Egg recipes please, along with other home recipes

[raildogg]

Hello, I am trying to eat at home now and need some egg recipes. Please have some good serious responses.

Do you have the cooking skills and ambition to tackle a souffle? That's the highest plane of existence that an egg can achieve.

I may try but for now, I want simple and easy. I do not have that much time or energy but would like to cook at home.

Any of you trying to avoid eating out?

Pseudo Huevos Rancheros:

A purist will spend a lot of time using tomatoes and fresh chilis to come up with a sauce that's very similar to commercial bottled salsa. I just use commercial bottled salsa instead, it saves a lot of time and tastes 95% as good.

Warm a couple of tortillas in a little butter over low heat
Remove tortilla, add more butter and turn up the heat.
Fry two eggs either sunny side up or over easy
When the eggs are done place one on each tortilla.
Top with salsa, shredded cheddar and sour cream.

Are you trying to eat better, or just avoiding eating out? I have to eat better, but unfortunately, I can do some pretty awful things with eggs. And by awful, I mean delicious, but awfully bad for you.

For instance, Sauce Bearnaise. Clarify a stick of butter. In a small pot, add one chopped shallot, two or three sprigs of tarragon, and half a cup of champagne vinegar (classic recipes use red wine vinegar, i think, that works too). Reduce to half, strain, and cool. Over a double boiler, or if you've practiced, right over the burner, whisk up two egg yolks with the vinegar mixture until pale and frothy. Don't scramble them. Pull from the heat, and whisk in the butter. Drizzle it in slow at first so that the emulsion doesn't break. Add a bit of finely chopped tarragon and serve over... anything.

Two egg yolks is probably enough to emulsify up to two sticks of butter. I learned how to do this out of one of Anthony Bourdain's cookbooks I think.

2 cups milk
4 eggs
loaf of bread(your choice)
1 lb breakfast sausage (cooked)
block of cheddar (grated)
butter
corn flakes


1. grease the sides of an 11x13 baking pan with the butter
2. mix the eggs and the milk together
3. Cut the loaf into slices, and if you want to you can cut the crust off. Butter them all, and then layer enough of them to cover the bottom butter side up.
3. Layer about half of the sausage on top of the first layer of bread, and then sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese over that.
4. use the remaining slices of bread to make a new layer, and finish it up with the rest of the sausage and cheese.
5. Once you're done with that evenly pour the milk/egg mixture on top, then using your hands push down all across the pan so the bread absorbs the liquid.
6. Now pop it in the fridge, or if you've got cold weather you can put it outside, for about 2 hours.
7. Melt some butter over the stove, and then throw in a bunch of corn flakes. Just before you put it in the oven sprinkle the buttered corn flakes over the top.
8. Now all you gotta do is put it in the oven for 45min at 350F.

Fried rice with egg.

Had quiche this morning. Just look up the recipe, it's easy and you can throw in whatever you want.

Try egg casserole.

Take a rectangle Pyrex baking dish and spray Pam in it.

Line the bottom and sides with uncooked, unrolled Pillsbury croissants from the tubes (1 big tube or 3 small tubes). Make sure they form a liquid tight seal or the eggs will burn to the bottom of the dish.

Brown two large tubes of sausage in a skillet then spread them evenly in the pan.

Beat eight XL eggs like a redheaded stepchild and pour them over the sausage.

Bake for 30 min at 350

sprinkle a bag of shreaded cheddar-jack over it and bake for 10 more minutes.

Breakfast for a week! And it's so damn easy!

thats why i came in here. souffle is awesome.

and honestly, its not *that* hard, you just cant be careless.

a proper omelette is easy enough, and very fast, and great for adding all sorts of things (bacon, sausage, cheese, some sauteed veg, whatever), i like mine slightly underdone. this is what i make most often with eggs for something fast.

a frittata is easier, and great for holding anything.

quiche is a good idea.
