Eggs for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner – there are countless recipes that require eggs or where egg is the star. I find anything with a fried egg on top just delicious and it can make a tangle of leftovers shine as a nutritious lunch. This past weekend I decided to play a little with frozen puff pastry, leftover vegetables and an egg. Here is the delicious result.
Egg on Puffpastry with Ham, Cheese, Butternut Squash and Bok-Choy

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • chopped vegetables of choice (I used cubed roasted butternut squash and sautéed baby bok-choy)
  • Shredded cheese
  • Eggs
  • Salt, pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Unroll thawed puff pastry sheet and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Cut into 6 rectangles. In each rectangle, cut four lines to define an edge, in that rectangle pierce the pastry with a fork a few times.
  2. Sprinkle a table spoon or so of grated cheese on each rectangle, mostly keeping the cheese within the border of the cut edge. Add a couple of cubes of squash to each rectangle of pastry and a couple of leaves of bok-choy. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes until pastry is golden and cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. During baking/cooling fry six eggs until whites are well cooked, edges are crispy but yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper. Distribute one egg onto each baked puff pastry square and enjoy.

Notes

Use any vegetable leftovers you have for this. Anything that needs a long cooking time should be cooked ahead, but things like peas, corn or thin shreds of onion could be added raw.

Cheese and Herb Waffles /2014/10/08/cheese-and-herb-waffles/ Wed, 08 Oct 2014 12:43:49 +0000 http://www.audrey74.com/?p=3309 Cheese Waffles Giulia DoyleI didn’t really know anything about savoury waffles. My only experience with waffles growing up where the wonderfully large ones I’d get at French beach side resorts – topped with a heaping pile of whipped cream or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Once I moved to North America I ate them like I eat pancakes, with butter and maple syrup – maybe I’d add a pile of strawberries from time to time. But a couple of months ago I had a craving for savoury waffles – a little salty, a little bit of cheese and naturally an egg on top. It turned out just as I imagined – fluffy, crispy, cheesy with a hint of pepper and a nice runny yolk. At the time I shared it on Instagram and have since been thinking about sharing them here – it only took eight months, but here we are. Amazing cheese and herb waffles for your weekend brunch, lunch or even dinner. Enjoy!

Cheese and Herb Waffles

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Yield: This made 3 large waffles

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup of grated cheese (I used three kinds)
  • 1/2 cup of chopped herbs such as parsley and/or basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk milk and eggs; pour over flour mixture and stir gently to combine. Gently whisk in butter and stir in herbs and grated cheese. Don't over mix Following manufacturer's directions, cook the waffles until deep brown and crisp.
  2. For standard waffle irons, pour 1/2 - 1 cup of batter into the centre of the iron, allowing the batter to spread evenly across the iron. Waffle will cook in about 5 minutes or until steam stops escaping. Make sure waffles are crispy.

Notes

Cooking time and yield really depend of the type of waffle iron you use. Keep them warm in low heat oven by placing them single layer on a cookie sheet.
