Broccoli Frittata

 

RECIPE:

1 small head of broccoli (chopped small)

1 tomato (chopped)

2 slices of onion (chopped)

1 garlic clove (minced)

5 eggs

about 1 cup or so of cheese 

(I used an Italian Blend, Parm, Romano, Fontina & mozzerella)

 When I decided on making a Frittata.. I checked my refrigerator to see what veggies I had on hand. Went from there. This should feed about 3-4 people. Chopped my broccoli, tomato, onion & garlic. Preheat oven at 350. 

Heat up a large skillet & add some olive oil. 

Add your onions & garlic, cook until translucent or about 4mins. Add broccoli, season with salt & pepper, cook until almost tender. About 5 mins.

 In a bowl combine 5 eggs, a splash of milk, a bit pepper. Set aside.

 

Finally add the tomatoes & cook for 1 min. Turn heat off.

 

Add some cheese to your egg mixture & combine. Butter a round baking dish, add some eggs & all the veggies, top with the remaining egg mixture & cheese. Cover & place in the oven.

Bake for about 30 min... uncover & bake another 5mins.

 

Remove from the oven & let it cool for 10mins. 

What you add in your Frittata is completely up to you, personalize it!
 The steps & cooking time are still the same! 
Enjoy!!

Classic Deviled Eggs

I LOVE ME SOME DEVILED EGGS...

 RECIPE

12 Eggs

1/2 cup Mayo

2 tsp. red or white vinegar (I used red)

2 tsp. Mustard

2 pinches of Salt

Fresh cracked Pepper

Parsley for garnish

Place eggs in a pot and cover with enough water!

 Bring to a boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 15 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.

Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks & placing in a bowl. 

Place the whites on a serving platter. 

Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. 

Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

I placed mixture in a ziplock bag, clipped the tip & evenly poured into each egg white!

 

Garnish each egg with a leaf of parsley! DONE!!

Huevos Rancheros

These are very simple to make & a breakfast favorite of mine. I believe my mom made a mistake teaching me how to make these... because I always want them!

 First off, use about 1 roma tomato per person... double, triple.. make for yourself or a large group!

RECIPE:

(made this for 2)

About 2 Roma Tomatoes (chopped)

Half of 1/4 of a small onion (chopped) 

(haha sorry, cut the onion in 4 & use 1/2 of one of those pieces) 

2 Tomatillos (chopped)

1 Yellow pepper (chile guero) chopped

or

2 Serrano peppers

* Leave steam & seeds on or remove them

2 tortilla's per person

2 eggs per person

Cheese (your choice) Ranchero, freso.. etc.

In a pot add 1 Tbsp of oil, saute onions (2mins), add peppers (1 min), & lastly add tomatoes and tomatillos.. cook until mixture comes to an even boil. With a masher press down on mixture until all chucks are smooth. Add in 1/2 Tbsp of Knolls chicken bouillon and stir. Turn heat off & taste to adjust seasonings.

In a large skillet, add 1 Tbsp of oil, fry tortillas until pliable about 1 min per side.

Next crack about 2 eggs at a time & cook 1-2 minutes per side.

Press excess oil from tortillas with a napkin, top with 1 egg & the sauce.... sprinkle with cheese!

Garnish with Cilantro

(This is the traditional recipe in our family, yes alot of frying going on.. but once in a while won't hurt)

ENJOY!
