Plain omelettes, cheese omelettes, ham omelettes, Spanish omelettes, the list goes on, but this is the first time I’ve seen a recipe for a pea omelette and a pea souffle omelette at that. Very fancy and perhaps good enough to serve up as a lunch dish or even an entree.
Dietary requirements for friends visiting isn’t as easy as it used to be. Back in the day, we just decided on a menu, cooked it and people ate it. That seems like Good Old Days!!! Now there’s a lot more things to consider, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, etc. This recipe works for vegetarians and even the gluten free with a slight change to GF flour in the cheese sauce, so maybe it’s a problem solver.
Something for the kids’ lunchboxes or your own!! A batch of these in the freezer might be useful for those days when you’re in a rush or you’ve just run out of ideas…………..
This is a great recipe for using up leftover pasta. A good combination of vegetables, pasta, cheese and ham. A terrific easy weekend meal.
I wasn’t too excited when I found this recipe, I thought from the name that these were just going to be fruit toasties….then I realized that before you fried them in butter you soaked them in an egg/milk mixture and topped them off with cinnamon sugar and strawberries. That was when I realized that they were a whole lot more delicious than just an ordinary toasty.
I haven’t actually made these meatballs, but I do make a version with pork mince, chicken noodle soup and a dash of soy sauce that work really well. I make them for picnic lunches on driving holidays and to take to the F1 motor racing at Albert Park. Mine don’t have the cream cheese, but I think that’s a great idea and I’ll add it into the next batch I make.
Chicken rissoles can be a little bland, but this recipes throws in tomato, carrot and French Onion soup to really give them some zing. Mum must have added Parsley as well, as she’s written that in. I don’t know if she served them hot or cold, but I think they’d work well to take on a picnic.
I haven’t tried these out yet myself, but it’s certainly a different way to cook eggs and rice. It suggests serving them as an entrée or light luncheon, but I think they’d also be an excellent fancy breakfast dish as well – maybe a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day treat.
This recipe is from a little 1970s cookbook entitled Simple Mince Steak Recipes, which Mum and Dad’s bowling club put out as a fundraiser. Obviously the 1970s bowlers had no idea what a pizza actually was, as this would seem to be meat and cheese pie and nothing remotely like a pizza. That’s not to say that it wouldn’t taste good……
The concept of cooking the rice in beer for the base of this pizza is something I’ve never heard of before and I’m not sure I think it’s a good idea, but that could be because I’m not a beer drinker. It would certainly add some flavour, but maybe with all the yummy toppings you don’t need the beer. I think I’d make it cooked in chicken stock, but that’s just me.
