Growing up in the country makes you appreciate the simpler things in life... A beautiful sunrise, the smell of fresh flowers, the joy of eating an orange plucked right off the tree.... And yet there is an understated elegance about the country... one of which are the Sunday brunchces in the country...
Sunday morning brunch with the neighbors----
I love breakfast casseroles, stratas, quiches.. WHY YOU ASK? well for many reasons. First, lets start with they are the easiest breakfast menu to entertain with and what is life without our family, friends or just you and your spouse on a Sunday afternoon --- Exactly--- not slaving over a hot stove to prepare a brunch... The seconds is well I think the old casseroles made off with a bad reputation in the past for heavy, tasteless dishes... that is just a plain old wive tales... Here is a lovely, fresh, mouthwatering breakfast recipe that will make change your thinking about that old wives tale...
Spinach, brie, carmalized onions casserole.
Scramble 1 dozen eggs with 1/4 cup of water ( that is right water not milk) this actually is an old chefs trick that make the eggs light and fluffy... Add salt pepper to taste, 1 tsp of ground nutmeg, set aside, saute 1 peeled and sliced white onion until translucent in color add fresh cut up spinach or frozen thawed and drained spinach in a pan lightly coated with olive oil and 1 clove of garlic chopped, toss until until slightly browned, remove from frying pan and pour over eggs. Cut into small pieces 1 wedge of your favorite brie. This can be assembled before and refridgerated. When ready to make, place baking pan into oven at 375 and bake for 20-25 mintutes until bubbly on top and. Cust and serve over a toasted peice of sourdough..
