hi

 

[Cafuen]

Egg custard takes a different amount of eggs depending on the recipe, I used 6 for mine but have known others to use 10 or 12...

 

[MicMoo]

And as an aside... why does the the whites in my quiche turn dark grey/green on day 2?

Are you using an aluminum pan? Sulfur in eggs tends to react with bare aluminum and turn green.

Decadent Brownies

1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, divided
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
2 tablespoons real vanilla extract
2¼ cups sugar
1¼ cups flour, divided- 1 cup for batter, ¼ cup in walnuts
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups diced walnut pieces (pecans ok, too)
¾ cup peanut butter, optional

Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease and flour a 13x18x1½” sheet pan. Melt together the butter, 1 pound chocolate chips, and bitter chocolate on top of a double boiler. Cool slightly. Stir together the eggs, instant coffee, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature.

Stir together 1 cup of the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts with 1/4 cup flour to coat. Then add to the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan.

OPTION: To make Peanut Butter Swirl brownies, use ¾ cup of peanut butter and add in dollops across chocolate batter. Use a knife to swirl PNB through batter.

Bake for about 30 min, or until tester just comes out clean. Halfway through the baking, rap the pan against the oven shelf to allow air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Do not overbake! Cool thoroughly, refrigerate well and cut into squares.

Sugar Pie's Almost Famous Sourdough Bread Pudding with Southenrn Comfort Sauce

4 cups milk
4 eggs
¾ cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. melted butter
¼ tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups stale sourdough bread cubes (cut up and leave out overnight)

In a large bowl, whisk milk, eggs, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla together. Add bread cubes, toss well, and let soak until all liquid is absorbed. (You can add up to 1 cup extra milk if there is no liquid to be absorbed after tossing.) You want cubs moist but not sitting in a soup.

Grease a 9”x13” baking dish. Add bread mixture to pan. Place pan in an even larger dish of water to form a water-bath, and bake at 350ºF for about an hour. (Without the water bath, the pudding will rise too high when baking, then fall and be too dense after removal from oven.)

To make the Southern Comfort Sauce: In a small saucepan, place ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ water, and 3 Tbsp. of butter. Bring this to a boil, stirring occasionally. REMOVE from heat, and then stir in 2-3 oz. of Southern Comfort whisky. Stir well and ladle over warm bread pudding.

Split each biscuit in half horizontally and press flat into a circle. Fit biscuits on bottom and up sides of 10 muffin cups. Combine eggs, milk, seasonings, and shredded cheese in bowl. Pour into buttered skillet and scramble until just beginning to set, still should be somewhat soupy. Spoon into biscuit cups and bake at 350ºF for about 12-15 minutes until biscuits are golden. Let set 1-2 before removing from pan. Serve w/ desired garnishes. Delicious!!

Blueberry-Stuffed French Toast Casserole

Nonstick cooking spray
9 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup maple syrup
12 cups cubed stale French bread
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, cut into small cubes
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Blueberry Syrup or maple syrup (optional)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

In a smaller bowl combine eggs, milk, butter, and the ½ cup maple syrup. Whisk until combined. Place bread cubes in large bowl; add cream cheese and the blueberries. Slowly pour the egg mixture over blueberry-and-bread mixture; gently fold mixture to evenly moisten the bread. Pour into greased casserole dish.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut in squares. Serve with Blueberry Syrup or additional maple syrup, if desired. Makes 12 servings.

I like to make an eggy challah bread with dried cherries. Then when it gets stale-ish, I slice it up for french toast and use up more eggs!

Dutch babies/ German pancakes are super too. Here is one of my favorite recipes.

Egg Bread

INGREDIENTS:

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F)

6 egg yolks

3 eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1 egg

1 pinch salt


DIRECTIONS:


In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir in the yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.


Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm place until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.


Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends. Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread. Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the bread with egg-wash again.


Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Did you try it....?

I tried it but it didn't come anything close to your pic. I messed up everything. It smelled delicious and it looked great but it was not as "soft" as I would have wanted it to be. I think I added too much flour.

I really should not have tried making it after work because I had too much going on in the chicken yard and I was having to go back and forth, in and out of the house. It was a disaster. I had issues with 1 of my ewes, baby chicks were all over the chicken yard, baby lamb were busting the door down to get inside for ANOTHER bottle and to take a nap inside in the cool air, guineas running all in the road......need I say more. So, I'm trying to handle all of this and still trying to mix my ingredients and kneed. I am not giving up on this recipe. I will try this again on a day when the zoo is not trying to destroy my day. :/

Needless to say, the animals had a great breakfast this morning that consisted of home made baked bread. :/
