Broccoli, Cheese and Ham Omelet

Ham, cheddar and broccoli omelet

 

Broccoli, Cheese and Ham Omelet

(what I use in parenthesis)

  • 2   eggs (free range, farm fresh)
  • pinch sea salt (here), dash black pepper (here)
  • 1 TBS    butter (organic, grass fed)
  • 1/4-1/2 c   ham, diced (varies)
  • 1/4-1/2 c   broccoli, steamed, chopped (organic, frozen)
  • 1/4 c   cheddar cheese (raw)

Heat a skillet over medium heat.  Add your butter. Take your two eggs and break them open in a bowl add the salt and pepper, beating until fully combined and a little fluffy.  As the butter starts to lightly bubble, pour the eggs into the skillet.  I like to make holes as it is cooking for the runny parts to drain into, so that I can flip the egg over once it is good and set.  Quickly add your remaining ingredients to one side of the omelet and flip the other side over onto it.  Remove from heat and place a lid over the skillet for about a minute to let the cheese get all nice and melty (I skipped this step in the omelet pictured above because I was too anxious to get started on it lol).  Slide onto a plate and serve.

dash   sea salt

1 TBS   butter (grass fed, organic)

1/2 c   ham pieces

1/2 c   cooked asparagus pieces (organic, fresh)

1/4 t   dried parsley (organic)

Turn oven on broil.  Combine eggs, cheese, pepper and salt with a fork.  Place oven safe skillet over medium heat and add butter, once butter starts to bubble, add asparagus and ham and saute for 2-3 min.  Add eggs, stir gently, continue cooking 5-6 min or until eggs are set up on bottom.  Sprinkle parsley on top and place in oven and broil for another 5-6 min, until brown and fluffy.

OR… if you are like me and do not have an oven safe skillet (yet), you can cover the frittata as it is cooking on the stove and pull up the edges every so often letting liquid slide under and cook until the top is set…. fauxttata… 😉 you’re welcome.

Eggs – in a muffin tin..

I like biscuits and English Muffins.  I also like making breakfast sandwiches.  I seen a pin on Pinterest for cooking eggs in a muffin tin to make them round, I WAS going to try and use a mason jar ring on a skillet to see if I could get a round shape, but trying the muffin tin sounded easier.  Here are my eggs in a muffin tin.  Some are scrambled and some are not.  I only ate the not scrambled ones, they were delish!

eggs in a muffin tin

Directions:

real difficult… get your pen and paper.. okay, ready?

Break open egg into greased muffin tin (I used coconut oil).  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-18 min depending on how done you would like your egg, keep in mind the egg will continue to set/cook after you remove it from the oven.  If you want the scrambled ones, scramble the egg up in a bowl first.   Shewwwwie that was rough! 😉

We ate these with sausage, and a homemade honey-butter spread on English Muffins, they made for a delicious, quick and easy breakfast.

Milled Wheat Biscuits – Soaked Grains

milled wheat biscuits soaked grains

I found this recipe that called for soaking your grains and adding apple cider vinegar to the recipe and thought…hmmm, well, maybe..  This is now my new favorite biscuit recipe 🙂

Milled Wheat Biscuits-Soaked Grains

  • 2 1/2 cups milled wheat flour (I milled soft white wheat berries)
  • 6 tablespoons high-quality butter
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt

Put flour in a bowl and cut in the butter until a crumble forms.  Add milk and apple cider vinegar.  Cover with dampened dish towel or cheese cloth and allow to sit overnight to soak your grains.

After the soaking period, add the baking soda, baking powder and seasalt.  Knead these ingredients into the dough, approximately 10-15 kneads.  Roll dough out to just under desired thickness of biscuits.  Cut into biscuits.  You can use a biscuit/cookie cutter for round biscuits, but I just cut mine into squares/rectangles like the girl did from the original recipe and it worked out great.

Bake at 450˚ for 8-10 min or if baking on a stone about 11-13 min.   We ate ours with gravy made from bacon grease and milled wheat.  Well, I also snuck some in with strawberry preserves for a snack 😉

Here is the link to the original recipe I found:

Buttery Whole-Wheat Biscuits. To blow your mind.

  • 1 c Sucanat (Evaporated Cane Juice, you can use sugar or brown sugar if don’t have this)
  • 2 T honey (omit if you use the brown sugar)

Melt butter on low in a large skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and cook on low until desired tenderness.  I cooked mine on super low for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
