WELSH RAREBIT

Posted by Carole-Anne on January 28, 2008

There are some recipes that we just have to put into the Healthy Recipes CollectionWelsh Rarebit is one of these.

I have yet to see a recipe for Welsh Rarebit, in a Recipe book, yet it is so tasty, that I feel we must offer it to you. It is nutritious, with whole grain bread, protein in the cheese (light), cayenne pepper and freshly ground pepper, and there is one egg in the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

slices whole grain bread

1 tbsp butter

1/2 lb light Cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 tsp dry mustard

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup skim milk or 1% milk

1 egg well beaten. 

Sliced tomatoes and very crispy bacon (optional)

FOLLOW ME:

Using a double boiler, melt 1 tbsp butter.

Add shredded light Cheddar cheese, dry mustard and pepper.

Stir in 1/2 cup milk; continue stirring until the cheese  is well blended.

Stir constantly, and as the cheese melts, stir in 1/2 cup 1% milk.

Slowly add beaten egg, stirring briskly until it has blended into hot cheese sauce

Place toast in toaster.

Pour cheese sauce on toast immediately; garnish with crispy bacon and tomato slices.

Healthy Recipe serves 4 people.

INCREDIBLE MEDTITERREAN OMELETTE

Posted by Carole-Anne on December 10, 2007

Did you know, that an omelette contains about everything you need regarding proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables? At Healthy Recipes, we think that this omelette is perfect to serve as a Brunch Item as well as breakfast.

I learned to make an excellent omelette from my son years ago. He makes the BEST!

INGREDIENTS:

1 small Roma tomato cubed into 1/2″ square cubes

2 tablespoons virgin olive oil

1 medium Spanish onion chopped into small pieces

1 tablespoon garlic minced finely

Sea Salt to taste

Freshly ground pepper to taste

2 cups spinach washed and rinsed well, with stems removed

1 tbsp black olives thinly sliced

6 large eggs with 2 tbsp water added and beaten well

1/2 cup Feta cheese crumbled (organic)

1 tbsp fresh dill (or one tsp dried)

NOW FOLLOW ME:

In a cast iron skillet or frying pan, saute the garlic, onion and add the salt and pepper. Cook until the onion is transparent.

Add the spinach leaves and olives; then pour the egg mixture over the entire frying pan of spinach leaves, adding the Feta cheese intermittently with the egg mixture and the dill.

The skillet should be at medium heat; cover and let cook for approximately 4 – 5 minutes. The omelette should rise nicely. Turn omelette over with a wide fry pan flipper and let cook for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Cut the Incredible Mediterranean Omelette into quarters and serve.

Hint: To make the best omelette, it is best to use water to mix into the eggs and beat until fluffy.

Next Hint: Skillet must be medium high with olive oil in it before your pour the omelette in.

Next Hint: Be certain to cover the omelette the first 4 to 5 minutes while cooking.

Serve with fancy toast on a eye-pleasing silver platter.
