enjoy! -- posted by BrinaBear

Green Chili and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:30:43 -0500

This is easy to make and has a lot of flavor. It goes well with fresh salsa or pico de gallo. This was recently served at an office breakfast and everyone loved it. You should bake this dish only as long as it takes for the casserole to become firm, but remove it from the oven before the top of the casserole turns brown. -- posted by BzyBee

Blizzard Bread

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:13:19 -0500

We have a lot of snow days in N.E. Pennsylvania. So, we sprinkle a little snow on our French Toast too. Well, not real snow, but confectionery sugar is a great substitute. When snow is in the forecast, you have a hard time finding bread, eggs, and milk on grocery shelves. Get them early! Why? Because along with snowy days...comes comfort food - French Toast for breakfast. It's also a favorite for sleepovers. The kids always request Blizzard Bread for breakfast, even if it's 100 degrees outside. -- posted by ChaCha3

I get really excited when eggnog hits my local dairy aisle. So excited, in fact, that I suspend knowledge of the fact that nobody in my family likes eggnog and buy a half-gallon of the stuff. So, what to do with it all? The best popover you've ever had. I'm half-contemplating buying and freezing more eggnog so that I can eat these all year. -- posted by seapard

Herb and Mushroom Quiche - from Get Cracking!

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:45:23 -0500

This is one of my favourite quiche recipes. I received the recipe card and spice packet from the Egg Producers of Nova Scotia. I do change it slightly for our tastes, by using either a mild cheddar or marble in place of the swiss. I also go the 'crustless' route. If you add extra mushrooms and onions (like I often do), I suggest putting them, along with the cheeses in the pie plate first. Then pour the egg mixture on top. ;) -- posted by Diana #2

A cheesy, delicious, breakfast meal for a crowd. Auntie Lu would always make this when we would stay overnight and it was a HUGE hit. We use a "perfect brownie" pan so that every piece is a delicious, crusty edge piece. The recipe works with either white or wheat bread, you can't tell the difference. I use a spicy sausage so there is no need for additional spices, but you can add your own spices to the eggs before you pour it on or in the meat when you cook it. Sauce is optional but very delicious. -- posted by Scott Johnson

Cheese & Butter Green Peas

Have kids who hate green peas? Well, everyone seems to have that problem! I randomly added cheese & butter to my green peas (despite being a lover of peas) and it tasted great! In fact, at the end of the day, I got more sick of the cheese than peas. Amount of cheese? One slice. (: This is even for the health-conscious...enjoy! For me, I can polish off the whole thing, but to be on the safe side serve this for two.

Toast-Less French Toast - South Beach Phase 1

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:07:41 -0500

I invented this in my kitchen at the end of the first week of Phase 1 out of desperation for a sweet instead of savory breakfast. Enjoy plain, or with sugar free syrup, or jam. For Phase 2 I would recommend fresh fruit (like berries), and fat-free no sugar added whipped cream; or you could core and slice some apples and saute in margarine before adding the egg mixture. This is also good with some yogurt on the side - try plain with fruit infused stevia (apricot is excellent!) This saved me from falling off the wagon and I hope it works for you too. -- posted by Chef #1532737

Better Banana Walnut Bread

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:16:26 -0500

I love banana bread! Unfortunately, it is always loaded in fat when you buy it or follow traditional recipes. There are tons of low fat recipe options out there but the always take out the walnut. Removing them will take away from those "scary numbers" we all watch; however, walnuts are such a rich source of nutrition that they are worth keeping. Side Note: Many people use "Splenda" as a sugar substitute, if you get an icky aftertaste try Stevia, like "Truvia". I personally prefer "Sun Crystal", a mix of natural sugar cane and stevia. Ultimately, it's your choice. -- posted by Southern Kitchen Gardener

Easiest & Tasty Vegetable Quiche

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:29:52 -0500

This is one of a number of quiche recipes I use, but nothing's faster than this particular one. It's made with any type of cheese, or a mixture of leftover cheeses; with spinach or broccoli, or whatever is in the freezer. The vegetable soup mix has all the seasonings and adds nice spots of color, too. (Not sure if the Knorr soup is 1.25 oz, but I had to have a measurement or it couldn't print.) -- posted by Not So Good Cook

Salmon Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:51:41 -0500

This recipe can also be made with seafood. This is how I make it using canned salmon. The pastry crust is optional. Now that I am using almond milk (I like Almond Breeze), I will probably use that to replace the milk or cream. The cook time does not include baking time for the optional pastry shell. -- posted by coconutty

Onion Quiche or Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child)

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:26:50 -0500

I usually simplify Julia's recipes and omit some of the details, including using less fat, and they come out fabulous! I don't remember if I ever made this, but am posting it for safekeeping. For the quiche, use a pastry shell crust. For the gratin, omit the pastry crust. The cook time does not include time for baking the pastry shell. -- posted by coconutty

These were absolutely delicious,;) if I say so myself! We served these last Sunday for tea.(merienda) where we had some guests from New York, who were visiting their mom and were leaving the next day. They brought us the fixings for their mom to have a Jewish-type breakfast, since she was being transferred to another one of our homes, Hebrew Homes South. BBC GoodFood :) -- posted by Manami

Apple Breakfast Cake

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:22:22 -0500

A quick yummy dish for brunch. Original recipe from Sunset October 2009 but I added the bacon and cheese on top. I don't have an ovenproof skillet so I cooked the butter, sugar, cinnamon and apples in a saucepan, poured the egg mixture in a greased 8" square glass casserole and poured the apple mixture on top. It worked fine. It'll serve six if you have other dishes available or armed guards at the buffet table. -- posted by SkinnyFrogLegs

Eggs in Purgatorio

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:50:07 -0500

I'm grateful to andypandy for telling me about Eggs in Purgatory in answer to a community question about varying poached eggs. I checked out the various recipes and then adapted them to my needs and came up with this. Rather than an Italian style tomato sauce, it is more like a Latin salsa. The garlic and onions can either be done first in the skillet, adding a bit more oil to the skillet after that so as not to let the eggs stick,, or, if rushed then can use garlic powder and dried minced onions in the salsa/sauce. (Salsa just means 'sauce' in Spanish) I get a kick out of watching it cook because the edges of the egg look kind of ragged as the tomato sauce bubbles up and the pattern looks like flames,,, haha and thus the name of the dish. I'm not fussy about the exact amounts of ingrediants and many of you 'tweak' recipes anyway,, so please understand that the amounts are approximations,, and it also depends on how many eggs are being poached. The fry pan should be a size so that the number of eggs fits with just a little bit of space between and around the eggs and the sauce has some depth, so don't use a huge pan for two eggs. -- posted by Rainbow - Chef 536866
