Omega asked for recipes that used lots of eggs, because apparently she has a shitload. Here they are. Also, post your recipes for tasty shit.

 

Grammy's Fancy Egg Scramble

1 cup diced ham

3 TBSP butter/margarine

1/4 cup chopped onion

12 eggs

 

Cook ham and onion in butter until onion is tender. Add 12 eggs, beaten, and scramble until just set.

 

Make the cheese sauce [essentially a white sauce with cheese in]:

2 TBSP butter

2 TBSP flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 cups milk

1 cup grated cheese (we use cheddar)

 

Melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour. Stir in milk until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheese until fully melted. Season with salt & pepper.

 

You will also need:

one 3 oz can of mushrooms,

4 tsp butter/margarine, and

2 1/4 cups soft bread crumbs

 

Fold together egg mixture, mushrooms, and cheese sauce into a 9 in by 13 in pan. 

 

Mix together melted butter and bread crumbs; sprinkle over egg mixture.

 

Chill 30 minutes.

 

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 - 60 minutes.

 

Serves a holy fuckload.

Basic omelet

 

Eggs

Butter

Cheese

Cubed ham

 

Butter a small skillet and put over medium heat.

 

Crack eggs into a bowl and beat until uniform color or your pan is ready.

 

Pour eggs into skillet, cook until just set. Add cheese, ham, or whatever the hell you think would taste good.

1/2 cup water

2 1/2 tsp sugar

Combine everything in a blender and pulse for 10 seconds, or whisk until blended.

 

Refrigerate 1 hour.

Motherfuckin Kringles

 

1 pound butter

10 TBSP sour cream

1 pound flour (about 4 cups)

3 egg yolks

sugar as needed

 

Work flour and butter together with hands. Add sour cream and mix well. Chill for several hours (up to about three days).

 

Divide dough into thirds. Roll thin -- about 1/8 inch. Spread with egg yolk and sprinkle generously with sugar.

 

Cut into 1/3-inch-wide strips about a foot long. Form into loops, pretzel style. 

 

Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in 350 degree F oven for 10 - 12 minutes until slightly pinkish -- they should not be browned.

 

Better when allowed to age, but good luck keeping people off of them.

 

Makes about a billion goddamn cookies. More than a hundred if you pretzel-fy them, fewer if you cut them into shapes or whatever.

Now tell me how to make some tasty food!

[Omega]

Oooh, fun.

So... best brownie recipe EVAR -

320g butter, melted

1 1/4 cups cocoa

7 eggs

3 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 1/2 - 2 cups chocolate chips/drops (dark is best)

1 1/4 cups plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 160C.
2. Line a large baking tin/roasting dish (I use a 24x34cm rectangle dish)
3. Melt the butter in a large bowl (there's lots of ingredients to fit in here) in the microwave, or in a large saucepan on the stove.
4. Using an electric mixer, beat cocoa into melted butter.
5. Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and whiz with electric mixer for 3-4 mins until the mixture begins to whip up in volume (about double).
6. Using a wooden spoon/rubber spatula, mix in the chocolate chips/drops.
7. Sift flour and baking powder in; stir until fully combined.
8. Pour into lined baking tin; give it a gentle shake to even out the mixture.
9. Bake in oven at 160C for about 1 hour, until an inserted skewer comes clean.
10. Leave to cool in tin for about 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool further.
11. If you want to make them look extra fancy, sift icing sugar over the top.

Makes a holy fuckload.

Homemade museli

Couple of tablespoons of honey, and a decent sized slug of good quality oil. We use grapeseed, but ricebran, olive etc will do.

Few cups of oats (whole, not the oatmeal/porridge ones)

Tasty shit.

Nuke the honey/oil mix in a big bowl until warm and it mixes. Chuck in the oats. Mix up. Nuke in two minute intervals, mixing in between, until the oats smell nutty, and it tastes cooked/not floury.

Add in the tasty shit. This can be raisins/sultanas, dried cranberries, apricots, other fruit. bran, various seeds (pumpkin and sesame are nice), and i have a weakness for chopped honey roasted peanuts.

Mix it all up, and leave to cool. Store in an airtight place. Usually it'll disappear before it's best-before.

Also, if you're feeling like museli bars, you can chuck in some butter and brown sugar, press it into a tin, and bake it until golden.
