My regular readers know how I love my smoked Gouda cheese and how NOT fond of eggs I am! Well, yet another creation with it this morning that was very good indeed and SUPER simple. Not too “eggy” tasting for me, either. This breakfast is Induction friendly. INGREDIENTS: 4 slices bacon 1 oz. smoked [...]

Shallot Boursin and Bacon Scrambled Eggs
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on August 14, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I tried a new flavor of Boursin cheese in my eggs today. This one is called “Shallot and Chive”. Since those flavors go so well with bacon, I decided to toss the bacon right into the eggs today. Mwah! Really good flavor combo, this. If I had had a shallot on hand, I’d have added [...]
Mexican Breakfast Stack

Lately I’m trying to push more of my protein (40-50g) intake to breakfast for its ability to stave off snacking desires the rest of the day. Here’s a breakfast that gets you close to that goal in a hurry! This is Induction friendly! I didn’t think to garnish this with green onion, but in retrospect, [...]
Spinach and Eggs
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches, MAIN DISHES on August 4, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I realized as I made this for breakfast today that I should not assume everyone is familiar with this “delicacy” (she says with tongue in cheek). It was a staple in my house growing up. And sometimes I forget every household is different and many may have never enjoyed this wonderful food combination. So though [...]
Boursin Scrambled Eggs
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on July 27, 2011 | 5 Comments »
I keep Boursin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boursin_%28cheese%29) “Garlic and Fine Herbs” cheese in the door of my refrigerator and am finding lots of interesting things to try it in. I find it way too heavy all by itself or as a dip/spread. But am really starting to like it in small amounts in a variety of odd places. [...]
Breakfast Sausage “Pizza”
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on July 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
For this quick little skillet pizza, the eggs form the “crust”. But it only looks like a pizza until you cut into it. Then it looks like all the rest of the low-carb crustless quiches out there we all know and love. But this was tasty, so I’m going to go on and post it [...]
Turnip-Bacon Quiche

Click pic to enlarge Ever since starting my low-carb journey, I never cease to be amazed at how many fun things you can put into a crustless breakfast quiche and end up with a MUCH tastier result than expected when starting out. And often much better than my doubting husband, picky eater that he is, [...]
Scrambled Eggs with Herbs

Click pic to enlarge I had some leftover herb butter in the fridge from doing some steaks the other night and decided to use it to cook my scrambled eggs this morning. My reaction at the table was Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm! Why have I never thought of using herb butters (often called compund [...]
Panch Puran Indian Eggs

Click pic to enlarge Adapted from a recipe on Linda Genaw’s site, I decided to take my favorite Indian seasonings and throw them into eggs today and they came out quite good! Panch Puran, (known as either 5-spice mix or 7-spice mix), is a common Bengali and East Indian spice. I have the 7-spice blend [...]
Radish Hash Browns Quiche
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on May 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Click pic to enlarge Don’t judge this until you try it, Mikey. I swear this tastes just like hash browns in this crustless quiche. In fact, it’s perhaps the BEST quiche I’ve done to date! I was simply amazed, to be quite honest. INGREDIENTS: 5 large radishes, sliced 2 oz. onion, chopped 2 slices bacon, [...]
Crabby Quiche

Click pic to enlarge I made a batch of Galveston Crab Dip this week and had this idea to put some into a breakfast quiche, along with some bacon to smooth it out. Mmmmm. Came out great! This is OK for Induction. I thought I would name this dish in honor of my husband, who [...]

Bacon-Onion-Squash Frittata

Click pic to enlarge Wanting to reinvent 1/2 c. cooked yellow squash I had in the fridge, I added it to my bacon and onion frittata today! Hubby couldn’t even tell it was in there, but then his palate isn’t as discerning as mine. I could taste it and I think it added something! I [...]
Zucchini-Bacon Quiche

Click pic to enlarge I fixed this for breakfast today and it’s probably the best breakfast quiche I’ve done to date. Very little went into this but it sure was tasty. Induction friendly.

Peggy’s “Shy-Poke” Egg

Click pic to enlarge This low-carb wonder is in honor of two San Antonio diners (no longer in existence) known as Hipps Bubble Room, and its successor, Little Hipps. Our best friends used to take us to these places late night for beer and their famous “Shy-Poke Eggs”. Now you have to SEE this culinary [...]
Smoked Gouda Breakfast Pizza

Click pic to enlarge I’m a bachelorette this weekend, so I didn’t want to do much for breakfast. When I opened the fridge, I saw the little dab of homemade pork sausage I had left and my green onion bag laying right beside it. Got this idea to press the sausage into a pizza “crust”, [...]
Mushroom Upside-Down Omelet
Posted in BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on July 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Click pic to enlarge This was an experiment we both really liked a lot. Though you can use another cheese in this, it won’t be quite as good, as I discovered when I used jack cheese one time. You should omit the wine if still on Induction. If you carefully slide a teflon spatula under [...]
Mini Breakfast Quiches

Click pic to enlarge I made these for breakfast today and we both like them a lot. They puffed up so nicely but as with most egg items, fell after taking them out of the oven. The recipe made exactly 12. As I didn’t serve anything else with these, it took 5 to fill me [...]
Eggs with Tarragon Cream
Posted in ALL-STAR RECIPES, BREAKFAST FOODS, Eggs, Quiches on February 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Click pic to enlarge I’m not terribly fond of eggs just scrambled or fried. I have to “doctor them up” quite a bit to not get totally turned off on eating them day in and day out for breakfast. This is one way I’ve succeeded in making eggs not taste so much like eggs, to [...]
Sun-dried Tomato Quiche

Click Pic for larger view: I served this to company this morning and it got a thumbs up from both our guest and dear hubby! Try this one if you like the sweet tang of sun-dried tomatoes. Because of the CarbQuick bake mix, this one is not acceptable until late in OWL (grain rung). INGREDIENTS: [...]
