Gorgonzola Eggs With Chives Food

EGG, GORGONZOLA AND PANCETTA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Lay the pancetta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy and brown. Drain on paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, Gorgonzola, lemon zest, mayonnaise, and chives. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if using. Spread the mixture evenly over 3 slices of the bread. Crumble the pancetta and sprinkle over the egg mixture. Place the remaining bread slices on top.
• Cut the sandwiches in half and arrange on a serving platter.

CHIVE PANCAKES WITH GORGONZOLA AND BACON

Steps:

• For the pancakes: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs, milk, chives, and the olive oil. Gradually combine the flour into the wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and put over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, drop the batter by teaspoonfuls into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancake, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side. Remove the pancakes to a large plate and cool. Continue making pancakes until all the batter is used.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Gorgonzola and mascarpone and put it into a pastry bag. Pipe the Gorgonzola mixture onto the pancakes. Top with shards of the crispy bacon and chives. Arrange on serving platters and serve. Coolio!

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Cut the crust off the cheese and cut the cheese in small pieces (gorgonzola is a soft, almost creamy cheese in Italy -- not dry and crumbly.).
• Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan.
• Combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and half of the melted butter and mix well with a fork or a wire whip.
• Pour the eggs in the frying pan containing the rest of the butter and sprinkle with the cheese. Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or two without stirring.
• Drag the mass of egg slowly around the frying pan until it forms moist firm curds.
• Serve hot. We like it with fried potatoes and onions.
