My new job is great. It is not great to home at 630pm (at the earliest) every night and still have to fix dinner. I know I could just not cook but what would I eat for lunch the next day? Cafeteria food is ok sometimes but it’s greasiness and boring flavors get old. I mean, how many slices of pizza and chicken strips can one person eat?!? This meal is quick and good for any of the three meals in busy day.

Ham, Cheddar, and Potato Frittata (from Alaska From Scratch)

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cup russet potatoes, peeled and chopped in small, uniform cubes
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1-1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/3 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a 9 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt butter. Add potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until  tender (mine took about 12 minutes, but it will depend on how small you cut them). Add diced ham to the potatoes and cook another 2 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1 cup of cheese, green onions, salt and pepper. Pour into skillet, give a quick stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Remove lid from pan and top with remaining cheese. Transfer skillet to broiler and broil until eggs are set (no longer jiggling and firm to the touch), cheese is melted, and top begins to only gently brown. Garnish with more green onion. Cut into wedges. Serves 6.

The Lunch of Champions!

What is the Lunch of Champions you ask? Egg Salad on Wheat with Grippo’s BBQ Chips, of course! Nothing better than this (except maybe bologna on wheat with a big, fresh tomato slice and mayo).

My brother raises chickens for laying and does his best to keep me in stock with eggs. It is amazing how much better fresh eggs really are. They taste and look richer. The yolk is thicker, yellower, and tastier. Want proof? Make German chocolate cake icing with fresh eggs and marvel at the distinct difference.

Eggs salad is like potato salad- the more simple, the better.

Egg Salad (For one or two)

  • 2 eggs (large for two, small for one serving)
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 tsp mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Boil the eggs until hard boiled. Remove from heat and immediately cool with cold water. Crack the eggs and remove the shells. Shells remove better when the eggs are less fresh. (Deviled eggs should NEVER be made with fresh eggs). With fork tines, mash the eggs up. Stir in the mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread on wheat bread and enjoy!!!

Italian Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

When I went to Texas about a month ago, I had a sandwich similar to this at Panera Bread. One morning when I was back in KY, I went to Panera and was so disappointed to find it was not on the menu. I had been so looking forward to it. Thankfully, it is an easy sandwich to recreate and I have all the ingredients on hand. Not only is it tasty, it’s also healthy!

Italian Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

  • 1 egg, fried
  • 3 inch piece of Italian bread, sliced horizontally
  • 1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese
  • Handful of spinach
  • 2 tablespoons of basil pesto
  • 1 large piece of roasted red pepper

On each side of the bread, spread the pesto. Layer in this order-bread bottom, cheese, egg, red pepper, spinach, bread top. Enjoy! (Be warned that this is a messy sandwich.)

PS I do plan on posting the rest of the vegetarian recipes. I just got busy 🙂
