Crispy tortilla with hot pepper, spinach and eggs

By jeff and alli -

 Another recipe based on a Curtis Stone recipe, but with some adjustments.  This was a yummy breakfast and a change from what we normally do.  You can do smaller tortillas and only 1 egg per tortilla per person if someone isn't super hungry.  With my pregnant stomach space, I needed a smaller portion.

Serves 4


Ingredients:

4 10-inch flour tortillas

3 T butter or olive oil

1 small jalapeño, finely chopped

6-8 cups spinach leaves, chopped

salt

8 eggs

1 1/3 cups cheddar cheese, or another kind of cheese (also optional)

hot sauce / salsa

8 slices ham /cooked bacon/ Canadian bacon, optional - my kids like with the meat, me not so much


Directions:

Preheat oven to warm, but not hot.  Cook tortillas 1 at a time, until hot and barely crisp, on a griddle or in a sauce pan.  Set tortillas on baking sheet, if using ham, place that on tortillas, and place in oven to stay warm.  

Melt 1 T of butter in sauce pan, over medium-high heat.  Add the chopped jalapeño and stir to coat with the butter.  Add the the spinach and sauce until it just wilts.  Season with salt and paper to taste.  Spoon spinach mixture on top of tortillas, dividing it equally. Place back in oven to stay warm.

Melt the remaining butter in saute pan.  Fry the eggs, keeping them apart from each other.  When they are cooked to your presence, place on the spinach/tortillas.  Sprinkle cheese on top.  Can broil the cheese if you want it melted.  Transfer tortillas to plates and serve with hot sauce, or salsa.

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside.

Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
