Ham & Cheese Omelet: Breakfast Is Served

Hi everybody :)

"Welcome to another Breakfast Is Served Sunday!" If you're just tuning in to my post, every Sunday I try to post a Breakfast Is Served, but since my daughter's injury my postings are limited. Jumbo Sour Cream Cinnamon Buns were last breakfast post.

Today's post is about eggs, I'm making an omelet. Omelets are very simple to make and easy to customize to your taste. The most important thing to have when making omelets is a good nonstick pan. The recipe I'm sharing today is just a simple basic omelet and one of my favorites. It's time to crack some eggs and get it started...

Ham & Cheese Omelet

2 - 3 eggs

1/4 cup diced ham

1/4 cup shredded cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Butter or Oil

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; stir in the ham, cheese, salt and pepper.

Butter the pan add the egg mixture,

cook over medium heat, tilting the pan and lifting the edges of the omelet to cook the remaining mixture, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Fold onto plate to served.

ENJOY! Come again...

Cheesy Ham & Tots Casserole: Breakfast Is Served

Hi everybody :)
"Welcome to another Breakfast Is Served Sunday!" If you're just tuning in to my post, every Sunday I try to post a Breakfast Is Served. Cappuccino Muffins were the last post. Today is the first breakfast post for the month of March. To kick it off to a great start introducing Cheesy Ham & Tots Casserole. The original recipe used hash brown but I figured tater tots would be fine; so here's what I did...

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole
1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes (I used Onion Tater Tots; cut into pieces)
8 ounces cooked, diced ham
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of potato soup
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (I used Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese)
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese (I omitted this)
(1 tbsp. sweet red pepper)
(1 tbsp. chives, divided 1 tsp. into the casserole & 2 tsp. sprinkled over top)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, mix hash browns, ham, cream of potato soup, sour cream, and Cheddar cheese.

Spread evenly into prepared dish.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. (Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese)

Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly brown.

Serve immediately.

What I Did and/or Think:

Since I'm home alone I only did a small serving of this recipe; baking it in a small casserole dish for 25 minutes. The other changes are in Bold, Italic, & Purple.

The Taste: The casserole had a great blend of flavors and was delicious. Definitely an A.G.R. (Another Great REPEAT).
I think this would make a great lunch or dinner meal also.

ENJOY! Come again...

Caramelized Onions Cheese & Chive Sourdough Biscuits

Hi everybody :)

I'm been missing posting these pass couple of days because I've have these back pains, and the pain medication makes me drowsy. I hate been unable to do anything :( I'm feeling a little better now, so on with my post.

I been working on my sourdough experiments, whenever I was not laying down because of the pain. This recipe idea came from a King Arthur magazine. They had a picture of these caramelized onion sourdough biscuit using their starter mixture. When I saw the Golden Sourdough Biscuit recipe in TOH, I adjusted it to make these biscuits.

Caramelized Onions Cheese & Chive Sourdough Biscuits

Golden Sourdough Biscuits adapted The Taste of Home Baking Book
Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup Sourdough Starter (at room temperature) Sourdough Starter - Taste of Home
Additional butter, melted

Additional Ingredients
1 Onion, small; sliced thinly about 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons Chives
1/3 cup Cheddar Cheese

In a small saucepan, place butter, brown sugar, and onion over medium heat. Stirring until butter melt and sugar dissolved, reduce heat to low.

Cook for about 20 minutes, covered until onions are golden brown. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the additional ingredients with the caramelized onions.

Combine Sourdough Starter and buttermilk; stir into crumb mixture with a fork.

Turn onto a well-floured surface; knead 10-12 times. Roll to 1/2-in. thickness.

Cut with a floured 2 1/2-in biscuits cutter. Place 2 in apart on a grease baking sheet.

Bake at 425° for 12 to 15 minutes or golden brown. Yield: about 1 dozen. Brush tops with melted butter. Remove from pan, cool on wire rack.

What I Did and/or Think:

The changes I made are in Bold, Italic and Purple.
The Taste: I love the savory flavor of the biscuit. The caramelized onions added a little sweetness, the cheese and chives blended well together. They smelled delicious while cooking too, which is always a plus :).

I thought the biscuit would be perfect with sliced ham, so I made ham sandwiches, using deli ham, cheddar cheese, and honey mustard. DELICIOUS! REPEAT!

ENJOY! Come again...

Red Potatoes, Green Beans, & Ham: Home Cooking Favorites

Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Ham

Hi everybody :)

If I was asked what's was one of my favorite comfort foods, this recipe would most definitely be among the top ten. It's an old childhood favorite. When I was little, my mom would make this and sometimes she would put a cheese sauce or slice cheese over the top to make it extra special.

Although I'm cooking this in my Super Pot, it can be done over the stove top too. A great dinner in under 30 minutes, try it, it may become one of your favorites also :)

Here is how it's done...

Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Ham

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. red potatoes, washed & diced ( about 5 medium potatoes)
1 lb frozen green beans
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chicken stock or water
Butter to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Prepared Cheese Sauce or slice cheese, optional (I used Kraft Cheez Wiz)

In saucepan, (I used my Super Pot) heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until garlic is tender but not brown.
