Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers Recipe

Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers, a perfectly seasoned chicken patty with an egg nested in the middle of it served on a toasted bagel, perfect for brunch or a light dinner
Hola Amigos! Happy Weekend! This is the perfect breakfast burger for a Sunday morning or a mid day brunch...and you know? why not...for those late evenings when you feel like having breakfast for dinner.
I think it's a great idea if you want to surprise your hungry kids with something different, they would enjoy it for sure, perhaps more than you because let's be honest it's a bit of a preparation, but so is that stack of fresh pancakes you always make them right?

I first found the inspiration for my recipe on Pinterest. They were meat burgers and not much detail was given. Since I wanted something light for breakfast I made them out of chicken and I'm sharing some tips with you if you want to make them with or without the egg.

Chicken and Egg Bagel Burgers
Chicken and Egg Bagel Burger, a perfectly seasoned chicken patty with an egg nested in the middle of it served in toasted bagel
1 Pound Fresh Ground Chicken
1 tsp minced onion
1 tsp garlic powder
salt
pepper
5 Eggs
1 Cup Flour
1 TBSP Paprika
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1/2 TBSP Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper
Bagel Rolls of your Preference 
Cheese (optional)
Season your chicken with minced onion, garlic powder salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper.
To make the burgers now,  make 5 large chicken balls, dip them in the flour mix and flatten them. Take a cup and cut a hole on each flatten burger make burger #5 with the left over "inner circles". Now you are left with 5 chicken rings ready to be fried. I recommend you do this on a non stick pan because otherwise your eggs will stick to the bottom and it will be a mess. Brown your rings both sides, Once this is done, add the egg. Cover it up so it is done to the way you like it!

Listo!
Sprinkle some cheese after you take them off the frying pan and put on your bagel

Enjoy! 
It makes 5 medium size chicken burgers. Serve with home fries and your favorite fruit.

Like I mentioned before, it's a little bit of work involved but I think is the perfect dish when you want to say, because you are Special, because it's your Birthday or simply because I Love You!

The Chicken well cooked and seasoned goes awesome with my everything bagel! Maybe next time I'll even add turkey bacon!! Yum!

Thank you so much for sharing some time with me today! I hope you get the chance to prepare these burger for someone you care for and surprise them. Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

Shrimp Egg Foo Young Recipe

Hola Amigos: I'm going International for lunch/dinner today and  bringing you a favorite take out of mine, Chinese Shrimp Foo Young!, this is a super easy recipe but full of flavor, so grab your chopsticks and let's get cooking!
Shrimp Egg Foo Young

8 Eggs
1 Pound Seasoned Cooked Shrimp*
1 (10 oz) Bag Bean Sprouts
1 Large Carrot shredded
1 Medium Onion Sliced Thin
1 1/2 Cup Chicken broth
2 TBSP cornstarch
2 TBSP cold water
1 Bunch Green Onion Chopped (divided)
1 (1 inch ) Ginger Root 
Soy Sauce
Pepper
5 TBSP oil 
* After I cook my shrimp I like to season them with a little bit of ginger, bean sauce and pepper. But this is just my preference.

In a shallow saucepan add 1 TBSP oil, when the oil is hot and ready, stir in the bean sprouts, carrot, and onions. Fry for a couple of minutes until tender. Drain if necessary any excess liquid. Set aside.

I prefer to mix my eggs and make my patties as I go, therefore I whisk 2 eggs per patty and add soy sauce and pepper to taste.
In a non stick pan heat up a tablespoon of oil, add the whisk eggs, on top, sprinkle  handful of the vegetable mix and as many shrimp as you want per patty. 
Cook about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to brown, curl a little and you could feel it easy moving at the bottom of the pan. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
Repeat the process until you have used all your eggs and you have 4 patties.
They are ready to serve and garnish with some chopped green onions.

For the sauce 

In a sauce pan add the chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce and pepper to taste and the rest of your  chopped green onions, Bring to a boil. In  a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water and add it to the boiling broth pot. Cook on medium-low heat until thickened and cornstarch is cooked.
If you have some shrimp left you can also add them to the sauce at this point. It is optional. 
Serve over the patties.

Listo!

This was so easy to make for those nights you feel like having something different, easy and homemade.

It's also healthy and light with all those crisp veggies. We love ours  with white rice!

Thank You for visiting the blog today! When you feel like carryout but not much like driving or spend the extra cash, this is the recipe you are looking for, and perhaps after trying it there won't be any more Chinese takeout for your family  again!

Remember my friends, everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
Lizy

Buffalo Chicken Deviled Eggs Recipe

Hola Amigos! Happy Monday! Hope everybody is enjoying this long weekend with lots of BBQs, grilling, and just plain fun with family and friends. I was going to start a series of Seasonal Fruits Posts for the entire week, but I got a request from my hubs today to make him his favorite appetizer, Deviled Eggs! Very rarely he asks for something in particular so I agreed to his request because I had a new recipe I wanted to try.
I call them  "True Blue Deviled Eggs" in honor of this Memorial Day, "True Blue" stands for  Loyal, I'm sure we've all heard the expression True Blue American, right? there's also some blue cheese in them so the name is perfect! and now that I think about it, it would be perfect for the 4th of July as well. Here is the recipe
Buffalo Chicken
True Blue Deviled Eggs

1 dozen eggs cooked, cut in half, yolks separated from whites
1 Chicken Breast Cooked and processed to coarse crumbs
6 oz Sour Cream
6 oz Cream Cheese Softened
6 oz Blue Cheese (I used smoked)
8 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/8 cup Mustard ( I used Smoked Chipotle Mustard)
Franks Hot Sauce
(you could use Buffalo Sauce, but is too hot for the kids here)
dash of pepper
dash of tumeric 
dash or garlic powder

In a big bowl add and mix all the ingredients plus the egg yolks until you get a creamy paste, put in the microwave for 1 minute or 2 to melt the mozzarella cheese

. Stuff your eggs with this warm mix and sprinkle some paprika on top!

