Cheesy Garlic and Spinach Toast

This french bread is so amazing I actually have dreamt about it. Stop laughing. It's that good. Now, I know the mayo sounds really strange, personally I wasn't sure about it the first time I saw a similar recipe but it somehow helps make a delicious cheesy bread topping. Come on now, have I ever steered you wrong?

2 Tbs butter, melted
1/2 c. mayo
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 tsp tabasco sauce
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
5-7 spinach leaves
Half of a 4 inch piece of french bread

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together butter, hot sauce, mayo, chopped garlic, cheese and spinach.
2. Spread the mixture onto the french bread and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the bread is crispy. Enjoy! :)

Seared Scallops

If you love seafood half as much as I do you'll devour these scallops in a hot second. The best part is how quick it is too make and its pretty healthy.

4 large scallops
2 Tbs butter
3 Tbs white wine
Splash of balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, sliced thin

1. Sear the scallops in butter until browned on both sides, and cooked through. Remove from pan.
2. Add wine, vinegar, and garlic to scallop pan. Simmer, incorporating scallop residue from the bottom of the pan into the sauce. Simmer until garlic is cooked through.
3. Drizzle the wine sauce over the scallops and serve on top of a summer salad, if desired.

Fried Egg Sandwich

Okay, this is absolutely one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. 99% of the time I make this as a midnight snack instead of for breakfast, but it's great anytime of day.

2 slices of french bread
butter
1 egg
spinach
grape tomatoes
mayo
1 slice swiss cheese
balsamic glaze

1. Butter both sides of each piece of french bread and sear in a hot pan until toasted on each side. Remove from pan. Spread one side of each piece with mayo.
2. Crack egg into pan, folding half the egg white over the yolk when the egg is almost cooked. Cook in pan until egg is done to your liking. Flip egg over and put a slice of swiss cheese on the hot egg so it starts to melt. Remove egg from pan and put on one piece of bread.
3. Add spinach and sliced tomatoes to the sandwich, drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with remaining piece of bread. Enjoy!

**Note I recommend eating this sandwich with a sharp knife and fork. It tends to get too messy if you pick it up and eat it, especially if you like your eggs runny.

Eggs Baked in a Bread Bowl

This super easy recipe is great for a quick and delicious breakfast!

All you have to do is take a dinner roll, slice off the top and hollow it out (bowl shape people!). Then crack an egg into your bread bowl, and top with a bit of heavy cream, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese, basil, rosemary and whatever other spices you like. Then bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, adding the bread bowl tops in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking. Top with sliced grape tomatoes if desired. ***NOTE- This recipe makes COMPLETELY baked eggs. I personally prefer my egg yokes to ooze so I bake them for about half the time.

1 dinner roll
1 large egg
1 tsp heavy cream
dash of parmesan cheese
dash of rosemary
dash of basil
sliced grape tomato (if desired)


1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Slice off top of dinner roll and hollow out into a bowl shape, careful not to break the sides.
3. Crack the egg into the bread bowl.
4. Add a tsp of heavy cream on top of the egg and next three ingredients.
5. Place on baking sheet and bake in oven (20-25 mins for completely baked eggs) (10-15 minutes for slightly runny eggs), adding the roll tops to the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.
6. Top with sliced grape tomatoes, if desired, and enjoy!
