2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for dishes
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Baked Egg Cups with Polenta and Broccoli Rabe

I come from a family of picky eaters (except for my dad, which is where I probably got my love of food), but the one thing that we all love are “dippy eggs”. The fancier term for these would be “over easy”. My mom makes the best dippy eggs ever. The whites are just translucent, and the yolk is warm but still runny.

Beer Steamed Egg Over Baby Greens with an Aleppo and Parmesan Crusted Polenta Cake

This is the perfect dish for a light lunch, a first course or a brunch dish. The serving is just for one, but it’s so easy to make it for more. I'd probably go for two eggs and two polenta cakes if I was making it for a main dish or for a hearty eater.

Savory Turkey Cheese Egg Muffins

As our challenges come and go, I can often track what's going on in my life by the recipes I'm doing for the various challenges. Right now I'm getting back on track with carbs and trying to watch my diet. The egg challenge came along at the perfect time because eggs are such a huge part of a low carb plan. 

Angel Hair Carbonara with Shrimp

There is a certain confidence in making this dish with Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs. There is no fear of undercooked egg causing health problems. Use a rasp grater to grate the cheese, as it must be extremely fine or it will not melt into the sauce. Small shrimp are best as they cook quickly.

1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
2 Tablespoons cold water
2 cups chicken broth (homemade or store bought)

1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 large Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
2 Tablespoons sliced green onions

Eggs in a Nest

I love breakfast, but I am not at all an early morning big breakfast eater. If I make a big breakfast-y meal, it's usually for dinner or for brunch on a special occasion. For our Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs challenge, I decided to make this really fun brunch dish. It's eggs, hash browns and bacon all wrapped up in one cute little package! I served these along with some homemade banana bread. I gotta say, I had some very happy guys in my house. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get your potatoes baked and cooled before you dive into making this (I baked mine the day before and put them in the fridge overnight.) Since I only made 12 of these, I had some leftover potato mixture. I think it'll make some great potato pancakes!

Key Lime Pie Parfait

The Florida Keys, and especially Key West, hold a very special place in my heart. There's just something about the Cuban influences, fresh seafood (conch fritters!), delicious daiquiris, and beautiful sunsets that keep me constantly looking for a reason to return. In the meantime, however, the perfect key lime pie parfait is a way to bring a little bit of that particular heaven into my everyday life.

This parfait is really a deconstructed key lime pie. It consists of toasted graham cracker crumbs, a key lime custard, and home made whipped cream. Around here this works much better than a pie, as each person in the house can help themselves to the serving size and ratio that they prefer. Plus, if you are expecting company, the individual components can be made separately and ahead of time.

Poblano Chile Casserole

We enjoy this dish with catfish or tilapia and a green salad.

Huevos Rancheros

I absolutely love eggs and couldn't believe we were going to get to try these eggs out. These eggs are called "safest choice" for a reason. Warm water bath pasteurized and absolutely the freshest tasting eggs that I have had in a long time.

I wanted to make a dish that made the egg the star, while also providing a little bit of a show to go with it. I think I came up with a great example of that in my Huevos Rancheros. This is a dish you could easily make for a great meal anytime of the day! I made my own ranchero sauce, but you can easily eliminate that step and use your favorite brand. This is such a versatile dish that you can make it with any ingredients that you want.

Coquito (Coconut Rum Eggnog)

Whereas Americans typically serve eggnog for the Christmas holidays, in Latin American households we serve something called Coquito. It is Coconut Rum Eggnog, that will knock your socks off, and it’s absolutely delicious! I’m sure after tasting this you will want Coquito served at your next Christmas dinner.

Oyako Donburi

Challenged to use eggs in a dish that will showcase them, and especially benefit from the use of Davidson's Safest Choice Eggs, which are pasteurized, I immediately thought of oyako donburi. This is Japanese comfort food in a bowl. Donburi means, quite literally, 'bowl' - and in Japanese food, it refers to any of a number of popular dishes that consist of a big bowl of rice topped with something. Oyako means 'parent and child' - so appropriate for a chicken-and-egg dish!

Ox Eyes with Cilantro Cream

Many versions of this recipe suggest it as a breakfast or brunch dish. I personally think it makes a nice lunch or dinner, too! I took a traditional recipe and spiced it up. You can season however you like, but this version is quite tasty.

Eggnog

I never liked eggnog until I tried some made by a local dairy. Then I fell in love. Good thing it's a seasonal beverage, or I'd be buying it way too often.

Deviled Egg Macaroni Pasta Salad

I was really excited to be introduced to Davidson's Safest Choice Pasteurized Eggs through 37 Cooks. I have an auto-immune system disease, so I have avoided foods with uncooked eggs. I couldn't even have a nice sunny-side up egg. Now with Davidson’s Safest Choice Pasteurized Eggs, I can have hollandaise, homemade mayonnaise and a sunny-side up egg, and not worry about salmonella and the health risk associated with it. I think you will enjoy this eggstra-ordinary recipe, and I know I will enjoy the creamy homemade mayonnaise in it.

Seven Mayos - The Great Mayo Taste Test of 2013!

BLT's on sticks were one of the items used to taste the mayos.

I was nervous after I told everyone in 37 Cooks I was making a bunch of different mayonnaise recipes for this challenge. Really nervous. And then I procrastinated. That’s what I do when I get nervous. I played 3 games of solitaire on my phone, read Facebook all morning, drank coffee, did the dishes, played 3 more games of solitaire and finally got to work.

Hatch Chile Quiche

Quiche is one of my absolute favorite dishes. It is flexible - meat or vegetarian, multiple cheeses to choose from, crust or no crust.
