Leftover Steak and Veggies Cheesy Crustless Quiche

Beef, Eggs, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals

Hey blogger friends! If you have read my blog, you know I love my eggs! I also love to makeover my leftovers. So tonight, I made over last night’s dinner. https://funfoodiefamily.com/2013/11/21/rib-eye-with-white-wine-mushroom-gravy-smashed-potatoes-and-roasted-asparagus/

First, I added a chopped shallots to the pan. Holy tears!!! I always forget how strong these are! The best way to not tear up and have stinging eyes is to refrigerate your onions. I had just bought this one, so not cold enough. Here are some other ways to “try” to get around crying. http://www.wikihow.com/Chop-Onions-Without-Tears

The I chopped up my veggies and leftover steak. I added 4 eggs whisked, 3/4 cup of half and half, 4 dollops of goat cheese, and a nice coating of parm. cheese. I mixed up and add in pan. Then I added a bit more goat and parm cheese on top.

Then I baked it at 350 for 30 minutes. Quiche and fritatas are always great for leftover meats and veggies! I served with Rosemary Sea Salt Loaf from Fresh Market. Heaven!

Sunny Side Up Eggs and Sausage

Breakfast and Brunch, Eggs

Happy Saturday! This morning I made sausage links, runny eggs, and buttered toast! Always an easy and fast breakfast!
For the sausage I just followed the directions on the back of the package. For the eggs, I started with 3 tablespoons of butter in a hot pan. I made 10 eggs (2 batches) for the 5 of us. I cooked the eggs for a few minutes until the bottom set, then I took them off the heat and covered them for about 2 minutes to cook the whites on the top. Perfection!

Eggs Diablo

Breakfast and Brunch, Eggs, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals, Mexican

I watched Rachel Ray last night and her show was all about rolling over leftovers. Try to make your food dollar stretch by re-purposing your dinners into some great breakfast, lunches, and dinners. I love this idea! I think it is important to find ways to not throw out food. Food cost money, and no one wants to throw money away!

You may remember last night I raved over my leftover Ragu sauce. I was thinking of this dish last night when I typed out my dinner post. It was everything like I imagined it would be! Eggs Diablo, or Eggs in Hell, are eggs poached in fiery tomato sauce. I decided to re-purpose my Ragu sauce by adding some hot sauce in it to and poach the eggs. Serve with some crunchy bread for dipping. Easy and fast. I made this dish in about 10 minutes.

First I added my leftover Ragu to the pan and put in a few good shakes of hot sauce. Then I cracked 2 eggs on top. Cook for about 5 minutes uncovered. Then take off the heat and add a lid to poach the eggs in the steam. You could also cook this in the oven if you wanted to… 350 for until the eggs are cooked how you like.

Money shot! Runny eggs are crucial for this dish. The rich yolks and tomato sauce dipped up on a piece of toast…Just yum! You could totally use this as a thick soup and add some tortilla pieces, avocado slice, and a dollop of sour cream. I have more Ragu in the fridge, so I will def. be coming up with another recipe or 2 to rollover this sauce. What is your favorite way to rollover leftovers?

My husband made himself a pretty yummy frittata. Of course, I had to have a taste. I am kind of like a hobbit; I eat first breakfast and second breakfast any time I can.

My husband’s breakfast- potatoes thinly sliced, chopped bacon, and American Cheese
