Egg in an Eggo Basket

I first saw this Eggo Waffle Toast on Instagram and HAD to make it myself .  WOW – I’m so glad I did! I don’t think I’ll ever eat plain Eggo waffles again!! 

This recipe is so easy and can be made in the air fryer in less than ten minutes. 

Ingredients

• 4 waffles (2 per person)
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk – you can also use heavy cream or half & half
• 1-2 tsp paprika
• ¼ cup shredded cheese
• Waffle toppings: fruit, powdered sugar, syrup

Instructions

Toast your frozen waffles for about 30 seconds – just enough to thaw them so you can cut a hole in the center.

Using a small cup press down in the center of the waffle to cut a hole, remove the center and place to the side. 

Crack one egg into the hole. 

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over each waffle and egg. 

Then sprinkle the salt, pepper and paprika on top. 

Lay the small waffle cut out to the side of the hole

Air Fryer Instructions

Place in an air fryer at 360 degrees for 7-8 minutes. 

Serve with syrup or topping of your choice.

Microwave Fluffy Eggs

Have you heard of cake in a mug? Well, this is just as easy, if not easier! 

These eggs are perfect for hectic mornings on the run! Ready in under two minutes, these eggs come out with that same classic flavor of stovetop scrambled eggs. You can eat them straight out of the mug or plop them on a breakfast sandwich! 

The other great thing about these is there’s less clean up. You mix and cook the eggs in the same mug. No pan to clean just a single coffee mug.

Feel free to add different seasonings or cheeses, this recipe is totally versatile! 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon whole milk (or cream)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Pinch black pepper
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter until melted, about 30 seconds. 

Brush it all over the bowl.

Break the eggs into the bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.

Microwave the eggs, uncovered, for 45 seconds.

Gently stir the eggs with a fork, then stir in the cheese. Microwave until fluffy and set but not completely dry, about 45-60 more seconds.
Serve immediately.

Souffle Omelette? Definitely sounds and looks fancy, but you can easily whip up this recipe in minutes and enjoy a new spin on breakfast.

This Souffle omelette has become one of my new favorites. I love how easy it is and the eggs are incredibly fluffy and soft, with a melted cheese center. You can use any type of cheese and fresh herbs. Feel free to switch things up! Be Creative!

You can’t have breakfast without a little bubbly.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs- separated, 3 egg whites and 3 egg yolks
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ounces grated cheddar cheese, divided
• Minced fresh chives and dill
• 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper until well mixed.

In a separate large mixing bowl, using a whisk, or electric hand blender beat egg whites until firm, glossy peaks form.

Add half of the beaten egg whites to yolks and stir well until whites are thoroughly combined and soufflé base has a looser consistency. 

Mix in half the cheese as well as the chives and dill, if using. 

Add remaining beaten whites, and, gently fold them into the soufflé base just until combined.

In a nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat, until foaming. Scrape the soufflé base into the pan. 

Using spatula, spread soufflé base into an even circle and smooth out the surface. 

Cover and cook until the bottom of the omelette is browned and the top is just 

a little loose still.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top; cover once more and cook until cheese starts to melt, about 1 minute longer.

Carefully slide the omelette out of the pan and onto a plate, folding it over itself. 

Serve right away.

Tips:

• After folding in the last of the egg whites, pour the batter into your heated pan as soon as possible. If you wait too long, the egg yolks will start to separate from the egg whites again.
• Make sure to cover the omelette with a lid as it cooks so that the omelette cooks all the way through.

Everything Bagel Cloud Eggs

I love when my friends text me pictures of the food they have made! This morning, my friend Adam texted Brian and I a picture of his breakfast and in his words, “Cloud Eggs. Holy ****! Delicious.”

Since I was trying to decide what I should eat for breakfast, I decided to give it a try and Adam was right, DELICIOUS!

Cloud Eggs are egg whites whipped to stiff peaks, seasoning folded in, formed into nests, baked with yolk in the center and covered with shredded cheese. 

All you need are 3 ingredients—egg, seasoning of your choice, and cheese. Per Adam’s recommendation, I used Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning! 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Make sure there are no little pieces of egg yolk in the whites or you will have difficulty getting the whites to beat properly. I find it is easiest to crack the whole egg into a bowl and then using your hand, pull the yolk out and place in a separate bowl. 

Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Beat the egg whites with a whisk attachment in a mixer (or using a hand mixer), starting on low speed and then slowly increasing to high speed, until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold in the seasoning, making sure not to deflate the peaks. 

Spoon two mounds of the egg white mixture on the lined baking sheet. Form the mounds so they look like nests, using the back of a spoon create an indent in the middle of the mound. Carefully, pour the yolk into the center of the indent and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. 

Bake for 7 minutes. 

INGREDIENTS (per serving)

• ¼ teaspoon seasoning of your choice
• 2 egg whites
• 2 yolks
• 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. Separate egg whites from egg yolks
3. Whips the egg whites until stiff peaks form
4. Gently fold in the seasonings of your choice
5. Spoon one portion of the egg whites onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. 
6. Use the back of the spoon to create an indent in the middle of the egg white “cloud”. 
7. Repeat for additional servings. 
8. Gently place an egg yolk into each egg white “cloud” indentation. 
9. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. 
10. Bake for 7 minutes.

Please comment, if you tried a different seasoning. The possibilities are endless!

Cheesy Popovers

I totally have a recipe bucket list, I mean, shouldn’t everyone? 🤣

I have always wanted to make popovers. So, I decided to try my hand at making them and I’m so mad I haven’t made them before. 

They are easy to make and delicious! 

You may be asking yourself, what is a popover?

They are like a muffin but light, airy, and crispy around the edges. In this recipe, they pull apart to a buttery cheesy magical pastry.

The name comes from literally “popping over” the sides of the pan and are baked in a hot oven until they “pop” up. They are a simple side item for a weeknight meal or holiday entertaining.

You may have heard that popovers are usually made in a special pan. Good news – you can use a regular muffin pan and they work just as well.

If you use a muffin pan, you may want to skip every other opening just in case they “pop” over onto each other.

Guess what? No mixer or blender is required. Just one bowl, a whisk and a rubber spatula is all you need.

You can get pretty creative with popovers! In the recipe below, I used Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, but you can use any cheese combination you like and then add your favorite seasoning, instead of garlic powder and cayenne in the recipe below. Or, switch it up completely, and make them sweet for a dessert by using sugar and cinnamon. The possibilities are endless! Get creative! 

Ingredients 

• 12 cup muffin pan or popover pan 
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder 
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan 
• 4 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or smoked paprika

Directions

1.    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2.    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter until combined. Whisk in the flour and salt and then fold in the cheeses and chives until even. Cover the batter and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3.    Put a muffin pan on the middle rack in the oven to warm for 10 minutes.

4.    Remove muffin pan from oven (careful, hot!) and pour the batter into the cups of the hot pan, filling almost to the top – make sure they are almost to the top.

5.    Lightly sprinkle with the cayenne or smoked paprika (a very small amount of cayenne). Bake the popovers until crisp and golden, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.

6.    Take each out of the pan, place on a wire rack, and pierce with a small paring knife to let steam escape. Serve hot.
