Eggs & Cheese

Breakfast - Monday, February 8th, 2010.
Subjects - Us, Hubby's parents & 2 Grandmas, Becky
Since these were breakfast foods and we already had dinner planned for Sunday, I agreed to delay a day because we would still have plenty of company in the morning to help test.

Quiche Lorraine - This was so loved by Bryan's parents they came back for more the next weekend. :)  I accidentally didn't turn down the temp like your supposed to 15 minutes into baking so it came out much better than the first time.  I'll turn it down some in the future because the pasty gets a little too brown, but if you turn it down like it says your cheese won't melt.  It's wonderful when you mess up and it turns out better.



Brunch Oven Omelet - I really liked this.  Hunter and Lexi did not, and I don't know what anyone else thought because they had filled up on crepes and quiche by the time it was done.

Sorry no pictures :(

Desserts

Dinner - Sunday, January 31st, 2010.
Subjects - Us, Hubby's older sister, younger sister & fiance, youngest sister & family.

 Divine Caramel Sauce - This is not as yellow as it looks in the picture.  This was too elastic.  It's like I should have cooked it longer and just made Caramels.  The taste is good on things but there's got to be a better recipe somewhere with a different texture.


Creme Brulee - Once again this link takes you to a much better recipe than the one I made from my book, which was great as eggnog but didn't set up at all.  Oh well, at least I have a different recipe to try now.  Katie was excited to hear I was making this because she knows it from High School Musical.
