BREAKFAST WITH PAPA - Recipe & Steemit Food Challenge Entry - Open-Faced Wild Omelette with Elderberry Yogurt

in #foodchallenge8 years ago

This is a healthy, delicious breakfast and an easy recipe. My homestead version can easily be recreated by anyone just by using a few simple substitutes.


INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Farm Fresh Eggs (Can substitute regular eggs)
  • 1/2 cup Raw Milk (Can substitute milk of your choice)
  • 1 Tablespoon Homemade Butter (Can substitute store-bought butter)
  • 1/4 cup Lamb's Quarters (Can substitute spinach)
  • 1/4 cup Dandelion Greens (Can substitute bok choy)
  • 2 Wild Garlic Cloves (Can substitute garlic of your choice)
  • 1/2 Superhot Pepper (Can substitute hot pepper of your choice)
  • 1 Fresh Garden Cucumber (Can substitute cucumber of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Cheese (optional)
  • Salt & Pepper (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups Homemade Yogurt (Can substitute yogurt of your choice)
  • 1 cup Fresh Elderberries (Can berry of your choice)

DIRECTIONS

  • Rinse and chop Dandelion, Lambs Quarters, Garlic, and Super-hot Pepper (mine is cross between the Trinidad Moruga Pepper and the Ghost Pepper)

  • Break Eggs into bowl and add Milk, stirring in the chopped ingredients

  • Add Salt & Pepper to Egg mixture if desired (optional)

  • Melt Butter in a pan and add the Egg mixture

  • In a small pot, heat the Berries with a little water

  • Flip Egg mixture when firm on the bottom side

  • Removed Berries from heat and strain if desired (I do with the Elderberries)

  • Add Shredded Cheese (optional) to the top of the Egg mixture and remove from heat once cooked through

  • Stir Berry Juice into Yogurt (have fun with it, make designs or patterns and enjoy your morning)

  • Wash and slice Cucumber and Salt lightly

  • Spread Cucumber slices around the edge of the open-faced omelette

  • Garnish Omelette with fresh Dandelion & Lambs Quarters leaves (optional)

  • Serve with breakfast beverage of your choice (I like Oolong Tea and Raw Milk)


This breakfast was inspired by my new healthier lifestyle and my desire to cook with wild edibles, especially once I compared some wild food with store-bought.

Just by adding the Lambs Quarters and Dandelion to the eggs I gained an incredible amount of nutrients. I gained over 800% of the recommended amount of Vitamin K, almost 200% of Vitamin A, over 40% of Vitamin C and almost 30% of Calcium. How's that for nutrition facts? Also, with the Elderberry, Garlic and Super-hot Pepper, I gave my Immune System a double-boost and increased my metabolism as well. The fresh, local chicken eggs and Raw Milk from grass-fed cows (also used in the Homemade Butter & Yogurt) have a whole bunch of health benefits too. With the Cucumber fresh from the garden and wild foraged Elderberry, Garlic, Dandelion, and Lambs Quarters, this was an extremely cheap breakfast too. Overall, it was very delicious, and you'd be surprised that you don't really notice the presence of the Dandelion and Lambs Quarters mixed into the omelette.

Please define "content mill" so I know whether or not to thank you.

You're rolling out more content than anybody else. Your content differs from other spammers in which you try to fit as much of yourself in it as possible. Your content is definitely only getting better and better over time. Just keep on windimilling.

Well, that answer certainly sounds good, except that you said "other spammers". Does that mean that you think I am a spammer? I think that phrase just may have been poorly worded on your part, so please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for what positive things you did mention.

That is absolutely amazing. YOU are one productive individual! Must be the Dandelion supercharging your brain! That stuff is so bitter, do you find the same? bookmarked!

Perhaps cooking it lessens the edge. It was great both times that I've cooked it in a dish. Otherwise, maybe it's just because I eat all sorts of weird things. Have you ever just munched on cloves for a snack?

I love your proofs! :)

It's a good combination of verifying the originality of the work and having fun making a joke. Perhaps it will wear off, but if you like it, why should I stop now? THANKS.

What? , you didn't save us any?!
That's just wrong!

Well what did you eat for breakfast that you didn't share with me?
