Egg Ideas

[Shasha]

{hi} there Everyone

This thread is specifically devoted to recipe's containing EGG Ideas ~ please feel welcome to share all your Egg-Ó-licious IDEAS with us ~ ERF’s UP Everyone:


SPINACH FRITTATA - a new idea for INGER {bighug}

Fresh chopped spinach (most of veg allowance)
Mushroom (small part of allowance)
Red onion (small part of allowance)
1 Egg (allowance)
1 cracker bread- crushed
Salt, pepper + herbs

Method: :dance:
Chop spinach, microwave for 1 minute, squeeze out excess liquid, put both spinach and liquid in a bowl with egg, crushed cracker bread, chopped mushroom and onion. Season with salt and pepper and/or dried herbs (optional)

Mix well. Place in a hot frying pan and with a bit of curry powder to add a bit of zing. (ZING: ... Mrs Peel will like that!) :flirt:
Cook until browned and flip to cook the other side. Serve hot or cold.
As a alternative you can not add the crushed cracker bread and slice the frittata to eat on whole cracker breads.

SANDWICH BAG OMELETE {rofl}

Put a large pot of water on to boil. Pot must be larger than a zip lock sandwich bag.

Put an egg into a small sandwich bag. Add veggies that you like from your veggie allowance to the bag.
I used tomato, onion, baby marrow and green pepper or onion and mushroom. Add any dried herbs and spices that you would like. Seal bag, getting any air out. Lightly crush bag to mix all of the ingredients together.

Squeeze out any remaining air, reseal, and place in pot of bubbling water. Leave bag in the bubbling water for 13 minutes. After 13 minutes you have a light and fluffy omelette with very little mess. It really does work!!

You can be creative with what you put in to it.

You can use this method to amaze your guests next time you have a large family gathering... everyone's omelet will be ready at the same time!!!

Spray and cook
Herbs and seasoning to taste

Method:
Chop veggies into cubes and season to taste. Microwave until tender but not soggy. Spray small ovenproof dish or muffin pan with Spray n Cook. Add cooked veggies.

You could also make this in the microwave oven. Leave to cool and turn out.

Mini Quiche

Veggie allowance any combination of your favorites, finely chopped:

mushroom
green pepper
green onion
tomato
asparagus

1 egg
1 tsp water
2 saltines finely crushed
salt & pepper
seasonings to taste

mix veggies, cracker crumbs, & seasonings, add egg and whisk together. Pour into mini muffin tin, fill each about 1/2 full. Bake at 375 degrees until firm. Makes about 12 pieces, tastes good hot or cold. If you make them ahead of time, they're easy to grab and go, and they hold over well in the fridge.

Sorry if I've duplicated anyone's recipe - I used to make something similar but with non-cohen ingredients, so I've been experimenting. Haven't seen one quite like this on the boards...

[Shasha]

{hi} there Iisrias

:clapping3: WHAT A WONDERFUL RECIPE!!! {cheerleader} Thank you!!!

TIP: Always remember to weigh your portions raw and to keep the right portions together for the right days as you make them :hungry:

Now, I realize that there will be some of you who don't know what Poke Salad is. This is considered a Southern delicacy. Basically, it is a green that grows wild (and mainly in cow pastures, etc.). It gets its name (Pokeweed) because you pick it and poke it into a paper sack to carry home and cook. It is actually a poisonous plant, and you must know how to prepare it correctly to get rid of the poison in order to eat it. But anyway, I love my Mom's poke salad, and this is a Cohen friendly version of it. I have it for breakfast sometimes.

Faux "Poke Salad"

Ingredients:
Frozen spinach (allowance) (this would be the faux "Poke Salad")
1 medium egg
Salt
Pepper

Instructions:
Spray a non-stick pan with Olive Oil or Butter Spray. Place defrosted spinach in the pan and warm slightly. Beat the egg and pour into the pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the egg is well done. Enjoy!!!

[lfulwood]

I learned a tip from Rachel Ray about poaching eggs. Pour a little vinegar into the boiling water before putting your egg in and that helps the white to coagulate and not feather everywhere in the water! It does not flavor the egg in any way!

Bon apetit!

[The Perfect Weight]

I take my hardboiled egg and dice it up, add some dill, pepper or any other seasoning you like, I've also added some chopped cucumbers to add some crunch. Then I take the mixture and put it in bib lettuce and wrap it up. It makes for a delicious egg salad lettuce wrap.

Don't know if you'll like any of those but it's worth the share....they could become your new favorites.

Hi, I'm new to the board and just had to share with you a picture. My two sisters and I have been on 1pd since June. My birthday was in August and one of my sisters created this hard boiled egg birthday cake for me. I thought it was funny :laughing: and wanted to share! She said the first one the egg was still too hot when she added the candle and it melted, so she had to start over.

[LiLNightShift]

Haha, that's so cute! What a great sis!

[PhyllisRis]

Welcome PW!! What a great b'day cake!! The yolk's on you!!
Happy Belated Birthday....

Hey everyone. I made an omelette for dh and I the other morning and it was very close to the real thing. He had the idea to use two eggs, double veggie allowance and cut it in half. I used water for fluff instead of milk. Whipped it up, used cooking spray. added muchroom and spinach allowance--slightly precooked in a separate pan--and voila. It was a really good omelette. bon appetite!

[PhyllisRis]

Mei.....great idea....thanks for sharing. I'm so happy you're still around!!!!

