The EGG-cellent offerings this month...

 And My Offering...
I probably saw a photo of this recipe on Pinterest - or in a magazine. But I didn't tag it or file it anywhere, so I decided to wing it. It's pretty basic...but really flexible. Use whatever cheese and whatever herbs you have on hand.

Ingredients makes 2
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 T grated cheese (I used a mixture of parmesan, asiago, and mozzarella)
  • 2 t chopped herbs (I used a mixture of dill, fennel greens, oregano and basil)

Procedure
Separate eggs, placing the whites together in a small mixing bowl and the yolks in separate small dishes.


Beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in cheese and herbs.


Spoon into 2 mounds on parchment-lined baking sheet. Make a deep well in center of each. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.


Bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Then gently add 1 yolk to each well. Bake until yolks are set, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. My clouds were a little bit "sunburnt"; bake yours for less time if you want fluffy white clouds.


My taste-testers were so intrigued. They gushed, "Why haven't you ever made this before, Mommy?" And they requested, "Can we have it again tomorrow?!?" Who knew this would be such a hit?

      They are soft, like clouds. They didn't get crisp like a meringue would.

    Yum! What an interesting idea. I was thinking you had eggs dropped in biscuits or something, I would have never thought of whipping the whites. They look wonderful! We will have to try this!

      Yes! Savory meringues...you're right. But they never got crisp like a meringue does. Now I'm going to have to play, Stacy.

    These look heavenly. Now I have a weekend breakfast project. Except I can never get "stiff peaks" in my whites...

    I actually thought your clouds were biscuits. Reminded me of a recipe that I've been hearing to try. Love your sunburnt clouds!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
