Potato Salad

I haven't made potato salad in years. This will make for a wonderful side to our Memorial Day picnic!

Mix and chill:

8 Russett potatoes, diced small and boiled for 15 minutes
5 green onions, chopped
2 heaping Tablespoons dill relish (or chop pickles)
1, 1/2 cup mayo
4 T mustard
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
dill (to taste)

Mini Frittatas

Mix:

4 eggs
1/4 c half and half
1/4 tsp salt
any mix in you want (cheese, green onion, ham, shredded potato, peppers)

Spray mini muffin pan. Bake at 375 for 18 minutes.

Huevos Rancheros

This is my new favorite way to eat eggs. The kids love it, too!

In a skillet heat 1 T oil and Heat a corn tortilla for a few seconds on each side. Then place tortillas in oven on 200 degrees to keep warm.

In the same skillet add a little more oil and crack 6-8 eggs. I like to take the skillet off the heat when I add the eggs so I don't get oil on me. Then turn the heat down to low and put a lid on top for even cooking. It only takes a couple minutes.

Serve your egg over the toasted corn tortilla with hot salsa and feta cheese. Top with cilantro!

English Muffin Breakfast

This is more of an idea than a recipe. If you are still eating left over ham from Easter like I am, then you will appreciate the idea.

I pulled out my griddle and cooked an egg well-done while the english muffin sat next to the eggs on the buttered grill. Put a slice of cheese on the cooking egg to melt.I like using Wonder Bread brand of muffins. The no name brands were too dry. Lay your sliced ham on the grill for a second to heat up.

Put together your sandwich and enjoy!

Spinach Quiche

This makes a wonderful breakfast for special occassions. It also makes a special dinner. I absolutely love it. My tip is to use real mozzarella. Don't use the pre-shredded. The pre-shredded cheese has a somewhat waxy coating. I like to buy a real quality ball of mozzarella and shred it by hand. I also use baby spinach. I'll cut off the little stems and then using a big bucher knife slice a big pile of spinach into strips. This is a good recipe to use up left over Easter Ham. I also like using my own pie crust recipe. You could use a store boughten recipe if you want to cut on time (and taste). One more tip, don't think you have to pour the entire mixture into the pie shell. You want it to be full but not so full you can't manage to put the pie into the oven whithout spilling.

In a saute pan cook for about 5 minutes:

1/2 cup onion
3 T butter

In a large bowl whisk:

8 eggs

Add to the eggs:

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups chopped spinach
1 cup mozzarella
1, 1/2 cup chopped ham

Add your sauteed onions.

Now pour the mixture into a cooked pastry shell. Carefully place the uncooked quiche into the hot oven. Bake at 325 for 65-75 minutes. Check for doneness with a knife. Let sit at room temp for 10 minutes to set. The quiche should have a rounded puffy shape to the top.
