Hilarys Heavenly Eggs for Two

From EatingWell

This unusual combination of eggs braised in tomato sauce served on crusty bread is out of this world. Also try it over angel hair pasta.

2 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, sliced

1/2 ounce pancetta, chopped (optional)

1 cup prepared marinara sauce

2 large eggs

3 large fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces

1 1/2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 slices whole-wheat country bread, toasted

Preparation

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and pancetta (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add marinara and adjust heat to maintain a simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, taking care not to break the yolk. Make a well in the sauce roughly large enough to hold the egg and slip it in so that the yolk and most of the white is contained (some white may spread out). Repeat with the remaining egg, spacing the eggs around the pan. Sprinkle the sauce with basil; cover and cook until the eggs are the desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-set. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with Parmesan and pepper.

To serve, top each slice of toasted bread with an egg and sauce. Serve immediately.

I posted this recipe last week (I think). I made it yesterday and it was AWFUL! Way too sweet and the cake mix-butter mixture was a pale icky tasting mess.

I definitely DO NOT recommend making this. In case you copied/pasted it to try, I apologize.

CROCKPOT DESSERT (CD Kitchen)

1 can (21 ounce size) cherry or apple pie filling
1 package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted

Place pie filling in crock pot. Combine dry cake mix and butter (will be crumbly) sprinkle over filling. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup chopped walnuts if you desire. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.

This was what I was going to make the other night, but found out my puff pastry was shells instead of sheets. Guess what's on my grocery list? SALMON IN PUFF PASTRY (Parade Magazine) 12 ounces pastry puff sheets, thawed if frozen 2 (6 to 7 ounce) salmon fillets 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened salt (to taste) freshly ground black pepper (to taste) 1 egg, lightly beaten Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into four pieces, each about 5 by 8 inches. Transfer two pieces to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remove the skin from the salmon and place a fillet in the center of each of those pieces. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, basil and butter. Stir until the herbs are thoroughly mixed in. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the butter mixture on top of the salmon. Dip a pastry brush into the beaten egg and let the excess run off. Brush the edges of the pastry around the salmon with the egg. Cover each piece with the remaining puff pastry. Pinch the pastry together firmly to seal, then lightly press the tines of a dinner fork along the edges for a decorative effect. Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining egg. With a sharp knife, cut two small slits into the top of each pastry so the steam can escape during baking. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry has risen and is crisp and golden.

Made this quite a few times and it's become restaurants "new" thing here. One restaurant serves every Wed smoked pork and grits. Grits and greens **with my added notes 3 cups milk 1 cup water Use chicken stock skip the bullion cubes 1 chicken bouillon cube 1 cup "quick" grits 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1 lb. greens (mustard, turnip, collard, spinach, chard, or any combo of these) or equivalent amount of frozen or canned greens Usegood GLORY CANNED SEASON TURNIP GREENS 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings (or oil or butter) don't need several slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled salt and pepper to taste Directions: In large heavy saucepan or pot heat the milk, water and bouillon cube to just below a boil. Slowly whisk in grits and cook for 5-10 minutes or until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching. When grits are thickened, stir in 1 and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and allow to melt (reserve 1/4 cup for top). Remove from heat. Meanwhile, wash greens and heat bacon drippings in large skillet over high heat. Put greens in skillet while still a little wet from washing. Cook until thoroughly wilted, then drain. If using frozen greens, just heat and drain well; if canned, just drain well. Chop greens up very fine. Stir into grits mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into casserole dish (I use 2 pie pans and freeze one of these for later). Top with crumbled bacon and remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F until bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. You want it to still be a little bit loose. It will thicken as it stands. Use broiler to brown top. This freezes well. Just thaw beforehand and cook as above, adding another 10-15 minutes.

Wild rice was mentioned in last nite's dinner thread. This is the recipe that I use for Wild Rice Soup. It's delicious, as Patti can also attest. Wild Rice Soup 6 tablespoons margarine or butter 2-3 tablespoons minced onion 1/2 cup flour 3 cups chicken broth 2 cups cooked wild rice 1/2 cup finely grated carrots (I use more) 1 cup minced ham or leftover cooked chicken 3 tablespoons slivered almonds (you can put them in the soup OR toast and top as a garnish) Salt to taste if you want 1 cup half and half (see note below) 2 tablespoons dry sherry In large saucepan, melt margarine; saute onion until tender. Blend in flour; gradually add broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in rice, carrots, ham, almonds and salt; simmer about 5 minutes. Blend in half and half and sherry; heat to serving temperature. Garnish with snipped parsley or chives. Sauteed sliced portabella mushrooms are a nice addition to this recipe. If half n half is too rich or caloric for you feel free to sub in some milk or low fat cream. This recipe is very forgiving and there aren't many substitutions that can ruin it. Amount: 6 to 7 cups.

I've been wanting to try to make a gluten-free ice cream, so as soon as I have room in my freezer I want to try this. I added the "Thai Organic" to the first ingredient because it's the brand I use for rice and anything that calls for coconut milk.

VANILLA COCONUT MILK ICE CREAM (The Nourishing Gourmet).

2 cans (14. Oz.) full fat coconut milk (Thai Organic)
1/3-1/2 cup of honey
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

Combine all of the ingredients well. I usually have to use a whisk to get the honey to combine with the coconut milk. Make into ice cream according to the directions on your ice cream maker. "Ripen" in the freezer for a few hours and serve. Will last a week or two in the freezer. I like to use an alcohol based vanilla extract as it seems to help keep the ice cream from getting as hard.

I feel that way about the dump cakes in general Patti.
I make the peach sometimes to take to family gatherings. Everyone loves it, except hubby and I.
