frittata

basically a baked omelette

the fillings can change but this is my fav:

2 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 eggs
2 ounces smoked salmon
2 ounces baby shrimp, thawed and drained
2 ounces crabmeat, drained
2 tablespoon chives, chopped
2 tablespoon mascarpone (or cream cheese)
2 tablespoon sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

melt the butter in a non stick pan over medium heat
whip eggs til well blended
pour into non stick pan
and with a rubber spatula move the egg around abit to bring the cooked surface into the middle (makes it cook faster)
add seafood , chives and mascarpone
season with salt and pepper
stir again once to incorporate
stick in a 350 F oven for 12-15 minutes til bake through
top with sour cream before serving

variations: grilled chicken, spinach, artichoke hearts and swiss cheese
grilled lamb, spinach and brie instead of seafood and mascarpone

Chocolate cheesecake with almond crust

Unsweetened Chocolate Squares (I use Baker's)
8 ounce cream cheese
6 packets of Splenda
Lemon juice
Vanilla extract
Heavy Whipping Cream

1 cup ground almonds

Spray bottom of pan with nonstick spray and press in ground almonds

Take cream cheese out of fridge and let it sit out and reach room temperture (or microwave for 25 seconds)

In a bowl, pour 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 6 packets of Splenda and blend together (handheld blender). When it starts to thicken, add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon juice or to your taste, blend a bit more.

Take unsweetened chocolate squares (you can use half square if you'd like) and add a tablespoon of butter and put in microwave for 1 minute.

Mix chocolate until it is smooth.

Add chocolate and cream cheese to whipping cream and blend until thick.

Chill for 1 hour or overnight
