Nifs Egg In A Cup Food

NIF'S EGG IN A CUP

Steps:

• With a spoon, gently place the eggs in boiling water. Boil for 4 minutes and place eggs in egg cups. Immediately crack top of egg off with a knife, salt and pepper to taste. If you let the eggs sit, they will continue to cook.
• While eggs are boiling, toast the bread and spread with butter. Cut toast into strips - I try for 5. Dip the toast strips into the runny yolk - YUM!
• After the yolk is gone, you can scoop out the white with a spoon and eat that as well.

NIF'S PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Pound pork chops with a mallet, until about 1/4 inch thick. I put them in a resealable bag so it doesn't make a mess. Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Mix the flour with the garlic powder, salt and pepper; put in a flat dish. Pour egg whites in another flat dish. Mix breadcrumbs with the seasoning salt in another flat dish. Dip both sides of a pork chop in the flour, then the egg whites and lastly in the breadcrumbs. Turn to coat evenly. Repeat with other 3 chops.
• Cook chops in frying pan for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.

NIF'S DILLED QUAIL EGGS

Steps:

• Heat water to boiling, gently set eggs into water. Boil 5-6 minutes and then rinse under cold water. Do NOT use a rolling boil or the eggs will break. If your eggs do break, keep their yolks anyway.
• Let cool completely. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Pop yolks out into a small bowl.
• To yolks, add mayo and dill. Mix very well, then salt and pepper to taste.
• Put yolk mixture into a plastic sandwich bag. Pipe mixture into each egg half.
• Garnish with fresh dill or chives.

NIF'S EGG, HAM AND CHEESE BREAKFAST QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Over medium-low heat, heat ham in a nonstick frying pan sprayed with nontick spray. While ham is warming, whisk together the egg and egg substitute. Add to ham and stir until eggs are just barely cooked. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Place one tortilla in another frying pan, over medium heat. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar and half the ham and egg mixture. Top with half of the mozzarella. Place second tortilla on top.
• Gently lift the tortilla to see when it is lightly browned. When it is, slide quesadilla onto a plate. Place pan on top of plate and flip so that the uncooked side is now on the bottom. Cook until lightly browned. Slide onto a cutting board and cut into 6 slices.
• Repeat to make another quesadilla.

NIF'S EGGSTREMELY EASY EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Put eggs in a bowl and mash them up with the back of a fork. Add mayo and dill and mix everything together. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Put in a sandwich with crisp lettuce and cucumber or place a scoop on top of your salad.

NIF'S PERFECT POACHED EGG

Steps:

• In a frying pan, heat enough water to cover the egg(s) to a low boil. Add salt.
• Crack an egg into a small bowl. Quickly dip bowl into the water. Slide the raw egg into the water. Immediately slide the other egg into the water in the same fashion.
• TURN OFF HEAT but leave on burner! Cover pan with lid - DO NOT UNCOVER and let sit for 4 to 6 minutes. You can uncover to check them, starting at 4 minutes. You'll know they're done if the white is not really jiggly.
• Using a slotted spoon, gently place eggs on a tea towel. If you use scented detergents or fabric softeners on your towels, do not use them. Instead, slide egg(s) onto good quality paper towels, so the towel doesn't fall apart. Let sit for a few seconds to drain the water.
• Place eggs on to toast, a slice of tomato, steamed spinach and/or a piece of low fat cheese.
