With Mother’s Day approaching this Sunday, a culinary thank you to go with a bouquet of spring flowers is always a wonderful idea. Try one of these great brunch entrees:
Prepare an omelet using your mother’s (or the mother of you children’s) favorite seafood. Mix three eggs, some chopped scallions and a splash of cream with cooked crab, shrimp, scallops, or smoked salmon. Add a little shredded Monterey jack cheese to the center when folding it in half.
Serve this steak with a side of fresh fruit and yogurt.
For two:
2, 6oz. New York Strip Steaks
2oz English Stilton Bleu Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F. On top of the stove, spray a non-stick skillet lightly with olive oil and heat to medium heat. Flash fry steaks for 2 minutes per side. Put steaks on a baking pan, top each with one ounce of the Stilton Cheese and place in oven for about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
For four:
8 eggs
6oz salmon, cooked & flaked, no bones
1 cup shredded potato, blanched
1 cup shredded white cheddar
2 small shallots, chopped
Oil for pan
Crack eggs into a mixing bowl; combine all remaining ingredients reserving ½ of the cheddar. Pour into a round, well oiled baking dish. Pour egg mixture into dish and float remaining cheese on top. Place in a 375° oven for about 20 minutes, until middle is firm. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting into pie-like slices. Top with sour cream or salsa if desired.
GOOD COOKING!
