Savory Egg Custard (Chawanmushi)

Japanese Comfort Food - My friend Yoko from Japan, directed me step by step on how to make this dish. We were served this several times while we were there. Chawanmushi literally means "tea cup steam" or "steamed in a tea bowl". It is a Japanese egg custard. Chawanmushi can be eaten either hot, cold or room temperature.

Creamy Boursin Omelette

My daughter, Zoe, got us hooked on Boursin® Vermont White Cheddar & Sage Spread. It claims to be a sophisticated take on cheddar. A hint of delicately earthy sage balances the tangy sharpness of real Vermont Cheddar. I went to the market with my husband and he bought some. The lady working the check out said she LOVES this cheese and puts it in her scrambled eggs. Well, isn't that a nice idea!? I'm probably one of the few people who would come home from the market and make something the check out lady likes. So, I went on the Boursin site and found this omelette recipe, though you could just throw some in your scramble. Sorry about the blurry photo, I was hungry and didn't take my time!

Egg Salad with Dill & Chives

Egg Salad with Dill & Chives

Egg Salad with Dill & Chives are a bit hit. There is nothing like a really good egg salad sandwich. I think adding some fresh dill takes it to the next level.

Chile Cheese Egg Casserole

My friend Brady, made us a wonderful dinner. It’s a recipe that has been passed down in our town circa 1974. Over the years it has been changed and adapted each time. This is his current version.
Here is his note
“I like to mix up my cheeses if I can.  Frequently I will use the Mexican 4-Cheese blend instead of plain Jack, or I may add Pepper Jack to spice things up.  I once used six different kinds of cheese!  The main cheese should always be Sharp Cheddar, but have fun and play with the rest, as long as you keep it at 32 ounces or so.”

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Yesterday, my daughter, Grace, cleaned out the freezer, cleaned the stove, the pantry, etc. She also made dinner - Caprese Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Quiche, and Brownies. I was told on several occasions to vacate the kitchen! I could get used to this!

Deviled Eggs with Tarragon and Cornichons

Deviled Eggs with Tarragon and Cornichons - Who doesn't love deviled eggs? One of my favorite variations of deviled eggs are Eggs Mimosa made with avocado, which is a brilliant combination. My husband happens to love tarragon and cornichons, so we had to try it.

Hash Brown Potato Quiche

You had me at hash browns....

I received a flyer in the mail from Ralph's/Krogers supermarket and there was this recipe for Hash Brown Potato Quiche. What is wrong with this? Nothing! Paula Deen has a version (which makes complete sense). I have merged the two recipes. A some green chillis would not go amiss in this recipe.

Caprese Omelette

Caprese Omelette

Caprese Salad in Italian: Insalata Caprese, meaning "Salad of Capri", is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil. It was made to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green. In Italy, it is usually served as an antipasto (starter). Using the same ingredients, I made this Caprese Omelette for breakfast.
