Herbed Ricotta Omelet - to try

 




1 Tbsp butter

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp cream

1/4 c ricotta 

2 Tbsp parmesan 

1/8 tsp basil

1/8 tsp oregano

Real Salt to taste


In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.


In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and cream.

In a separate small bowl, mix together ricotta, parmesan, basil, and oregano. 

Pour egg mixture into the heated skillet and leave it there to begin cooking through.  I tend to cover mine on and off with a large heat safe dish as need be to be sure it's cooking as well on the top as it is the bottom.

Once the egg is nearly done, salt it to taste and then place the cheese mixture on one side of the egg and fold it over to form the omelette.

Cook for another minute or two.  Serve immediately.

Blueberry Cottage Cheese Mousse *****

 





I really enjoyed this.  I subbed 1 tsp vanilla for the lemon zest.  I used the blender, rather than the food processor.


  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup honey 
  • 1 tsp vanilla



In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, blueberries, honey, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Spoon the mousse into four serving glasses.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Deviled Egg Salad *****

Tried making it with ricotta instead of mayo, which I've done with other egg salad recipes and chicken salad.  I didn't care for it in this recipe; it was better with mayo.




  • 12 hard-boiled pastured eggs
  • 6 slices bacon, crumbled
  • 3/4 cup avocado oil mayonnaise 
  • 1/4 cup diced scallions, green part only
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Romaine lettuce leaves 

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop eggs and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add remaining ingredients; stir to combine.
  3. Top with extra bacon and refrigerate until ready to serve in romaine leaves