Hi Everyone

Has anyone tried these Muffins - just made some and are delicious - will be great for breakfast on the run or a quick meal. Make a bulk batch and put in the freezer for when you are in a hurry.

Muffins

Stew 1 Apple in a little Sprite Zero, mush, grate Zucchini (allowance)
Beat 1 egg and add apple and zucchini and 1 cracker crushed (I use Cruskits for this)
Mix together and place even amounts into Muffin tins - I lined with papers. Cook in moderate oven for approx 20 minutes. Remember you have used 1 fruit allowance with this recipe.

Enjoy

[PhyllisRis]

what temperature is "moderate"??

[marilyn]

Sorry Phyllis - I am a Kiwi and one of those cooks who doesn't always weigh things.
We consider moderate 150-170 centigrade or 350 farenheight (oops spelling) Give them a try - I had them for breakfast this morning and I wasn't hungry until lunch time.

[PhyllisRis]

I am going to try these tomorrow morning...I may add some cinnamon to the mix.
Thanks for the recipe....
Phyllis

[jamjordie]

My diet says nothing about rice cakes. Can everyone have them? or just certain people.

[sdp126]

Not sure if anyone else has posted a recipe for this, but I tried again this morning and achieved success.

1 hard boiled egg
1/8 tsp white vinegar
1/8 tsp - 1/4 tsp dried mustard
1 tsp light mayo
1/2 packet of stevia (or splenda)

Mash the egg yolk and mix with other ingredients. Divide mixture and fill egg whites.

If you love deviled eggs, this is a quick breakfast treat!

I really love the zucchini hash browns! Right now I'm loving them with sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and herbs de provence (not quite sure what's in that, but you can buy it as a spice blend at the grocery store). However, I have a question. When you grate the zucchini, it's really watery. Is it ok to squeeze out the water BEFORE you weigh it for your portion? Or do you have to do that after you weigh it?

Thanks,

Diana

[PhyllisRis]

DEFINITELY squeeze out the water before you weigh it!!!! I buy the smallest diameter zucchini that I can find and they contain far less water than the bigger ones. I really love the zucchini pancakes, too and have them every morning for breakfast!!! YUMMY

[Rose Marie]

Hi,
I am in my tenth week and trying to keep things interesting and on plan so this morning I added a little bit of roasted garlic to my zucchini pancakes. It was very good and a little different! :)

Rice Cakes are allowed as a cracker. I get the plain without salt and the brand I get says only brown rice as an ingredient. They weigh about 9 - 10 g. for one.

[hamms]

Hi everyone! I just finished my second day and I have a question...On my program sheet it says I can have cheese (not feta) once a day, but doesn't say "allowance". The reason I ask is my fave breakfast is to spray a mug with cooking spray & add an egg and a wedge of low-fat laughing cow cheese (cut into small pieces) and microwave for a minute, stir, microwave for 40 seconds more. Is this allowed? Thanks so much!

[sara7]

hi there!

unfortunately, i don't think it's allowed. :( at least in my version i can only choose cheese & veggies OR egg and veggies. i don't think you can combine the egg and cheese.

but, i've only been on this thing for 3 weeks... others might know better.

it DOES sound delish, though!

good luck!!!

[Dayanira]

Hi Hamms,
Welcome to 1PD and to the forum!
Sorry, you can't mix 2 different kinds of protein until you get to Refeed. But I think that you can mix the cheese (with the exeption of Feta). For example, you can mix ricotta with mozzarella, if in your diet says 60g of cheese and 90g vegetables, you can have 30g of ricotta and 30g of mozzarella. But you can't mix Feta with the other cheese.

[hamms]

Thanks for your answers! I guess I'll have to wait:sadeyes:
But, it is delicious-and pretty healthy too!

[daizygirl]

Hello,
Your receipe sounds yummy, but you wouldn't be able to add the cheese to your egg would you? Say you are doing egg with veggies like green peppers or mushrooms or zucchini, that might be okay, but the cheese, I don't believe.:party1:

[fuzyiq]

Here is one of our favorite breakfast omelets:drool:, it takes a bit to get a hang of it (no butter and only one egg) and i don't know how to explain the timing...so keep an eye on it and it'll be fine... still it's a nice one to switch up the breakfast from the old hard boiled egg.

Ingredients:
1 egg
3 tps of water
Fresh chopped spinach (most of veg allowance)

Mushroom (small part of allowance, optional)

1/4 teaspoon of fresh minced chives
Several leaves of fresh basil
Salt to taste


Method:
Place egg white and water in (i use a small bullet) small blender whip till frothy-thick.
fold in yolk and pour into hot pan and add all ingredients on top and cover on low heat
When spinach turns bright green, fold in half and finish cooking uncovered on med-high heat.

Throw a sprig of parsley on top and Bon Appétit :party1:

Hmmm, I just was thinking of trying a variation of this in a small Pyrex pan and baking it maybe with cracker crumbs.
just a thought...

Devilled Eggs
4 Eggs
4 tsp mayonnaise
Onions (80g)
Scallions (80g)
Mushrooms (rest of allowance for 4 portions)

Boil the eggs. Peel off the shell, half them lengthwise, scoop out the yolks, and toss them in a bowl. Mash them with a fork. Finely dice the onions and scallions (as finely as you can get them!), and finely chop the mushrooms. Lightly sautee the mushrooms so they're a bit more tender. Mix the vegetables, mayonnaise, and mashed egg yolks until it's a relatively homogeneous mixture. Stuff the egg whites with even portions of the mixture. 2 deviled egg halves is one egg + veg meal, so this makes 4 meals.
