Holiday Strata

April 21, 2011

This is a favorite family recipe of the Lisle Family. It is perfect for Easter or Christmas Morning, Mother’s Day, or any special Brunch.

Strata is a savory bread pudding, consisting of layers of bread, cheese, and other ingredients, topped with an egg and milk custard mixture that soaks into the bread. It’s a great dish for brunch because it requires an overnight stay in the refrigerator. Assemble it a day ahead of time, and the next morning all you need to do is bake it.

How to become an Hard Boiled Eggs-pert

April 5, 2010

Ingrediants:

  • 1/2 dozen Eggs ( Not fresh*)
  • Cold Water
  • 1 Tbls Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt

Directions

1 *Choose eggs that are several days old,  buy your eggs 5 days in advance. Fresh eggs will be difficult to peel. If you have some eggs that are difficult to peel, refrigerate for a few days then they will be easy to peel.

2 Put the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, covered by TWO  inches of cold water. Starting with cold water will help keep them from cracking. Add the vinegar and salt. Put the burner on high and bring the eggs to a boil. As soon as the water starts to boil, turn off the heat but do not remove the pan from the heated burner. Let simmer uncovered for one minute.

4 After a minute, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.

5 Strain out the HOT water from the pan, put the pan into your sink and overfill the pan with cold water until the eggs cool down a bit. Once cooled, strain the water from the eggs.

6.  Refrigerate the cooked eggs in a covered container. Consume within 5 days.

MICROWAVE RICE COOKING

November 9, 2009

Kitchen Tip of the Day = How to use a Microwave Rice Cooker

1. To cook rice, refer to package microwave directions. If package microwave directions are unavailable, a general guideline for four servings is 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. Fill cooker with water and rice. Cook on HIGH (100% power) 5 minutes; reduce to MEDIUM (50% power)15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

2. Place clear inner lid into base with outer rim upright. Set lid on top of cooker aligning lid tabs with handles. Pull locks up and over tabs to click in place.

3. Place cooker in microwave and follow package directions to begin cooking. Microwave ovens vary; adjust times and power levels as needed, beginning with shorter cooking times.

4. Remove from microwave with heat-resistant oven mitt or pad. Release locks from tabs. Caution: Steam will build during cooking. Using a heat-resistant oven mitt or pad, lift lid toward you, allowing remaining steam to escape away from you. Insert a utensil in center hole, lift clear inner lid toward you.

5. Refer to microwave manufacturers instruction manual for more information on cooking other foods.
