What better way to enjoy breakfast for dinner than with a breakfast salad topped with poached eggs.

March is Nutrition Month, which perfectly aligns with the main ingredient in this meal – eggs! Eggs are so nutrient-dense and versatile, this dish of soft boiled eggs in Comte sauce is a great way to enjoy eggs as a main for lunch or dinner.

BBQ season means grilling! From meat to veggies and even eggs, like these grilled portobello mushroom eggs.

Happy Father’s Day! Hope all you fathers had a lovely day being celebrated.
We started our day with a breakfast for the dads in our life. It’s always nice to share a meal and celebrate the ones we love.
Not wanting to do something we had done before, hubby and I decided on these baked eggs in potato shells. Prepped the night before, it didn’t take long to have ready for today.
Along with these eggs, we served beef sausages, roasted potato wedges – made with the extras from the prepped potatoes, french bread with homemade whipped butter, sourdough toast with warm ricotta and watermelon and cantaloupe balls in a watermelon “bowl”.
Although a little time consuming, these were really easy to make. Last night, we washed, oiled and baked the potatoes for an hour. We then cut little wedges out of the top and scooped out part of the potato. This morning, we made an egg mixture with veggies and cheese, filled the potato shells and baked for half an hour. The eggs and potatoes were a hit and were quite filling. It is definitely something we would make again.
Happy Dad’s Day to my dad, my hubby and my father-in-law! You guys are the best!
To celebrate our anniversary, hubby and I thought it would be fun to spend some time in the kitchen and attempt to make eggs benedict. I had made it years before but the hollandaise just didn’t seem right and the poached egg did not look like what I would order at a restaurant. I am so thrilled that I found Kitchen Magpie‘s instructions on making EASY eggs benedict. When I poached eggs years earlier, I had used a huge pot. Turns out all you need is a pan – less depth seemed to hold the eggs together. 1 TB of vinegar in boiling water, 3 minutes later, you have the perfect poached egg.
The blender hollandaise was super easy and came together perfectly. 3 egg yolks, 2 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt whirred together. 1/2 cup of hot melted butter drizzled into the mix and you have the simplest and tastiest hollandaise.
The perfectly cooked poached egg was laid upon a slice of turkey bacon on an english muffin. Topped with the buttery sauce and some pepper, it was a tasty way to start the day.
It’s been a long week and as tempting as it was to grab take out, I had to resist. We had a busy weekend ahead and I knew we would be eating out. I decided it was time to start cleaning out my freezer. With a wedding in the family coming up in the summer, I had a feeling we would need some space in there. I was happy to find some scallops and jumbo prawns but couldn’t think of any side to make with it. We had finished most of our produce and rice just didn’t appeal to me. Rummaging through the fridge, I did notice that we had an abundance of eggs and spinach….scrambled eggs, why not?
After making the seafood, I felt that it really needed some kind of sauce. The lemon butter sauce I threw together with garlic was just the right flavours needed to top off the scallops and prawns.
The combination was perfect! Comfort and decadence on one plate.
Seared Scallops and Prawns
6 sea scallops
6 jumbo prawns
olive oil
salt
pepper
2 TB butter
2 TB lemon juice
1 garlic clove
Pat the seafood dry and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a hot pan and sear until cooked. Once seafood has been removed from the pan, add the butter, lemon juice and garlic. Pour sauce over seafood and enjoy.
Comforting, satisfying and oh so delicious, this beef and egg flatbread is one you’re going to want to devour.
