Baked Egg "Mc" Muffins
These are the real Egg McMuffins! They are actual muffins with baked eggs in them. Not only are they tasty, but they are quick and easy to make in the morning. This all made possible thanks to the techniques from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, where you make a big batch of dough and the stick it in the fridge.
By: Luke
Directions:
- To make baked eggs you simply pull out a piece of dough, roll it flat and then cut it into pieces. You place each piece of dough into the cup of a greased muffin tin. Here is where the fun starts and you can begin to add various ingredients. We were boring and just went for tomatoes and cheddar, but you could could get wild and add in bacon or ham. If you want to get really crazy, go for some spinach and feta. Once you have the oven pre-heated to 375, you bake the muffins for 15 minutes. Drizzle with a little melted butter...delicious

Gougeres
YUMMMM….Cheesy, puffy, goodness! That basically sums up gougeres. The recipe makes at least 4 dozen cheese puffs, so it’s a good, simple recipe for a cocktail party or dinner party appetizer. And people will certainly be impressed!
We don’t have a pastry bag, but cutting off the corner of a zip-lock bag and squeezing the cheese [...]
By: Carolyn
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted buter, cut into tablespoons
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4-5 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups finely grated Gruyere (about 4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Rounded 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspooon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Put racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly butter them.
- Combine water, butter and salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring until butter is melted.
- Reduce heat to moderate, add flour all at once, and cook, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from sides of pan, about 30 seconds. Continue to cook and stir to remove excess moisture for about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well with wooden spoon after each addition; batter will appear to separate but will become smooth once beaten. Mixture should be glossy and just stiff enough to hold soft peaks and fall softly from a spoon. If it is too stiff, beat remaining egg in a small bowl and add to batter 1 teaspoon at a time, beating and then testing batter after each addition until it reaches desired consistency.
- Stir in cheeses, nutmeg and pepper.
- Fill pastry bag with batter and pipe fifteen 1-inch-diameter mounds 1 inch apart onto each baking sheet. Bake, switching positions of sheets halfway through baking, until puffed, golden, and crisp, about 30 minutes total. Serve warm.
