Breakfast

Lactose Eggs
Ingredients:

- 4 (1/2-inch-thick) good-quality firm white sandwich bread slices - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour - ¾ cup whole milk - 4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated on small holes of box grater (about 1 cup), divided - ½ teaspoon kosher salt - ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more for garnish - ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg - 4 slices cooked unsmoked ham (3 ounces total; such as Jamon de Paris) - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - 2 large eggs - Chopped fresh chives - Flaky sea salt

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to broil with rack about 8 inches from heat source. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Spread 1 side of bread slices evenly with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Place bread slices, buttered side down, in skillet; cook until toasted and golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer bread to a work surface. Wipe skillet clean. 2. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium until foamy. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking constantly, until light golden, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk; bring to a simmer over medium, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking often, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 cup of the grated Gruyère and whisk until melted. Stir salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the Mornay sauce. (If not using immediately, cover surface of sauce directly with plastic wrap for up to 1 hour.) 3. Arrange 2 of the bread slices on a work surface, toasted side down. On each slice, spread 2 tablespoons Mornay sauce to evenly to cover the surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Gruyère, and top with 2 ham slices. Spread mustard evenly on untoasted sides of remaining 2 bread slices; place, mustard side down, on top of ham-topped slices. Spread remaining Mornay sauce evenly on top of sandwiches, then top with remaining 1/4 cup grated Gruyère. 4. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet, and broil in preheated oven until cheese has melted and top is bubbly and browning in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in cleaned nonstick skillet over medium-high. Crack eggs into skillet; cook, undisturbed, until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes. 6. Top each sandwich with a fried egg; garnish with chives, flaky sea salt, and additional pepper.

Bacon and Eggs
Breakfast
Author:

Eggs
Ingredients:

  • Bacon (1lb per 5-6 people)
  • Eggs (2 per person)
  • Butter 
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Loaf of bread(optional)

Procedure:

  1. Place the slices of bacon in the pan over medium-high heat. You don't want to crowd the bacon slices. If your bacon is spattering all over, the heat is too high.
  2. Cook your bacon, turning it every couple of minutes until it reaches the crispiness you desire.
  3. Drain the bacon on a plate layered with paper towels.
  4. Once all the bacon is cooked, turn your heat down to medium-low. Don't drain the bacon fat. You are going to fry your eggs in the bacon grease.Keep a small bowl of bacon fat in your refrigerator to be sure you have enough bacon fat to fry the eggs.
  5. You want about 1/4 inch of fat in the pan.
  6. Use a slotted spatula to remove the eggs from the pan and then blot each egg with a paper towel before putting it on the plate. That way very little of the fat is actually served with the eggs.
  7. Serve with toast

Dutch Baby
Breakfast
Author:

Lactose Eggs
Ingredients:


Serves 10

  • 1 cup butter
  •  14 eggs
  • 2 1/2  cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla
  • zest from one lemon
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups berries
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar amount varies based on preference
  • lemon juice to squeeze on berries, if desired

Procedure:


  1. Using a 12 inch (8 quart) Dutch oven, prepare 24 charcoals.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the 14 eggs, 2 1/2 cups milk, 2 tablespoon vanilla, and zest from one lemon (this can be done ahead of time). When you're ready to cook, add the 2 1/2 cups flour and teaspoon salt and whisk together until well blended.
  3. When the coals are nice and hot, place 8 coals directly under the dutch oven. Add 1 cup butter and allow to melt. Once melted, add the batter to the pot, cover, and add remaining 16 coals to the lid.
  4. Rotate the lid 1/4 turn every 5 minutes and allow the dutch baby to cook until set, about 25 minutes. It should puff up all the way to the lid and once the lid is removed it will fall. Remove from heat.

English Muffin Bacon and Cheese
Breakfast
Author:

Lactose Eggs
Ingredients:

  • English Muffins – Halved ready to be toasted. At a stretch you can use regular small rolls, but English muffins are definitely preferable!
  • Eggs – These will be fried, but you can also poach or scramble them (see recipe notes).
  • Butter – To fry the eggs. Can sub a drizzle of oil if you prefer.
  • Bacon – Streaky bacon (aka regular bacon in the US).
  • Cheese – I like American style processed cheese because it nods to the classic McMuffin. You can however use any cheese you fancy.
  • Hot Sauce – Cholula, Franks or Sriracha work great. Can sub ketchup.

Procedure:

  1. Fry the bacon low ‘n’ slow
    You want to render out as much fat as possible from the bacon. This is for two reasons: first is so the bacon goes nice and crispy. Second is you can use the leftover fat to toast the muffins.
  2. Join the eggs
    There’s 2 eggs per sandwich, and you fry 4 at a time. It’s best to split the eggs into pairs (see below) so they fold into the sandwich easier. Fried eggs are notorious for sliding out of sandwiches!
  3. From there you can use a spatula/turner to scoop and flip the sandwiches onto a plate. But, I find it easiest to rest a plate over the top of muffins then carefully flip the pan.
  4. Do I have to make the eggs sunny-side-up?
    Nope! If you don’t like runny yolks just burst them as they cook.
  5. What else can I add to this sandwich?
    • Chives work nicely
    • As does sliced Avocado
    • Go wild and add some Hash Browns!

Cherry Cobbler - Dutch Oven
Dessert
Author:

Lactose
Ingredients:

Per 4 quarts of Oven:(Standard 12in oven is approx. 8qts)

  1. 1 box yellow cake mix
  2. 1 12-ounce can lemon lime soda
  3. 8 Tablespoons salted butter
  4. 2 cups frozen cherries, blueberries, and blackberries
  5. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  6. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  7. zest and juice of 1 lemon

Procedure:

Dutch oven in charcoal.

If you’re baking in a fire, I recommend using a 8-quart Dutch oven with the lid so you can place hot coals above and below for even heat distribution (I would do 15-20 coals on the bottom and about the same amount on the lid, you may need to increase the baking time slightly to allow the Dutch oven to come up to temperature.)

  1. Add the berries.
    Place the frozen berries, brown sugar, flour, and lemon zest in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. Stir to coat the berries evenly.
  2. Layer on the cake.
    Make the cake layer by combining the cake mix, lemon lime soda, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir until it is just barely combined (do not overmix). Fold in the butter and pour the cake mixture over the berry layer.
  3. Cook.
    With your grill or smoker preheated to 375 degrees F, bake the cherry berry cobbler for 30-45 minutes. This time may vary depending on where you are cooking the cobbler, so use this time as a guide and remove when a toothpick comes out nice and clean and the cake has started to brown.
  4. Serve.
    Remove the cobbler from the smoker or coals. Cool slightly (those berries will be hot!), then serve with a large scoop of ice cream!
