Bloody Mary Breakfast Bake Food

BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Cut the celery in large dice, including the leaves, and puree in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until finely minced. In a large pitcher, combine the rest of the ingredients except the vodka. With the food processor running, pour 1/4 of the tomato juice mixture into the food processor through the feed tube. Then pour the contents of the food processor into the pitcher with the remaining tomato juice mixture. Add the vodka and chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice with a stick of celery.

THE PERFECT BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a jug with a pinch of seasoning and lots of ice. Give it a stir, then strain into eight shot glasses with a half green olive on a cocktail stick to garnish. Try serving with our bacon bowls.

BLOODY MARY EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place six 8-ounce ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, horseradish, Worcestershire, hot sauce, celery seed, 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined. Divide the mixture among the ramekins (each ramekin should be about 2/3 full).
• Use the back of a small spoon to make a well in the center of each ramekin, then carefully crack 1 egg into each, making sure to not break the yolk. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch salt. Bake until the sauce is bubbling, the eggs whites are cooked through and the yolks are still runny, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet into a small bowl and reserve.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and season the shrimp with a pinch each salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the plate with the bacon and set aside. Brush some of the reserved bacon fat on each side of the bread, then add to the pan. Cook until toasted and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut each slice of bread into 3 planks.
• Carefully transfer the warm ramekins to a serving plate and season with a couple grinds of pepper. Place 2 to 3 pickles on each of 6 small skewers or toothpicks. Serve the baked eggs with the pickles, crispy bacon, shrimp, toasted bread, and celery.

BLOODY MARY RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the ice in a large jug. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour it straight onto the ice.
• Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses.
• Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick and lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.
