How to Make a Basic Omelet

Omelets are great idea for breakfast but we would certainly eat them for supper too! Change up your veggies and meats to make it your own.  They are easy to make and you should give it a try!

How to Make a Basic Omelet                                                 Printable Recipe

Per person
2 eggs
Splash of milk
Salt and pepper, as desired
1-2 Tablespoons green peppers/onions
Shredded Cheese of your choice
Ham, bacon, sausage, optional (only use if not making a breakfast slam*)

We prefer our veggies soft so we cooks ours first in a little bit of olive oil.   

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add in veggies.

In an 8" non-stick saute pan drizzle in a little olive oil or add some butter.  You don't need a lot since it is non-stick but some will help. Use your rubber spatula to lift up on the cooked egg on the side and then

tip the pan so the egg mixture slips in and fills in the hole.

Do this all the way around until the egg is nearly cooked and only slightly wet on top.

Now is the time to decide if you are going to go easy or impress everyone with your skills. You can either slide it out onto a plate, turn your pan upside down over the plate and flip it all. OR.... Do like I do and make sure it is loose (wiggle it back and forth a little) and with a flick of the wrist flip it all!!

 Add cheese to one side.

 Fold over.  The heat from the omelet will melt your cheese.

* This goes great in the Breakfast Slam.

Perfectly Pan Fried Potatoes

Yukon gold potatoes are the best potato for this.  The skins are thin so you can leave them on and the inside of the potato stays firm when you cook it but is so creamy and buttery!

Perfectly Pan Fried Potatoes

Yukon Gold potatoes
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt
Cast Iron Pan

Chunk your potatoes up.  If they are small I quarter them.  If they are a little larger I cut in half, then in thirds, and halves of those.  These were probably 3/4 inch slices.

Put potatoes in a pot with cold water and some salt.   Bring to a boil and cook until almost done.  Drain and let air dry a little.

Heat up cast iron pan good and warm.  Drizzle in some olive oil and put a pat of butter in the pan. 

Add potato chunks.  Allow to brown on one side and then flip.  Don't play with your potatoes too much or they will fall apart.

Makes a great side dish for any meal or serve with with the Breakfast Slam!

PB and Nutella Puppy Chow

The warnings that come with this treat are:

Careful not to inhale when you eat, it's just as bad as eating a powdered sugar donut.  Will cause coughing fits.  Yes, I know from experience.

This is addicting and may require treatment to cure said addiction!

PB and Nutella Puppy Chow

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup Nutella

1 box rice toasted squares cereal (approximately 13 cups)

2-3 cups powdered sugar

Mix together your peanut butter and Nutella.  Gently stir in the cereal.  

Add 1 cup powdered sugar to a zip shut bag.  Dump in the cereal.  Add 1 more cup powdered sugar.  Zip shut.  Gently shake to coat and break apart the cereal pieces. Add more powdered sugar if needed. 

If you have too much powdered sugar you can put your puppy chow in a colander and shake the excess off. 

Enjoy!

*If you are worried your cereal will break up too much you can do these in smaller batches.  I use approximately 1-1/2 Tablespoons each of pb and Nutella and 1-1/2 cups cereal.  Also useful if you just need a tiny treat and not a big batch.  ;-)

Café Frappé

There is a local coffee shop that makes the most awesome frozen coffee drinks.  If I lived in town I'd have one every day.  I'd also be broke.  I found an espresso machine at a second hand store for $5.38.  I thought for that price I'd give it a whirl! I do still stop by the coffee shop for a drink now and then.  She does a really good job!

Café Frappé

2 espressos (uses 1/2 cup water and 2 Tablespoons coffee ground, espresso style)*

2 Tablespoons coffee syrup (any flavor you like or mix and match a couple)

2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

1/4 to 1/3 cup half and half (I use milk)

1-3/4 to 2 cups crushed ice (changes the thickness)

chocolate or caramel syrup (optional)

whipped cream (optional)

Blend all but the chocolate or caramel syrups and whipped cream.  If using syrup drizzle on the inside of your glass.  Pour in drink and either top with whipped cream or drizzle on more syrup. 

Feel free to use more or less of any of the ingredients (except the espresso) to change it up the way you like it. 

*It won't be quite the same but you can use a regular coffee pot with the same measures above and double up on your filter to make your "espresso." 

Fluffy Biscuits

Tender and flaky.  Easy to make, hard to resist!  Freezer friendly so make extra for quick breakfasts!

Fluffy Biscuits                                                                                     Printable Recipe

2 cups flour

1/2 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/3 cup shortening

1 cup milk

In a medium bowl mix together the dry ingredients. 

 Cut shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. 

 Stir in milk be only just enough until the flour just mixes in. (I did not use quite all of my milk the first time before it had enough to turn out.)

Dump out onto a floured surface.  Sprinkle a little flour on top. Gently pat dough out to 1 inch thick.

Cut biscuits with a 2-1/2 - 3 inch cutter. When I was growing up my mom used a plastic glass dipped in flour as her cutter. You can put the scraps together for another biscuit but it won't look the same.  The more you play with the dough the more dense and funny looking your biscuits will be. 

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Slice and serve with butter and honey.  Would be great smothered with sausage gravy or use with vegetable beef and biscuit casserole. 

If you'd like to use your biscuits as a morning breakfast or other sandwich press your dough into 1/2" thickness.  Cut, then lightly dampen one biscuit top and lay the other top of it. Bake as usual.  It is much easier to separate for sandwiches.

Easy Quiche

Just as the name says, this quiche is easy to make.  Change up the meats and veggie to suit your taste and/or leftovers you have in the fridge.  

Easy Quiche                                                                                          Printable Recipe

Veggies of any sort, cooked.*

1-1/2 cups shredded Mexi-blend cheese or any of your favorite

4 teaspoons flour

1 to 1-1/2 cups cooked meat (chopped ham ,bacon or sausage or any combo)

4 eggs

1-1/3 cup milk

salt and pepper optional (depends on the meat you use)

unbaked pie crust

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Drizzle a little olive oil in a non stick pan.  Cook until vegetables are soft.  Cool.  

*I used 1-1/2 cups shredded zucchini and squash and some red onion I had.  

 Chop ham slices.

 Toss together cooled veggies, cheese, and flour. I used our homemade goat mozzarella so it is white. 

 Spread evenly onto unbaked pie crust.

 Add meat evenly over veggies and cheese mixture.

Mix together egg, milk, and optional salt/pepper.

Pour over meat and cheese.  If you have any floaties, press them down with the fork so they are coated.

 Place into oven and either use foil around the crust or a pie shield. 

Bake for 40 to 55 minutes until filling is set.