Listo

I loved this recipe! I think I saw something similar on Pinterest but I couldn't find it to double check I got everything right? Don't you hate when that happens? LOL

It's really tasty and with the left over mix you can use it as a warm dip for bread sticks or crackers.

Thank You for visiting! Have a safe return home if you are traveling, if you are home, stay safe and everybody enjoy the day! Don't forget that everything tastes better with a Pinch Of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

SPAM Loco Moco, Grandma's Recipe

Hola Amigos! It's still raining cats and dogs here and it will be for the rest of the weekend, not complaining, just saying...you all know how I feel about the white stuff so I prefer Rain to Snow anytime!
My creativity levels are down in the dumps and I'm hoping to play with my glue gun soon..till then I'm just cooking up little recipes here and there that make me happy!

For dinner tonight and leftover breakfast tomorrow I'm preparing my Grandma's Loco Moco! Oh yeah baby...nothing more comforting on a rainy afternoon than SPAM!!!...I know...the mystery meat..but once in a while it doesn't hurt! My grandma and my mom use to make this for us once in a while as a treat and it was so good...I could have eaten the whole thing by myself! Exactly what I'm doing today...

This is a house divided though, the hubs is a purist and he likes his Spam just fried, the kids on the other hand go either way, oh and another fact...there is a rule when it comes to SPAM, "you use a can, you replace a can", see, my hubs firmly believes that SPAM is the #1 Survival Food for Doomsday! We will be able to survive for months on Spam and water alone, LOL...I guess It could be worse, right? Anaywhooo...

Here is the super easy, super fast recipe for the tastiest treat ever!

Grandma's Loco Moco with SPAM

1 Can of your favorite SPAM
Half a Large Onion sliced
Half of a Bell Pepper, any color, diced
2 TBSP Tomato Paste
6 oz Diced Tomatoes. I used Rotel with Lime and Cilantro. It's spicy so if you don't like it spicy feel free to  use a different brand.
1 Cup Chicken Broth
Pinch of Sugar, salt, pepper and Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Cut your spam in stripes and fried in pan until golden outside. Set Aside
In a separate saucepan, with a little bit of oil saute the onions and bell peppers until the onions are transparent. Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Cook for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt, pepper and pepper flakes if you choose and cook for another 15 minutes until the sauce begins to thickens.
Add the previously fried Spam to the sauce until is heated up thoroughly.
To serve
1  Cup Jasmine Rice
1 Can Coconut Milk
Salt
Cook your Jazmin rice according to instructions, just replace the amount of water that you usually will used for the coconut milk with salt to taste.
1 Egg, Cooked or Fried
Grilled Pineapple Slices
Listo!

This is so good, salty, spicy and sweet at the same time.

With a cooked egg or fried it's delicious, it's just a matter of how you like them!



You can always serve it with more sauce or like we call it "Sofrito" on the side!

The Jasmine Rice brings the dish together and makes it a satisfying meal for adults and kids!
Thank You for stopping my friends and for sharing a taste of my  homeland comfort food with me today.

 Remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
Lizy

Marbled Deviled Eggs

Mamma What's Wrong With Those Eggs?

Hola Amigos! Happy Tuesday! I realized that I have my family trained when it comes to food, don't get me wrong, they can be harsh critics, but they expect certain dishes at certain times of the year and anything out of the usual timing, sends them all for a spin. Last Sunday when out of the blue I made Deviled Eggs, the first thing my husband said was..:"wait..is Easter next Sunday or something?".Mamma what happened to those eggs? are we hiding them now? my tot said...Cool Deviled Eggs, did you take a pic of them yet so I can eat them? my also trained  (blog wise trained too) teen asked.

No, to all of the above..I just wanted to try something I saw on Pinterest..(Insert collective Ohhh, followed by a What's Pinterest) ...and that's how my pinteresting Sunday Marbled Deviled Eggs started.
These are fun eggs to make, and they look so pretty..just only a bit of patience required to crack them in the right way so they all look like draped in colorful spider webs!...what makes me think these would be awesome for Halloween!!!!

Let's get the crackalaking going:

Don't they look absolutely awesome? This was for sure a Pinterest success!

Wonder what kind of chicken would lay eggs like this?

For the Deviled Eggs, well we all know how to make them and we all have our own recipes, so I won't bore you with that, I add to my mix some curry powder, smoked molasses seasoning and for heat,  a few (maybe 2) drops of Aji Chombo Sauce! A super spicy sauce derived from a truly C. chinense pepper mostly grown in the Amazon basin. It is known by that name in my country.

It takes longer to make these guys than for my boys to devour them! Down and gone! But I like to make them happy and surprise them with an out of season treat once in a while.

Hope you enjoyed my little Pinterest experiment and a few personal tips for your next batch of Deviled Eggs for this coming Easter. Remember, everything you make tastes better with a Pinch of Love!
