Japanese Egg Salad

March 21, 2023 Amanda Plott

It doesn’t get any more simple than this right here. This Japanese Egg Salad is made with just 4-5 ingredients and takes hardly any time at all to make and the end result is creamy, light, and delicious! So what makes this egg salad Japanese? The secret is in the mayonnaise! This egg salad uses kewpie, which is the Japanese version of mayonnaise. But, don’t worry! You can find it at most grocery stores.

American mayonnaise is made with whole eggs and white vinegar. Kewpie is made with egg yolks and rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Kewpie eggs up being sweeter and has less tang. It’s also a lot richer and creamer too!…

Skinny Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole

February 12, 2022 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is served! This Skinny Instant Pot Breakfast Casserole is quick and easy to make with no usual overnight sitting required. Plus, it’s low carb and keto friendly. Did I mention that it’s loaded with plenty of bacon and cheese too? Yep! This casserole is definitely a new breakfast favorite. From what I made this morning, I’ll have plenty leftover for a few more breakfast for myself this week!

I even managed to sneak in some veggies by way of peppers and onions. It’s good stuff I tell you. For this particular breakfast casserole, I went with a standard maple bacon, but really any bacon would work. I also went with a mix of low fat cheddar and a Carolina reaper cheddar to give some pep to this breakfast…

Ham & Cheese Omelette

December 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we had ham as part of our Christmas dinner and I managed to keep some on reserve for leftover breakfast this morning. This Ham & Cheese Omelette is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham. I based this omelette off of a few others that I’ve made in the past that packs an omelette up with as much protein as possible.

I like to sub in egg whites for part of the egg in any omelette. But, I try to keep at least one yolk in there for some color and flavor. Other than that, I love to put cottage cheese in my omelettes because it gives a bit of a boost to the protein and also bonus melty cheese goodness…

Jalapeno Popper Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

November 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while since I made some faux sous vide egg bites in the pressure cooker, so I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to make some! Being as I have made so many different kinds before, I thought I’d really step outside the box to make some spicy jalapeño popper egg bites this time instead. After all, there’s nothing like a little spice to kick off your day.

These egg bites aren’t your petite little dainty ones like you buy at that popular coffee chain either. No, no. These are bigger and better. One of them is about the size of two of the ones you can buy. So one batch will be enough for breakfast all week…

Instant Pot Poached Eggs

July 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!

Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.

These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…

Spring Vegetable Crustless Quiche

April 29, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve made a lot of crustless quiches in the past, and with Spring in full swing, I decided to make one that used up the bounty of veggies that Spring offers up such as spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus. Unlike some of my other quiches, I wanted this one to be the absolute start of the plate. So, I stuffed it full of veggie goodness, used more eggs, less milk, and ended up with a low calorie, high flavor dish that was perfectly suited to Spring.

I think one of my favorite things about quiche has to be that it can literally be enjoyed as a meal at any time of day; breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… any and all! When enjoying with breakfast or as brunch, I serve it with fresh fruit. But if it’s al lunch or dinner option, I dress it up with a soup and/or salad!…
