What is the difference between an omelet and a frittata?

Image result for frittata

And, unlike omelets, frittata fillings are mixed in with the eggs in the pan rather than folded in the center. To make a frittata, well-beaten eggs are cooked on the stove in a hot skillet, along with the fillings, for a few minutes until the outer edges are set.

Make-Ahead Potato Leek Egg Bake
by

Make-Ahead Potato Leek Egg Bake

Fortunately last Tuesday after my mindful steps class at the senior center there were eggs and bread out for the taking each egg package had 10 eggs so this dish was sent by the universe. That same morning Lyn found this in the Globe and asked if I would make it, it was well worth it the little effort it took.

Butter for dish
2 medium (1 pound) Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium leeks, thinly sliced and well rinsed
1 package (5.2 ounces) Boursin cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh chives Note: For some reason no one had fresh chives so I used scallion greens
10 eggs
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
½ cup panko or other unflavored dry white breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  1. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt with cold water to cover by at least 1-inch. Bring to a boil, lower the heat slightly, and simmer the potatoes for 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer to a bowl.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons butter. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until the leeks are becoming translucent. Remove from the heat.
  4. Add the leeks to the potatoes with the Boursin and chives. Stir gently.
  5. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, cream, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer the potato mixture to the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days.
  7. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Set the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
  8. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, Parmesan, panko or dry breadcrumbs, and thyme. Sprinkle the mixture over the top of the eggs.
  9. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center. Turn on the broiler. Broil the dish for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the panko is golden brown. Watch the dish carefully so it does not burn.
  10. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest in a warm place for 5 minutes. Cut into squares for serving.

  2. Place diced apples in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Set aside.

Lyn’s oat brand and hazel nut flour waffels

Lyn made some hazel nut milk the other day and dried out the leftover pulp then ground in food processor to make flour.  With this she made some of her waffles. We have one of those mini single serve waffle makers, she will make a batch and freeze them as a make ahead ready to reheat breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup oat bran
  • 1/2 cup hazelnut flour ( you can use almond flour)
  • 1 large egg (see notes for egg-free version)
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch 
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your waffle iron, as this batter will come together quickly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat bran and hazelnut flour, egg, arrowroot, olive oil, maple syrup, water, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Use a whisk to stir well, making sure to break up any clumps.
  3. When the waffle iron is hot, grease it with spray oil, then pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle iron.
  4. Cook until your waffle iron lets you know that the waffles are done, roughly 4 to 5 minutes. (This will vary based on your waffle iron.
  5. Use a fork to carefully remove the cooked waffle, then repeat with the remaining batter, making 5 waffles in total. Be sure to spray the griddle with oil between each waffle, to prevent sticking. Keep in mind that the waffles may look flimsy right when you remove them from the waffle iron, but they will crisp up quickly– within 60 seconds– when you transfer them to a plate.
  6. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
  7. She likes to take leftover waffles and freeze and pops them in the toaster to reheat!

Lyn’s egg sandwich stuffer

Before the pandemic Lyn would make these and freeze so she would have a quick breakfast she could have here or at work.

In muffin tin in oven. Thin slice of ham. I get Ultra thin from Whole Foods or can use any breakfast meat on bottom. Then put leaf of spinach or basil ove another herbs, drop egg into cup, sprinkle with spice. I like Trader Joe’s everything but the bagel spice. Bake 350 for about 20 minutes. Viola!

To reheat when frozen 30 second depending on the microwave.

Oat Flour Pancakes

Oat Flour Pancakes

It is amazing how hungry one gets when you are doing nothing. These days especially when it is raining or snowing, we do a lot of nothing, physically that is. Since my rainy day venues have been closed to casual walking and I’ll melt in the rain I fall into that trap. These days our thoughts go quickly to what’s for lunch or dinner even breakfast. I’ve always been an early riser but have extended this to 5 AM, I know half the day gone. Those early risers like me understand. Lately we have been trying to hold off on breakfast and find something that is filling and taste good. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Back in 2012 I gave into one of Lyn’s cravings and made Lyn’s Blueberry Oatmeal pancakes. They were good and on this last Saturday Lyn hinted about this recipe she had found by Julie Harrington for her weekly Sunday breakfast in bed.  It was very good and surprisingly filling making lunch a small salad. Did not suppress the “What’s For …..” you got to have something to look forward to.

Anyway

These oat flour pancakes are whole grain and gluten-free, making them a perfect fit for any pancake enthusiast!

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup oat flour (see notes)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add milk, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, and eggs; whisk together.
  3. Slowly add wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until it just comes together. (do not overmix)
  4. Let batter sit for 5-7 minutes. It will thicken.
  5. Lightly spray a hot griddle with cooking spray.
  6. Use a 1/2 measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter onto the griddle.
  7. Let the pancakes bubble before flipping. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
  8. I also mashed a bunch of blueberries and heated in some maple syrup.

Notes

Make your own oat flour:
Place either rolled oats or instant oats in a food processor at high speed. Process until it turns into fine oat flour.

Batter makes 6 medium-sized pancakes.
