Best Sleepy Twisted Sisters G N G Breakfast Ramekin Recipes

CUMIN POTATOES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix (with your hands) the potatoes, onion, cumin, cinnamon, oil, salt and pepper.
• Spread this mixture evenly in a baking dish (I use a 20 cm by 26 cm).
• Pour the crushed tomatoes and any juices over the potatoes.
• Pour water into the pan.
• Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• After this time, reduce oven temperature to 180°C, remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened.

AN ARABIC BREAKFAST

Steps:

• In a small frypan, put enough olive oil to nearly cover the bottom.
• Fry chunks of white cheese until golden on each side (but don't overdo it).
• Put along with oil onto small serving plate.
• Clean the frypan (or use another one) and use it to make Arabic style scrambled eggs.
• Place two tablespoons of olive oil in the pan along with 3 eggs and salt to taste (about 3 pinches).
• Lightly turn it with a fork (Arabic scrambled eggs aren't as scrambled as the 'normal' version) until there is no longer any egg liquid (it should only just be cooked no more).
• Put olives in a serving bowl.
• Put about 1/2 cup of zaatar in a serving bowl.
• Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a serving bowl and serve alongside zaatar.
• Cut tomatoes into wedges.
• Sprinkle small amount of salt over wedges (optional).
• Cut the ends off the cucumbers and slice each into 4 long strips.
• Put tomato wedges and cucumbers onto serving plate.
• Serve labaneh with olive oil drizzled on top.
• Serve mortadella sliced.
• Heat the Arabic bread either by using the stove top (gas ovens) and turning frequently or heating each piece in the microwave for 30 seconds (not the authentic way of doing it!) Make tea in pot as per usual but with the dried sage or mint added.
• Serve in Arabic teacups (usually small glass ones) with between 1-2 teaspoons sugar in each.
• (Note: mint needs less sugar than sage) Serve all of the above.
• The traditional way is to place a large tablecloth on the floor and eat seated on the ground.
• Eat with Arabic bread.

INDIVIDUAL BREAKFAST CASSEROLES

Steps:

• Prheat oven to 400°F.
• Drain thawed potatoes and make sure there is no excess water on them.
• Spray the inside of an 8 ounce casserole dish or ramekin with non-stick cooking spray.
• Press potatoes into the bottom of the ramekin.
• Place ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are lightly browned around the edges.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-12 minutes.
• Right after removing from oven, reduce oven temp to 350°F.
• In a small saucepan, saute the peppers, onion, and jalapeno until tender, 5-7 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg and the cream, add the minced garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spray the top of the potatoes and sides of the ramekin again with a little more cooking spray (I like butter-flavored).
• Place half the cheese on top of the potatoes in the ramekin.
• Cover this cheese with the sauteed peppers and onion.
• Pour egg mixture over that.
• Top with remaining cheese.
• Carefully place ramekin on a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until set, puffy, and golden.
• Allow to rest 5-10 minutes after cooking.
• Then run a knife around the edges of the ramekin, and invert onto a serving plate.
• Tap lightly, and carefully lift ramekin away from casserole.
• Serve warm.
