[Cook] Tamago Toji Jiru (Stirred Egg Soup)

Tamago Toji Jiru (Stirred Egg Soup) is a very fast and easy dish. In Chinese, we call this "egg flower soup". I made this soup for breakfast. I think it took me 5 minutes, and we had a simple yet delicious soup. The recipe is for 1 bowl of soup. But you can simply double the amount to make soup for 2 as I did (or for 4 or 8 as you like).

[Cook] Frittata with Spinach, Potatoes, and Leeks

The Frittata looked so good when it came out from the oven. I always thought Frittata is hard to make, but it wasn't at all. This vegetarian egg dish tastes very gourmet and healthy. Love it!


Frittata with Spinach, Potatoes, and Leeks
Of all egg dishes, frittatas are the most wine-friendly, thanks to their slightly crusty, slightly caramelized exterior as well as the fact that ratio of egg to filling is low.

1 teaspoon butter
2 cups thinly sliced leek (about 2 large)
1 (10-ounce) package fresh spinach
1/3 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 cups cooked, peeled red potato (about 3/4 pound)
Cooking spray
1 1/2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese

[Cook] Spring Brunch

Instead of going out to eat, I made Eastern brunch at home! I got Wine, Food & Friends by Karen MacNeil at Border's bargain bin for only $5 (original price $25!). The recipes in the book all came from Cooking Light Magazine. Ms. MacNeil basically put the menu together, and suggested wines to pair with the menu.

The Spring Brunch menu includes

* Field Salad with Snow Peas, Grapes, and Feta

* Frittata with Spinach, Potatoes, and Leeks

* Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

* Strawberry-Almond Cream Tart

[Cook] American Style Breakfast

這天早上心血來潮想做做美式早餐，隨便弄弄好像也挺像樣的。 ^^


起司煎蛋 Cheese Omelet

兩顆蛋加入一些牛奶打勻，加入些許鹽和胡椒調味，倒入平底鍋中煎熟，在蛋汁半熟的時候加入起司絲，再把蛋皮捲起來煎一煎就可以囉！
