Brunch Recipes

10 Dec 2013

Does anyone have some good, fail-safe recipes for Brunch?

Something that you can either:

Prepare the night before, and keep in the fridge .... and slip it into the oven ... easy peasy!
or
Whip up with a minimal amount of time (and hopefully minimum amount of dishes) ... and again, slip into the oven.

OK ... Post away! I'm watching!!

I had to go hunting for my own brunch recipes!!

Scrambled Egg Burritos

INGREDIENTS
4 9-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas
4 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles
1/2 cup grated Cheddar, or pepper Jack cheese
2 cups Black Bean & Tomato Salsa or prepared salsa
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

PREPARATION
~ Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
~ Blend eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until blended. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add chiles and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add eggs and cook, stirring slowly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until soft, fluffy curds form, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
~ To serve, divide eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and roll up. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Sunday Sausage Strata

INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound turkey breakfast sausage, (four 2-ounce links), casing removed
2 medium onions, chopped (2 cups)
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced (1 1/2 cups)
12 large eggs
4 cups 1% milk
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
6 cups cubed, whole-wheat country bread, (about 7 slices, crusts removed)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese, (4 ounces)

PREPARATION
1. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (or similar shallow 3-quart baking dish) with cooking spray.
2. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Add onions and bell pepper to the pan and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl until blended.
4. Spread bread in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the sausage and the onion mixture evenly over the bread. Brush with mustard. Sprinkle with cheese. Pour in the egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the strata, uncovered, until puffed, lightly browned and set in the center, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving hot.

I am gathering some but I have to be careful because I am one of those in depth cooks who thinks simple or easy is not the same as what non cooks think. I have been accused of giving easy recipes that weren't easy.

I love a good brunch though. I shall return. coffee

I love a good Eggs Florentine:

I usually use all fresh ingredients but in the interest of ease a frozen bag of spinach will do if it is thawed. I use fresh but hell if you have a bag use it.

Here is what you will need:A loaf of french bread, eggs, butter, cream cheese, milk, onion, salt and pepper.
fre
Slice the french bread into thick slices and toast. I usually do it on the bias but you be you and do it like you like.

Sautee onion in butter once it is clear add spinach, cream cheese and milk until it is creamy but the spinach should be dominate. Slowly add. I am not a measurement person so I can't tell you how much but just a bit at a time. Salt and pepper to your own taste.

Toast your bread and poach your eggs.

So the stack is:Toast, creamy spinach and then poached eggs.

Very easy and very yummy. Adjust the amounts to the number of people you are feeding.
