Eggs Rosettes

That video was made when I was earlier out. I like to see myself back then: how I thought, how I cooked. I’m a work in progress. I hope you enjoy that glimpse of me way back when (I believe that was filmed in 2010).

Eggs Rosettes
(The recipe pictured makes 6 Egg Rosettes in a medium sized muffin tin – not a standard, but not a mini…I should get on finding the actual name for this tin!)

• 1/4 of a tomato (like the one pictured), seeded and diced
• 1/4 of a small onion, diced
• 1-inch piece of zucchini, diced
• 6 large slices of deli meat (I used low-fat turkey)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp. shredded cheese

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, set it over medium heat and allow it to get hot. Add veggies and cook 1-2 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl and add baking powder directly to the veggies and stir. (Doing it at this stage prevents the powder from clumping. Ad salt and pepper.

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange lunch meat in slots. (TIP: For this size I cut my lunch meat into four pieces and arranged them, overlapping. This doesn’t really help with leakage of the egg – some will leak onto the tin no matter what! – but it does help with the shape.)

Using a tablespoon, fill the meat cups all the way to the top. Bake for about 15 minutes before topping each with a little sprinkle of cheese and baking an additional 5 minutes.

Below you’ll find more shots of this dish. But first, I really do want you to check out The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book. I know breakfast can be difficult after surgery. That’s why I’ve taken the hard part out of it. There are ideas for nearly anything you like: eggs, protein oatmeal, protein baked goodies, quickie breakfasts, make-ahead breakfasts, even breakfasts that don’t feel like breakfast (just in case you aren’t a breakfast food person).

So check the book out, read the reviews! If breakfast has you stumped, I have you covered! Check out the book on hardcopy and Kindle on Amazon

Dear Sunlight: Kindly stop changing directions right after I set up my shot!!!

I’m TRYING to embrace the eye-level shot. I really am. I’m so close…

They really do look like little flowers. That’s what I like about them.
