Veggie-Egg Stack Sunday brunch

Before leaving for our long snowshoeing hike in our beautiful wood at our cottage, we need some fuel.
Today I improvised a new egg stack without any bread. Yummy and no carbs!!

Ingredients for 2 servings

2-3 eggs depending if someone wants 2 eggs (my husband)
2 leaves of romaine lettuce
2 thick slices of tomatoes
6 slices of cucumber
1/3 cup of shredded old cheddar
Half a small onion diced
1 clove of garlic minced
Salt and pepper

Steps to make the recipe

Sauté the onion and the garlic in a bit of butter until softened.

Meanwhile, lay out the lettuce and top with tomatoe and cucumber. Add salt and pepper.

Spread the onions on the stack and use the same pan to fry the eggs over-easy (you could also poach the eggs if you prefer ) .

Spread the eggs on the stack and add salt and pepper to taste.

In the same pan, toss the shredded cheese and melt for a minute.

Top your stack with the cheese et Voilà!

Parsley Pesto Roasted Cauliflower and Egg Stack for Sunday Brunch

Oct 18

Posted by Martine

Here is an awesome and healthy brunch / lunch idea I tried today. It was so good, even hubby approved!

Ingredients

cauliflower head
4 tbsp of parsley pesto (1 per side). Recipe for parsley pesto from a previous post
thick slices of tomatoes
1 egg per cauliflower slice
salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste
black olives and capers to taste

Cut a cauliflower right in the middle and then cut 2 to 3 1-inch thick slices depending on the size of your cauliflower. Spread generously with parsley pesto on the side facing up.

Place the cauliflower slices in the oven at broil (setting high) about 6 inches from the element. Roast for about 3-5 minutes, checking often. Once it is browning, turn them over and brush with pesto on the other side. Place under the broiler for another 3-5 minutes (or however long it takes to brown in your oven).
