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.

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.
