Oh the mighty little egg. Are you good for me or bad for me? I don't know and I don't care. You're delicious and versatile. You will always be welcome in my home. Our egg week consisted of omelettes, Portuguese eggs, deviled eggs with mushrooms and of course poached eggs with hollandaise on toast.
I am of course sorry to say, I completely forgot to take pictures but in my defense, we didn't get to sit down to lunch. We had several plates of goodness eating as dishes were prepared.
I think the favorite dish we made was the Portuguese eggs. Onions and red peppers (or orange and yellow whatever color you have on had) are sauted in some oil for about 20 minutes until fairly soft. Next, you add some spices. We used oregano, basil, paprika and garlic and 2 diced tomatoes with some tomato paste and you can add some jalapeno or chili flakes for heat. You can always use canned tomatoes too. Then we spread the mixture into a glass baking dish and made wells in the peppers and cracked an egg into the wells, topped with cheese and placed it under the broiler until the eggs were cooked and the cheese all melty and browned.
We also made a dutch baby. A dutch baby is a thin pancake topped with fruit. It's very easy to make but you should have a cast iron skillet that you can heat in the oven.
