This post is a little late, but after finally sleeping in on Sunday I made one of my favorite brunch dishes. This was also the first brunch I made for Hubster about 5 years ago, I served it with my brunch salad and he thought I was crazy. Now, he loves the brunch potatoes I make with it and eats the salad without fuss.

Brunch Eggs

Brunch Eggs

 

Ingredients:
4 english muffins or bread, olive oil, 8 fresh basil leaves, 2 c. diced tomatoes, 4 eggs, 8 slices of provolone

Directions:
Coat four small Pyrex ramekins with olive oil. Mix fresh basil with diced tomatoes and divide mixture into each ramekin. Make a small well in the tomato mixture and then crack an egg into each well. Bake the ramekins until eggs are done to your preference (350°F for about 20 minutes). Turn off the oven, top each ramekin with a slice or two of provolone cheese, and place back in the oven for two minutes. Right before serving, flip ramekin over a toasted pumpernickel bread. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a sprinkle of grated provolone.

*Usually I serve this on english muffins, however I had a few slices of tasty pumpernickel.

What is your favorite type of bread to use in recipes?

Hubster loves his eggs for breakfast and he’s over the Cheerios and oatmeal I give him to keep his cholesterol love (He doesn’t have a cholesterol problem, I just worry with all the meat, eggs and ice cream he eats). I wanted to make a delicious breakfast, that was also a bit healthier.

Egg White Omelet
I whisked together 8 egg whites, 1 tsp. vinegar (to help make the eggs fluffy), 1/2 Tbsp. minced onions, salt and pepper. Pour into hot pan and cook over medium heat until eggs begin to set. Add the cheese, meat and vegetables of your choice on half of the eggs. Fold omelet in half and continue to heat to melt the cheese. Remove from heat, transfer to a plate and serve.

This time I used turkey bacon, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. Another favorite of mine in spinach and Feta cheese.

Which are you favorite omelet ingredients?

Hubster and I tried to go out for breakfast at 10am. All three places we tried to stop, were not open for Sunday breakfast (one thing I miss about living somewhere less rural).  So after dreaming of yummy breakfast I came home and made myself Eggs Lorraine… then I decided to blog about brunch.

I love making brunch, Hubster used to be confused when I’d serve him “eggs and salad” (as he says) at the same time. The first time I had made him brunch, he was hesitant, but then loved it!! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, however I don’t have time to make gourmet things in the morning before work. I sometimes daydream of running a B&B.  I complied several of my favorite brunch recipes together to share the list/recipes with my readers.

Brunch Salad – Mixed greens topped with walnuts, pear slices, mandarin oranges and a raspberry vinaigrette.  I change it up seasonally. Spring: asparagus spears, violets. Summer: cherry tomatoes, fresh cherries, blue berries, raspberries. Autumn: pomegranate seeds, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes. Winter: roasted butternut squash seeds, dried cranberries, tangerines.

Fruit Cup – Mix together fresh raspberries, sliced star fruit, cubed cantaloupe, cubed pineapple, slice strawberries, crumbled blue cheese. Mix together chopped fresh basil, 2 Tbs. honey, 2 Tbs. olive oil and a splash of orange juice. Toss fruit with dressing and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Brunch Eggs – Coat four small Pyrex ramekins with olive oil. Mix fresh basil with diced tomatoes and divide mixture into each ramekin. Make a small well in the tomato mixture and then crack an egg into each well. Bake the ramekins until eggs are done to your preference (350°F for about 25 minutes). Turn off the oven, top each ramekin with a slice of provolone cheese, and place back in the oven for two minutes. Right before serving, flip ramekin over a toasted english muffin. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a sprinkle of grated provolone.

Eggs Benedict – This classic is made with asparagus instead of Canadian bacon in my household (sometimes I use turkey ham). I layer a toasted english muffin with a poached egg, the asparagus and then top it off with the Hollandaise sauce (find my recipe Hollandaise sauce recipe here).

Pumpkin Waffles – Autumn Brunch Favorite! Serve warm with fresh churned cinnamon or vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream or fresh whipped butter.  *Serve with fresh apple cider & brunch salad.

Eggs Lorraine – Coat a 8″x8″ baking dish with EVOO. Line with turkey ham or turkey bacon, then with Swiss cheese. Break nine eggs over the cheese (in a 3 by 3 array). In a small bowl mix 5 Tbs. sour cream (or plain yogurt), fresh cracked black pepper and fresh ground sea salt, then dollop over the eggs. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives.

Monte Cristo Sandwich – Mix together your favorite french toast batter (I use 2 eggs, 1 c. of milk, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and a splash of vanilla). Slice a loaf of fresh french bread and make a sandwich, adding a slice of Swiss cheese and smoked turkey. Dip the sandwich into the french toast mixture and cook of a hot griddle until golden brown on each side. For Hubster I load up the sandwich with, turkey, ham, Swiss and Provolone. My son likes turkey with Swiss and Provolone. Some people like to serve with jam, mustard,or powdered sugar. I like to use maple syrup for brunch (gourmet champagne dill mustard for lunch).

Pecan Caramel Apple Pancakes – Caramel and almond extract in the batter, hot pancakes topped with Golden Delicious apples, caramel sauce, and pecans? Mmm… Ge the how to here.

Quiché – Always a brunch favorite, can be made with any combination of veggies, cheese and meats you choose. Try my crustless Quiché.

Chicken Broccoli Crepes – First, I make savory crepes. Then, I sauté the chicken and broccoli and make a white cheddar sauce to top it off with.

Turkey Sausage – Remember to add the fennel when your use this turkey sausage recipe.

Serve biscotti with coffee, tea and hot cocoa. Prepare Jam with fresh scones.
