Cuisine: Eggs

Spinach & Tomato Dutch Baby

I found this recipe in a magazine while I was at my mechanic's getting a new car battery! He's got hundreds of great magazines. I made this Spinach & Tomato Dutch Baby, which turned out to be incredibly good. A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake is a large American popover or British Yorkshire pudding. It's very versatile. You can change the type of cheese, change the spinach to basil, etc. This takes no time to make.

Quiche Lorraine with Zucchini Crust

I don't know if you have noticed that I have been making a lot of quiche with alternative crusts lately. My husband was not exactly thrilled with the idea of a zucchini crust, but I did it anyway. The key is to make sure you squeeze ALL the water out of the zucchini. Here is a tip - it you have a potato ricer (if you don't, go buy one!), it is really good to squeeze water out of zucchini, spinach, etc. My potato crust works well too.

Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp

Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp is the new craze in condiments. ... It's one of China's, and possibly the world's, tastiest chili oils. Spicy Chili Crisp is the classic, full of crispy onions, chilies and Sichuan pepper bits. It's used mostly as a condiment or ingredient in Sichuan cold sauces. My husband came home last night after a 12 hour flight from NY to LA (long story!), so I made him this Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp for breakfast. I thought it might wake him up! It turns out it is really delicious and not too spicy.

Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust

I was waiting for my husband and my mother who were flying in from New York and their plane was diverted and delayed for about 4 hours. So I made this Artichoke Spinach Quiche With Cheesy Hash Brown Crust for when they got here. It's a great because it can be made ahead. This is the 4th quiche I have used this hash brown crust recipe. I will come clean and tell you that I bought frozen shredded potatoes! I am way to lazy to shred my own. Also, this curst actually has cheese in it! So this makes it gluten-free. Anyway, I love this quiche which has Boursin (an herbed cheese) in the filling.

Thai Deviled Eggs

We went to a party for a friend you just became an American citizen. She is from Thailand and I was told to bring an hors d'oeuvres. Deviled eggs are very American, but I decided to add some Thai chili sauce to make these Thai Deviled Eggs. I love making variations to this traditional recipe.

Asparagus, Ham and Gruyère Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust

I have been very into quiche lately. I just love the hash brown crust idea. It makes it gluten-free. I had leftover asparagus and ham and paired it with Gruyère.

Mushroom Carbonara

My family loves carbonara. It's one of the things I make often. This Mushroom Carbonara is the perfect midweek meal. Mushrooms take the place of the traditional bacon in this vegetarian carbonara recipe. A deep browning on the umami-packed mushrooms, coupled with garlic and shallots, takes this dish to a whole other level.

Goat Cheese and Dill Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust

This Goat Cheese and Dill Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust is without a doubt the best quiche I have ever made. The creamy, silky filled with an abundance of dill meets a crispy hash brown crust! Hello! What's wrong with this? NOTHING! Everyone loved it. My husband is out of town is not pleased that I made it without him. His birthday is next week so I will do it again.

Omelet Soufflé

I made this Omelet Soufflé for breakfast. It's quick and easy and a rather elegant way to start the day. When life gives you eggs, take them to eleven!

The Original Hollywood Brown Derby Cobb Salad

From Hollywood’s Brown Derby restaurant and named for its owner, Robert Howard Cobb, the Cobb Salad is the original chopped salad. 

There’s some dispute about the recipe’s genesis. Was the first Cobb salad made by Cobb and theater mogul, Sid Grauman, while rummaging through the restaurant’s cooler for a late-night snack in 1939, or, by the restaurant’s executive chef Robert Kreis, who created it for the restaurant’s 1929 launch? Either way, the Cobb is one of America’s longest-standing salad favorites, inspiring dozens of different renditions. The original recipe consisted of a head of lettuce, watercress, avocado, tomatoes, cold breast of chicken, hard boiled eggs, cheese, crumbled bacon and some old-fashioned French dressing.
