Cheddar Cheese Chorizo Breakfast Bake

Guess who has her Sundays back? This lady. I am never giving them up again, either. To celebrate, I thought a wonderful brunch would be perfect- mimosas and this Cheddar Cheese Chorizo Bake? Yes, please!

Ingredients:

2 ounces roasted red peppers

1 bunch scallions

1/2 pounds chorizo sausage

4 ounces mascarpone cheese

1/3 cup self-rising flour

2 ounces shredded cheddar-jack cheese

1 1/4 cups milk

1 teaspoon vinegar

4 large eggs

4 tablespoons butter

salt, pepper, neutral oil

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; grease an 8 by 8 baking dish.

Chop the roasted red pepper and slice the scallions. Set aside.

Combine 1/2 cup milk and teaspoon vinegar to make buttermilk; set aside.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, breaking up into smaller pieces, until browned. Stir in peppers and half of the scallions and cook until softened. Place the chorizo mixture into the baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and mascarpone until combined, then stir in 3⁄4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Pour egg mixture evenly over chorizo mixture .

Whisk together the flour and salt. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add to the lukewarm buttermilk. Using a fork, gently stir the wet into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently mix in half of the shredded cheddar .

Using a tablespoon, drop biscuit dough over egg mixture. Top with remaining shredded cheddar and a few grinds of pepper . Bake on upper oven rack until biscuits are golden and cooked through, and egg mixture is set, about 30 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes.

Top cheddar biscuit bake with remaining scallions before serving. Enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive!

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a large saucepan with a generous pinch of salt and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil over high; uncover and cook until tenderDrain potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in reserved saucepan over medium. Add chopped garl...

Deluxe BLT- with avocado, Emmental cheese, and asiago bread

I don't normally feature sandwiches on this blog, but I simply cannot ignore this one. It's too good! The method is dead simple, but perhaps I can include a tip or two you may not have thought of to elevate your BLT to the next level! Ingredients: Bacon, best quality but thinly sliced Tomatoes (ideally fresh from your garden) Romaine lettuce Mayo Emmental cheese Asiago bread salt, pepper, butter Method: In a large sheet pan with a wire rack, lay your bacon out. In a preheated 400 degree F oven, bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Slice your tomatoes and salt and pepper them. The salt is non-negotiable despite the saltiness from the bacon- the salt brings the flavor out of the tomato. Do not skip! Slice avocados. Rip lettuce to desired sizes for bread. Freshly slice bread and butter one side. In a large pan over medium high head, toast the buttered side of each bread slice. Lay a slice of Emmental cheese on one of the bread slices, and allow to melt. Time to con...
