neadodsSorry about the spam, but I thought I should split these last two posts, as they aim at different demographics of the f-list.
Three recipes I've tried with success today:
Italian Wedding Soup (adapted liberally from a Food Network recipe) Warning - I didn't use a lot of exact measurements.
Soup base: 1 qt chicken broth, 1 clove garlic, about 1/4 c minced parsley.
Meat balls: 1/4 lb ground pork, 1 egg, 2 cloves garlic, 1 slice seedy bread, a palmful of parsley and parmesan, and a dash of pesto. Put everything but the pork in the blender, then mix in with the meat.
"Noodles" - 2 eggs and a lot of grated parmesan.
1) Set the soup base to simmer while mixing the meat and beating the eggs with the cheese.
2) When the soup is simmering, drop in the meat. It won't stay in meatball shape, just let it spread out and cook in the soup, about 8 minutes.
3) Stir the soup very quickly while drizzing in the egg and cheese, which will form noodle-like filaments.
4) Find and fish out the clove of garlic.
5) Eat. Dusting the top with more parmesan is optional.
2-Serving Bread Pudding
Grease a very small dish.
Rip up a slice of bread. Layer it on top with some sliced or canned fruit (a mini-can of peaches is what I tried this time; I'll be trying bananas later) and top that with a second slice of ripped-up bread.
Beat together:
1 egg
4 t sugar
1/3 cup milk, yogurt, or mix thereof
pinch salt
couple of dashes of cinnamon sugar
Pour over bread. Press so all pieces soak up liquid. Let sit 1/2 hour to get good and absorbed.
Bake ~15 minutes at 350, until a knife comes out clean.
Different tastes can come from using different breads (croissants, french, challah), different fruits (peach, pear, apple, banana, coconut), and different sweetners (honey, brown sugar, chocolate). An excellent use of leftover bread.
2-Serving Egg strata (adapted liberally from The Big Book of Breakfast):
Grease a small dish. Layer inside:
Enough frozen hash browns to cover the bottom
sliced onion and/or any color pepper
2-3 cooked and crumbled slices of bacon
Beat together:
2 eggs
1/4 cup mingled cream cheese and drained (greek-style) yogurt.
palmful of grated/shredded cheese (any kind)
Pour over the potato mix.
Bake @ 350 for about ~20 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
Like the pudding, flavors can be adjusted by using different seasonings (onions, peppers), meats (ham, salmon, chicken), and different hard cheeses (parmesan, cheddar, pub). You can add vegetables. You can probably use ricotta or cottage cheese instead of the cream cheese, or all yogurt.

Date: 2008-04-21 01:54 am (UTC)Why not?Forgive me, that was a profoundly stupid question at this point in time. I'm sorry.Me, I'm trying to figure out how to do quick and easy recipes that I can take to work as breakfast, and which will help me use up the loaves of the sesame semolina bread I love so much but which are far too big for one person to eat quickly.
