eggies!!!!

[Heidi3]

come on lets cook eggies ...what is your favorite egg recipe?....


I love a fritatta
10 jumbo eggs gently break up with a fork do not beat
1 1/2 cup grated cheese (whatever you like ...cheddar or swiss is great for this)
2 giant sweet onions
olive oil or butter to coat the pan (be generous)
2-3 cloves spring garlic
a handfull of fresh chopped herbs like parsley, chives, thyme mint or whatever you have mix and match
lots of fresh cracked pepper and a bit of hot red pepper...

you want to slowly caramelize the onions in the oil/butter in a nonstick skillet that will hold everything ...be patient do not scortch or burn them just take your time and a tiny bit of salt to help remove the water and cook them down to that sexy caramel color!!! then add the garlic and herbs ..sprinkle all the cheese on top add the slightly beaten eggs and let them sit for about 10 min on med on the stove...when it appears the edges are starting to pull away finnish under the broiler in the oven.

I love to leave this until it is room temp to eat and it is a fantastic lunch.....ok your turn what is your favorite eggie recipe????

I can't pick just one I love eggs. They are the one food that made this WOE possible for me.

Ilike an omelet made where you seperate the eggs beat the yolks with a tablespoon of cream
Whip the whites until stff,
Fold into the yolks with some grated cheese. Brown bottom in a cast iron skillet then broil until done.

I like omelets.

I like them filled with shrimp, crabmeat and cream cheese.

or

Filled with fresh sauteed spinach, garlic and cream cheese.

or

Mushrooms, cheddar cheese.

or

Fresh sliced roma tomatos, sauteed onion and green pepper, ham and cheddar cheese.

I could go on and on and on LOL

I'm an omlette girl too.

I like them with

tomatos, peameal (cdn bacon to the us folks) and swiss

pepperoni, pizza sauce, peppers

smoked salmon and cream cheese,

bacon tomato and cheese

feta, kalamata olives and peppers,

just plain cheese (jalepeno montery jack , or Oka cheese are my favs)

I love them cause you can pretty much throw anything in them. the easiest perfect breakfast! I have them pretty much every day.

[MotherOfGizmo]

Yum Sadie those all sound good too. I like them for dinner too! :yes

Here's a "leftover" egg recipe! When I make eggplant lasagna, I mix the ricotta cheese with an egg and an Italian cheese blend. There is typically some of this cheese mixture leftover -- so I throw in another egg or two or eggbeaters, some half/half and make a weird quiche kind of thing! If there is left over Italian sausage -- I throw that in too! I make it in ramekins and bake in a water bath! Nice change from the usual omelet or quiche that I have for breakfast!

I love eggs!

Egg salad plain and simple or with a bit of grated onion and some black olives
I eat eggs and sausage every single day and haven't tired of it in a year and a half!!!

But I have this recipe I got from Sugarbusters I love to make this and eat it with a fresh salad. makes a delicious lunch or snack.
Here is the recipe... but I also add green or white onion diced and a ton of chopped cilantro.
I serve it with more cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
The first time I made this my husband said it was terrific but he didn't want to know what was in it!!! LOL he thought I had made it with flax!!!! I have no Idea where he would get and idea like that LOLOL.

Egg CURRY !!!

I learnt this from Fijian Indians. They hard-boil their eggs then deep fry in oil so it goes brown on the outside. You don't have to, but they are nicer.

then you go ahead and make your curry sauce base, and normally you would add potatoes, but I can do without. I do add tomatoes and serve up the dish with my fave veggies! I've seen the Indians also add peas, but these are also limited on Atkins.
