Eggs in Hash Brown Nests

Gambar
These are the perfect little side dish for Easter Brunch: Tender-but-crispy potato nests with a luscious baked egg in the middle. They go perfectly with ham for a more substantial brunch, or they’re great for a casual breakfast with a piece of bacon. Or two. Or three. Or nineteen. Let the eggs bake for 10-15 minutes, until they get to the level of doneness you’re looking for. I still like to have a little softness to the yolks, and mine baked for probably 12 minutes or so. * Note: Be assured that no matter what, all of your eggs will probably bake a little differently and won’t all look exactly the same on top. Some whites will look perfect, some might look a little funky. Some whites will cover the yolk, some will gloriously reveal the yolk. But that’s the beauty of these things! They’re rustic. INGREDIENTS 6 whole Medium Russet Potatoes (6 To 8) Salt And Pepper, to taste 24 whole Large Eggs Non-stick Cooking Spray INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes until ...

BERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST CROISSANTS

Gambar
Enjoy an easy and most delicious breakfast that is always a crowd pleaser, Berries and Cream Stuffed French Toast Croissants! A perfect Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Day breakfast! EVERYDAY TIPS TO MAKE BERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST CROISSANTS: Bring the low-fat cream cheese to room temperature, makes it easier to blend. Using almond extract brings a different flavor that I prefer, vanilla extract works as well. The cream cheese layer is thin because it packs a lot of flavor. I use bananas and fresh raspberries. Feel free to adjust the fruit to your families taste. When fresh fruit is unavailable, add fresh fruit preserves to the base of the croissant, also delicious. Use your impeccably clean hands to carefully coat the croissants with the egg wash and flip them with the egg mixture to keep the fruit inside. An easy and tasty breakfast filled with a creamy stuffing from bananas, raspberries and cream cheese! A perfect breakfast for special mornings like Christmas, New...

And those chiles help to rev up our metabolism… plenty of health benefits to chili peppers. Score and score. All the nachos please! *You can use any of your favorite varieties of melting cheese. I sometimes use fontina, pepper jack or mozzarella.

Chicken cooked in olive oil, with garlic, paprika, chili powder, and Italian seasoning, then combined with bacon, Ranch dressing and pasta makes a winning combination!

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Gambar
This easy Instant Pot Spaghetti is one of the best ways to start using in your Instant Pot! You know that pressure cooker you’ve had sitting in your pantry for 6 months but you’ve been nervous to try? This isn’t the made from scratch marinara or bolognese spaghetti but no one will care because it’s so delicious! The past few years one of my go-to spaghetti sauces is Classico’s Four Cheese but you can swap that for your personal favorite. I do however think they don’t add enough basil and garlic to any jar of spaghetti sauce I’ve tried so I always add more. If you don’t want to pay for the fresh basil then just add some dried basil, maybe 1 tsp. And finish it off with lots of parmesan. And more basil. Because you can never have too much basil on your spaghetti. Super easy and super fast classic spaghetti with meat sauce. A great way to use your Instant Pot and clean up is a breeze! It may just become a family favorite! Ingredients 1 tsp olive oil 1 lb. 92% - 96% lean ground beef 2 clove...

This cheeseburger meatloaf is a twist on the classic recipe with the addition of bacon and cheddar cheese for a savory delight that’s probably better than what your mom used to make.
