I just read your need to use pears. My FSIL made a pear and brie frittata this weekend for my shower using the pears from their tree and it was so good!
It would be nice for brunch - or whenever really.
Re: MN4L
mmnnn sounds very tasty! I have yet to try cooking a frittata - what type of dish are you supposed to cook it in? pie plate or casserole or something with a lid??
My favorite pear meal from last year was pears & maple syrup on pork.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I second that frittata! Twas splendid!
The Turkey Bacon doesn't taste "exactly" like real bacon, but has that smoky salty taste with a lot less fat. I just feel better eating it.
Here's the Turkey Montecristo recipe. I got it from Clean Eating Magazine.
A Better Monte Cristo Sandwich (in 15 minute meals category! WOO for time savers!)
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 lb turkey breast scallopini, cut into 4oz pieces
2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tbsp skim milk
cayenne pepper, to taste
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
8 slices whole grain bread
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 pear, thinly sliced
4 1oz slices low fat Swiss Cheese
Instructions:
In a small bowl, season turkey with 1 tsp oil, oregano, s&p
Heat a non-stick saute pan over med-high heat. Add turkey and saute until light golden at edges and fully cooked throughout, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together egg whites and milk. Season with s&p and cayenne. Set aside.
Spread about 1tsp (adjust to taste) dijon mustard on 1 side of each bread slice and place, Dijon side up, onto a flat work surface. Layer equal parts spinach, pear and turkey onto 4 slices of bread. Top each stack with 1 slice cheese and another slice of bread, dijon side down, pressing gently.
In a medium nonstick saute pan, heat remaining tsp oil over med heat.
Using a spatula, carefully dip 1 side of a sandwich into egg mixture (egg mixture should go about halfway up the bread when immersed). With your hand on top of the sandwich and spatula underneath, carefully flip to immerse the other side in the egg, then gently transfer to hot pan. Saute sandwich, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes total. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
