Ingredients 

8                                                                               Large eggs
1 1/2 cup                                                                 Cottage cheese
1/4 cup                                                                    Seriously sharp cheddar or parmesan 
2 cups                                                                      Diced carrots 
2 cups                                                                      Diced string beans or aragula
1                                                                                Scallion 
1/2 teaspoon                                                           Garlic powder
1 teaspoon                                                              Hot sauce 
4 slices                                                                     Cooked bacon (optional) 


Directions 

Place one grate of the oven on the very bottom and one on the very top.

Turn on the oven at 350 °F.

Roast the veggies with a spray of oil, salt and pepper in the muffin cups 10 minutes on the bottom and 10 minutes on top. (If using aragula it doesn't need to be roasted, it can go directly in the egg mixture). * (see note)

 Meanwhile mix the eggs with the cheeses (don't forget the cheddar) and spices then the veggies. Transfert to 2 mini muffin pan and bake  for 20 minutes of until a toothpick comes out clean.

They are good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  We enjoy them on our boat when we go on trips.

Use the veggies you like and make them à la you.

April2026 Update:
Note:
* I used bacon fat and I smoked the house so I lowered down the heat from 450°F. to 350°F.  and it took the same time to cook.

Grandma's bread, made with milk

I'm making bread this morning.  Yesterday I asked aunt Jacinthe to give me Grandma's recipe and she took a picture of it.  I love to see grandma's hand writing and the way it is redacted.  I wonder if she wrote down her mom's instructions.  It doesn"t seem to be  from a book.  I'll have to ask around. I found yeast in the pantry with a 2017 expiration date.  I thought I would steep it in water with sugar and see if it still good or not.  After 10 minutes I was not sure so I thought I would take a picture and asked my aunt if she thinks it's ok.  By the time I got my phone I could see that it was good.  Lesson learned: don't toss your yeast before trying it out.
