We added 1 Tbsp chopped scallions into the egg and pinto bean mixture before scrambling them. For the quesadilla, we used shredded Mexican cheese and added a layer of fresh Spinach leaves.

Crispy rice frittata
We tried this recipe for our leftover jasmine rice: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/crispy-rice-frittata Our modifications: first, we added a handful of baby spinach (about 15 leaves), cut into ½" slices. We sauteed the spinach along with the scallions, but the next time we’ll probably sprinkle them into the egg mixture. We also used canola instead of olive oil… Continue reading Crispy rice frittata
Spinach and garlic egg white omelette
We tossed this together on the fly. First, heat a medium-sized (7 inch) nonstick pan and lightly spray with oil. Add 1 minced garlic clove and a handful of julienned fresh baby spinach (about 10 baby spinach leaves), and saute lightly for a minute. Spread the spinach mixture evenly along the pan, then lower heat… Continue reading Spinach and garlic egg white omelette
Pan-seared parmesan rice cakes
We had 3 cups of leftover cooked rice (a mix of jasmine and basmati), and we tried this recipe: https://anoregoncottage.com/parmesan-rice-cakes/ We found 4 (not 3) large eggs achieved the right batter texture. For the parmesan, we used slightly over ½ cup (not quite 2/3 cups) Kraft shredded parmesan (which we prefer to the crumbled kind)… Continue reading Pan-seared parmesan rice cakes
French-inspired hard-boiled egg sandwich
During this pandemic, I felt inspired by a French baguette sandwich I had in Bordeaux many years ago. Based on our pandemic pantry, we used ¼ baguette (halved lengthwise), mayo (enough for a light spread on both sides of the baguette), 2 hardboiled eggs, ½ tomato (three ½" slices), and 1 Tbsp minced parsley. Here… Continue reading French-inspired hard-boiled egg sandwich
Baked rice pudding with brulee topping

Scrambled egg, bacon, and avocado breakfast sandwich
This sandwich is simple to assemble as long as you have the components: first, prepare 6 bacon slices (we used microwave-ready precooked bacon) and set aside. Second, prepare scrambled eggs (we used 3 eggs and 2 egg whites mixed with 2 tsp half and half or milk). For scrambled egg technique, we loosely followed the… Continue reading Scrambled egg, bacon, and avocado breakfast sandwich
Roasted vegetable, rice, and cheese frittata
We made a version of frittata based on our pantry: leeks, asparagus, bell pepper, and mushrooms. First, preheat the oven to 425. Take out two rimmed baking sheets. Wash and dry 6 asparagus spears, ½ bell pepper (we prefer any color but green), and 8 oz (about 8-9) cremini mushrooms. Cut the asparagus into 1.5-2"… Continue reading Roasted vegetable, rice, and cheese frittata
Persian spiced omelette with caramelized dates
This is a warm and comforting breakfast that reminded us of sweet matzoh brie and French toast.

Place the halved dates… Continue reading Persian spiced omelette with caramelized dates
