Brisket Omelet

Ingredients

3 large eggs

1/4 cup cooked brisket, shredded

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is set.

Sprinkle the shredded brisket and cheddar cheese over one-half of the omelet.

Use a spatula to fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.

Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked.

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage

½ pound of bacon

6 slices of brioche bread

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

5 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup half-and-half

4 sliced red potatoes

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

TD’s Tips: the key to perfectly cooked bacon is to put it in a skillet (before turning your heat source on) and cook it on LOW and SLOW!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Bake the brioche bread in the oven until brown and toasted.

Slice the red potatoes into thin slices.

Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is browned and cooked. Drain the fat.

Over low-to-medium heat, cook the bacon in a large skillet, drain, and crumble. Put it to the side.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, and cook the sliced potatoes on medium-high heat cover, flipping potatoes occasionally so they don’t stick to the pan. Cook until potatoes are sweating and slightly Al dente. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Line the toasted brioche bread in the dish in one even layer; the next layer is the red potatoes, then sprinkle the cooked sausage and crumbled bacon.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, half and half, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread, potatoes, sausage, and bacon in the baking dish and top with cheese.

Use a spoon to gently press down on the bread and sausage to help it absorb the egg mixture.

Cover with foil (spray the foil with non-stick spray to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil).

Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, then remove the foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

Let the casserole cool briefly before slicing and serving.

Did you know?

While al dente is usually associated with pasta, it can also be applied to other foods, including potatoes. Al dente potatoes refer to potatoes that are cooked to a firm texture without becoming mushy or falling apart.
