Baked Mexican Omelet - Brunch


My husband was describing what he wanted for lunch and it sounded good.  Basically, it was potatoes, eggs and cheese.  I started on my merry way, frying the potatoes and realized it was going to take too long so I poured out the potatoes and oil into a baking dish and put it, into the microwave and that changed everything.  I ended up baking this in the oven with Mexican spices and a Mexican cheese blend and voila, I had lunch as asked but different.

 Baked Mexican Omelet

 Ingredients:

2 - 3 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced in two directions so you have what looks like French Fries.)
2 teaspoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon Mexican chili (spice)
1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend
5 Egg Beaters

 Method:

 Heat oil in large skillet and put potato pieces in skillet.  Cook until lightly browned and cooked through OR take them out partially cooked, place in a greased baking pan,  and microwave for 2 -3 minutes until cooked through.

 Remove from microwave and add spices.  Pour eggs over potatoes and then top with cheese blend.

 Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until browned slightly, on top.

 Of course, you can place potatoes and other ingredients right into greased baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes.  I would have done this if I had not started making a different recipe.  The bonus, I got was the extra flavor from a little frying but health-wise, I would skip the frying.

    We did a Mexican-inspired dinner tonight too. Sometimes it's such an easy fix.

    Sounds very good to me :)
    I'm not sure I know what Mexican cheese is but I guess it's a sharp cheese

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
