Blueberry Cottage Cheese Mousse *****

 The past two times that Nick, and then I, made this, it didn't thicken.  We both followed the instructions the same as we'd done before, so I have no idea what's going on.  

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 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 tsp 100% powdered monk fruit 

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

Spoon the mousse into four serving glasses.

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

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.

• 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

Soft Scrambled Eggs

Reverse Omelet

 1/26/21

Ingredients

• ▢2 eggs
• ▢Sea salt to taste
• ▢2 oz shredded mozzarella or cheese of choice (qty?)
• ▢1 cup sauteed onion, broccoli, or veggies of choice, opt.
• ▢1 oz cooked meat of choice, opt.

Instructions

• Heat skillet on medium heat on the stove. While the skillet is heating crack and beat your eggs in a bowl. 
• Once the skillet is hot sprinkle the bottom with cheese, or lay down a slice of cheese. Pour the eggs into the skillet on top of the cheese. Tilt pan as needed to spread the eggs out. Cover skillet with a lid and allow eggs to cook until they are slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes).
• Remove lid and add fillings to one half of the omelet. Place the lid back on the skillet and allow eggs to finish cooking (about 1-2 minutes).
• When eggs are done cooking remove the lid and run a spatula around the edges of the omelet. Slide the spatula under the omelet to fold it in half or to slide the omelet off the plate. Your reverse omelet can be served folded in half, open-faced, or wrapped to be eaten on the go. Season to taste with sea salt.  Garnish and enjoy!

Seasoning (salt, garlic) to taste

2 cups shredded Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar cheese

Place meat in an 11 x 7" baking dish.  Pour egg mixture over top.  Top with shredded cheese.

Cottage Cheese Chips

 

– light, crispy chips made from baked cottage cheese, perfect for a high-protein, low-carb snack.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup cottage cheese (small curds, drained)

- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¼ teaspoon onion powder

- ½ teaspoon dried herbs (optional, like thyme or parsley)

- Salt and pepper (to taste)

- Olive oil spray (for baking)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.

Drain the cottage cheese well to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (if using), salt, and pepper.

3. Form the Chips:

Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the seasoned cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to form thin rounds.

4. Bake:

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden-brown and crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

5. Cool and Serve:

Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further. Serve these crunchy cottage cheese chips as a snack or alongside your favorite dip!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ground Beef Casserole

 I tried this with ricotta instead of cream cheese and Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar instead of mozzarella.  It was good but nothing special.  I used too much parmesan.  Will try again with cream cheese, mozz, and less parm.

1 lb ground beef

8 oz cream cheese

3 Eggs 

Grated mozzarella

Grated parmesan

Heat a cast iron skillet.  Brown the ground beef.

Stir in cream cheese.

Beat eggs and pour over the ground beef mixture, spreading evenly over the top, so that all of the ground beef is covered.

Top with grated mozzarella and parmesan.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.

Boiled Quail Eggs *****

Very difficult to peel but incredibly creamy and delicious!

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil on high heat. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, turn down the heat and wait for a few seconds until it only bubbles very gently.
• Get your timer ready.  Set it for 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
• Place eggs on a slotted spoon and carefully lower eggs into the gently boiling water. They all need to go into the water at the same time.
• Start the timer immediately.
• Boil them for the allotted time.
• Cool them immediately: Carefully remove them from the water and place them in an ice-water bath so that the cooking process will stop immediately.
