We tried this for breakfast: https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a58609/breakfast-tomatoes-recipe/ To create a snug fit, we lined a medium-walled quarter pan with a double-layer of parchment (with edges exceeding the height of the pan edge). We found that baking the eggs at 400 for 17 mins yielded the equivalent of medium-boiled eggs, with a creamy but not runny yolk.… Continue reading Baked eggs in tomato

Chinese sausage omelette with scallions
We followed this recipe, but halved it: https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/chinese-sweet-sausage-omelet-138905 Our modifications: first, we omitted the MSG and salt. We also cut the sausage vertically and then into ½ inch slices on the diagonal. Second, we added 1 Tbsp of milk to the 2-egg mixture. Third, perhaps because we used only 1 sausage (by halving the recipe),… Continue reading Chinese sausage omelette with scallions
Vegetable hash with egg.
We tried this recipe, with some modifications: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014138-vegetable-hash-with-poached-egg. We halved the dish. For the vegetables, we used 1 large shallot (instead of onion), 4 multicolored carrots, 2 celery stalks, and 5 shishito peppers (red and green), for about 2 cups total veggies. We added the diced shishitos a few mins after the heartier vegetables. We… Continue reading Vegetable hash with egg.
Mini-frittata with veggie sausage, mushroom, spinach, and cheese
We loosely followed two recipes: https://cafedelites.com/breakfast-egg-muffins-3-ways/ and https://www.williams-sonoma.com/m/recipe/frittata-sausage-wild-mushrooms-cheddar.html.

Leftover bun French toast
We had 6 leftover hot dog buns, so we felt inspired by this tip: https://www.rudisbakery.com/gluten-free-post/what-to-do-with-leftover-hot-dog-buns. We used our favorite French toast recipe: http://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/155719168961/ciabatta-french-toast-we-tried-this-recipe. Note: Because these were fresh rolls, we spread out each open hot dog bun on a baking rack (placed inside a foil-lined baking sheet) and roasted them in the oven at 300… Continue reading Leftover bun French toast
Avocado toast
We generally followed this recipe: https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/avocado-toast We medium toasted a slice of French country bread (pain de campagne), then spread half of a ripe avocado over the toast. We then sprinkled lightly with salt and pepper. (May 2018)
Apple, leek, and gruyere frittata

Second, we used a large (9-10”) cast iron pan. Third, we added ¾ cup shredded gruyere cheese at two steps: (1) we sprinkled… Continue reading Apple, leek, and gruyere frittata
Broccoli cheddar spinach frittata
Details here: https://cookieandkate.com/2017/broccoli-cheddar-spinach-frittata/ Our modifications: first, we used a shallot in lieu of a small onion, and we cut it into thin slices along the grain. Second, instead of steaming the broccoli in the cast iron pan, we microwave them in a covered glass casserole dish with ¼ cup (not ½ cup) water for about… Continue reading Broccoli cheddar spinach frittata
Oven-roasted breakfast potatoes
We followed this recipe: https://www.tasteslovely.com/perfect-roasted-potatoes/ We used three small-medium Idaho potatoes, and we scrubbed the skin. Our modification: we added a dash (about ½ tsp) each cumin powder and paprika to the cubed potatoes before roasting them. The tips on preheating the baking sheet and using parchment paper were key.
