Weekend Breakfast Blogging #14

I'm proud to be hosting the Weekend Blogging Event #14, created by Nandita over at the Saffron Trail blog.  This has been one of my favorite events since I started blogging.  I have a friend, Jean, who says one of the nicest things about staying at a friend's house is having someone cook breakfast for you.  I totally agree.  Sometimes we glide over breakfast but it's the best meal of the day.

Our breakfast theme for the August is Ethnic Dishes with a Twist. The twist is to make a dish from a culture, country, or ethnicity other than your own.  I see recipes all the time that I've heard of but never tasted and I think this month is a good time to take a little walk out to the edge and try something new.

The deadline will be Monday, August 27th 10pm central time and I'll post the round up on Tuesday, August 28th.

To participate, please send me:

Sounds wonderful! Looks like all of us are going to dig into some recipe books / websites and come up with ethnic breakfasts!

[Jyothi]

great event. Breakfast, everyday, this is must. Have to think and participate. Now only getting so many ideas...Thanks for hosting and surely will participate.

[Suganya]

Wonderful theme. Ideas are popping all over my head!

[Roopa(KitchenAromas)]

This one promises to be a lot of fun!

[Lakshmi]

Loved the theme. With the theme it would be wonderful to try something new from other countries for breakfast. Will come back with my entry.

[Raaga]

Hmmm... this sure sounds like fun. I totally believe that breakfast is THE meal of the day. Rush through anything else, but don't skip this one.

I will research and find something that I can make for this.

See you soon.

i love breakfast food any time of day. so i may just have to make this my first blogging event to take part in! plus, it will be a challenge (and i love a challenge) since i grew up with super-traditional, all-american type breakfast food. i have NO idea what to make but i'll have fun finding something.

but here's a question: can i do something from the countries of my ancestors? i think it would be cool to find something some of my norwegian, german or polish forebearers might have eaten. but if that breaks the rules, i'm cool with that.

[Glenna]

Nandita--yay! Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I'm really excited too. I may have to make two or three things for this!

Jyothi--So glad you'll be counted in. Love that you're enthusiastic about it.

Suganya--Thanks so much. I can't take all the credit. Nandita offered several suggestions and I sort of winged my way off one of them. It's going to be fun!

Roopa--thanks so much for participating. I think it will be loads of fun too!

Lakshmi--Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Raaga--Yes! I'm with you! I can skip dinner much more easily than I can skip breakfast.

Candy--I would be honored if you joined us. You gave me a warm fuzzy. I think it's a great idea to find a dish from your family tree. I was thinking about that too. I have one dish I've seen on hotel menus in big cities I want to make because I've been too chicken to order it and then I, also, was thinking geneology. I'm Swedish on one side and Norwegian on the other so I thought it would be interesting to find a breakfast recipe from them, too. Let's see, Swedish/Norwegian, is it a cliche to say breakfast might have salmon, dill, or sour cream in it? Those flavors are some of my favorites. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Cynthia]

I am going to start doing some research to be a part of this event. Thanks for hosting, Glenna.

How are you? and how is Gene? My love to both of you.

[sher]

Hey cool! I'll put that on my calendar!

[Glenna]

Cynthia--Yay! This is going to be such a fun event!
Thanks for asking. We're doing okay. Stressed but okay. Gene's taking the brunt especially since he works out of the house so he'll be here all the time but everything's going to be fine. Thanks!

Sher--You'll do something great!

Ethnic breakfast - Mexican. Super Delicious and filling.

Baked Eggs

With winter fast approaching, baked eggs make for a hearty breakfast or a brunch before shoveling that wonderful white stuff. Although basically a breakfast or brunch dish, it also can double for a Sunday night supper. It's very filling, and will last you most of the day.

Ingredients:

• 8 Eggs
• 8 Oz Sour Cream
• 2 4 Ounce Cans chopped green chilies (mild or hot)
• 1 Cup shredded Monterrey or Colby cheese
• 1 1/2 cups diced 1/4" diced ham
• 2 TBS Butter
• 4 Gratin dishes

Instructions:

Butter each gratin dish. Layer the bottoms with diced ham, then chilies, 2-3 dollops of sour cream, and some shredded Jack. Crack 2-eggs for each dish, and pour over sour cream. Continue building layers until everything is used, then spread the remaining shredded Jack cheese on top. Cover each gratin dish with foil, and bake at 350F. approximately 15-minutes. Remove foil, and bake for another 10 minutes at 350F.

These can be assembled a day ahead of time and refrigerated. If they are assembled a day ahead of time and refrigerated, the eggs may take a little longer to fully cook.
