Poached Eggs with Scallion Potato Cake
When I order breakfast I always get eggs, but not normal eggs. Eggs that have been taken over by greasy sausage, drowned in cheese, and cracked out with the hottest peppers possible. Not once in a restaurant have I ordered pancakes or a sophisticated egg dish. Everything with this breakfast plan was going just fine...
Shirred Eggs with Tomato Sauce
Continuing my theme of new ways to cook eggs, I think have a new all-time favorite: baked eggs also called shirred eggs (or in the case of this recipe, amazing eggs baked in tomato sauce with parmesan). Shirred eggs are typically cooked in ramekins with various ingredients. All egg-cooking methods involve heating the eggs to...
Omelette aux Fine Herbs
My obsession with eggs started after I graduated from college. Every morning I would dash out of the house without breakfast, run to catch the subway, and quickly grab and egg and cheese sandwich from the deli around the corner. I still eat eggs most mornings for breakfast – they’re healthy and keep me energized...

I’m not complaining – this is...
Ham, Asparagus, and Gruyere Frittata
Note: This is one of several posts that I wrote while still in Jackson Hole. We’re in Boulder now and in the process of a huge house remodel, so normal posting will resume as soon as I have a working kitchen! This morning we awoke to saucer-sized snowflakes! Okay, I may be exaggerating, but they...
Won’t Last More Than 10 Minutes Pecan Coffee Cake
Yeah, I know. The title of this post sounds like something you’d see in SkyMall Magazine. Laugh now, but don’t say you weren’t warned – this cake disappears QUICKLY! My sister, brother in-law, and their two adorable kids Brynn, 3, and Troy, 1, came to visit us in Jackson Hole last week (hence the delay...
