  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 c. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

  • 2 medium apples, peeled if desired, thinly sliced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400. Place two pie pans in the oven to heat. Beat the eggs, flour, milk, and salt on medium speed for 1 minute. Combine sugar and cinnamon and set aside. Take the pans out of the oven and put 2 tbsp. butter in each one, swirling to coat bottom and sides. Spread the apple slices in the bottom of the pans. Pour half the batter in each pan.

Savory Monkey Bread

Bread Breakfast Side Dish Untested

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf unsliced bread
  • 1 cup pesto
  • 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the bread: Score the bread lengthwise. To do this, slice the bread as you would for toast, but don’t cut all the way down to the base of the loaf. The idea is to keep the bread in a loaf shape and fully intact. Repeat this scoring across the width of the loaf. You will end up with what looks like little squares of bread.

3. Use a spatula or butter knife to spread pesto in the crevices of the bread. No need to be precise–just get a good slathering in there.

4. Next, place mozzarella slices inside the crevices, wedging them in so that they don’t stick out too far at the top (you want all that gooeyness inside the bread and off your pan).

5. Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet, and bake until the pesto is bubbly and the mozzarella is melted, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve warm.

Tortilla de Patata con Chips

Breakfast Main Course Potato Spanish Tapas Untested

Ingredients

  • 7 large eggs
  • 1 bag nice plain potato chips (6.7 oz)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil

Preparation

Break 6 eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2/3 of the bag of chips and stir, crushing them a little as you blend the eggs together. Allow the mixture to sit until the chips absorb most of the egg, about 5 minutes. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and add it to the egg-chip mixture. Add the salt.

Heat 2 tbsp. of oil in a small saute pan (no more than 6" in diameter), over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and stir briskly a few times with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking. Shake the pan in a circular motion for 10 seconds to keep the mixture loose as the eggs start to stick together. Lower the temperature and cook for 1 minute more.

Place a plate over the pan and invert the pan/plate so the tortilla winds up on the plate, raw side down. If the pan looks dry, add the last 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Return the tortilla to the pan by sliding it back in, raw side down. Cook for another 60 seconds, until the bottom is fully set.

Slide onto a clean serving plate, garnish with a sprinkle of salt and maybe a few more chips.

Pancakecake (Pannkakstårta)

Breakfast Dessert Cake Pancake Swedish Untested

Ingredients

For the pancake batter:

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 c. flour
  • 4 c. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 50 g melted butter

For the filling/garnish:

  • berries
  • about 2 1/2 c. whipping cream, sweetened

Preparation

Melt the butter in your pancake skillet (should be big, around 12" at least). Beat the eggs and whisk in the flour until all lumps are gone. Add the sugar, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Pour in a little milk at a time until the mixture becomes a nice paste. (These will be thin pancakes, somewhere between American pancakes and crepes.) Pour the melted butter into the batter. Mix well every time you take a scoop of batter to cook. Cook all the pancakes in butter and let them cool. Whip the cream and sweeten it (you can add some vanilla, too). When the pancakes have cooled, put a pancake on a plate, add a little cream and berries, and repeat until you run out of stuff.

Chard and Onion Omelet (Trouchia)

Breakfast Main Course French Greens Omelet

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red or white onion, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1 bunch chard, leaves only, chopped
  • Salt and freshly milled pepper
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 6 to 8 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
  • 2 teaspoons chopped thyme
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Preparation

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 10-inch skillet, add the onion, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely soft but not colored, about 15 minutes. Add the chard and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has cooked off and the chard is tender, about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, mash the garlic in a mortar with a few pinches of salt (or chop them finely together), then stir it into the eggs along with the herbs. Combine the chard mixture with the eggs and stir in the Gruyère and half the Parmesan.

Preheat the broiler. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet and, when it’s hot, add the eggs. Give a stir and keep the heat at medium-high for about a minute, then turn it to low. Cook until the eggs are set but still a little moist on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the remaining Parmesan and broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat, until browned.

Serve trouchia in the pan or slide it onto a serving dish and cut it into wedges. The gratinéed top and the golden bottom are equally presentable.
