Toad in the Hole

I used a tulip glass to cut a hole in a slice of sourdough bread sourced at the farmers market. I raised this particular egg from a chicken in my brother in law's backyard. This shell was particularly soft which did not bode well for the yoke once it hit the non stick skillet. The key to this dish is that you save and toast the remaining circle and place it on top. This emulates the toad hiding in the hole from its prey which it will inevitably catch with its tongue.

Name of Dish: Egg Ghotala (The word "ghotala" is loosely translated to mean "hodge podge" in Hindi)

Ingredients:
2 medium size Onions chopped
2 medium size Tomatoes, chopped
1 Serrano pepper, chopped (substitute: Jalapeno if you want to tone down the heat)
2 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tsp Pav Bhaji masala (substitute: Garam Masala)
1 tsp Ginger Garlic paste
Salt per taste
¼ cup Water
2-3 Egg, hard boiled, grated
3 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
1 small Butter, cube (for topping the prepared dish)

In a medium saucepan pan, add the butter, once it's melted, add the onion, and saute until translucent, 5-7 minutes.

Add the tomato and the diced serrano pepper and saute another 5-7 minutes.

Add red chilli powder, "Pav Bhaji" masala, ginger garlic paste and cook on medium flame some more.

At this point, use a potato masher to mash the contents of the pan.

Now add little water and mix it well. Add grated, boiled egg, chopped cilantro and mix everything well. Season as needed with salt.



Now you can go 3 ways with this:

1) Enjoy it like it is as shown here. Can add some bread of your choice (potato rolls in pic here)





2) Add a nice fried egg on top with more grated boiled egg and associated seasoning (chili powder, pav bhaji masala, salt)



3) This is where you go outside the box a tad bit. You crack open an egg and season it with same aforementioned seasonings, add couple teaspoons of water to it so its not as thick, add it to buttered pan and cook a thin crepe-esque omelette. Now fill in the cooked mixture and then make anice pocket. This way you have an omelette, fried egg as well as the cooked grated boiled egg mixture. Garnish with cilantro, seasonings and more grated egg and here is the product.







Attaching image of the Pav Bhaji masala if anyone ever wants to give this recipe a shot. Can be found at any Indian Grocery store (Fashion India off Coursey being one)




Pic are prolly not the greatest quality so apologies for that. But the dish comes out really good. Not as good as what my buddy makes it but i enjoyed it. Hope yall do too if you ever try it

ETA: I need to do a better job in sequencing the pics starting with ingredients etc as well in the future. Lesson learned :)

Mine are nothing fancy, we just happened to have a ton of eggs at our house that were about to expire, so I made two.

First up was street corn deviled eggs. I saw them posted here a few years ago, so using that recipe. I'm the only one in my house that will eat them, so I like to make them when we get together with friends. Just so happened we were going to a BBQ for the 4th.

Street Corn Deviled Eggs
12 hardboiled eggs
1 cup mayo
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Splash of vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 crumbled cotija, plus more for garnishing
1 cup harred corn, plus more for garnishing
1 handful Cilantro, plus more for garnishing
Paprika



I like to use the InstantPot for hardboiled eggs. I prefer a cook time of 7 minutes, with a 7 minute natural release and 7 minute ice bath.





While those are cooking chop up your Cilantro and throw the corn in the broiler. I personally despise Cilantro, so I used green onions instead.





Next is just the normal deviled egg process.







Instead of paprika I used Jay D's BBQ rub, and the hot sauce was something my boss sent me for Christmas from a local place in Salt Lake.



Final product. We had a crazy amount of food Sunday, but this was the only dish that was eaten completely. They are always a huge hit.

Second entry, because we still had a ton of eggs.

Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes
Russet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Bacon
Eggs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Green onion



I like to make my bacon in the over, so it cooks evenly.



I always use my trusty potato bag to bake potatoes instead of using the oven. They turn out perfect every time.



Once the potatoes are cooked, shell out the filling and put in a bowl. If youre potatoes aren't flat, you'll want to cut a little of the bottom side so the potato lays flat.



Now mix the cheese, butter and cream with the potato filling and dish back onto the potatoes.





Cover with bacon and then crack your egg into the center.





Bake at 375 for 18 to 24 minutes, I don't remember how long I did mine.



Top with cheese and green onion and put back in the oven until the cheese melts.



Simple dish, but it was tasty. Would be easy to do when company is over because you could just make one big pan of them. Not as original as some of the entries I'm seeing, but hey I got rid of a bunch of eggs.

I like that the challenges include both relatable dishes that others can replicate, as well as over the top creative dishes that we can aspire to, and I think people who view the threads would agree.

Pretty sure the tobiko caused a reaction not allowing the meringue to set & cook properly

My guess would be that fat from the eggs hindered the protein chains from binding together.

Egg in the nest - two ways:



The contest has exceeded the best I ever thought F&D would ever achieve. I am truly impressed.

This post is just to support Darla's efforts.

Need:

A couple of slices of bread - Wheat here.
Eggs (one per slice)
Butter
Salt and Black pepper
Bacon (Because)



Directions:

Make a hole in the bread large enough to accommodate the egg



I like to butter toast the removed portion. Never turn down a portion of buttered toast.






Add bread and butter to the medium hot skillet



Then the egg, salt and pepper.



If the heat is proper, the bread will have toasted and the yolk will be creamy.



Serve with bacon.










Fry the egg in butter.



Place on top of the buttered toast.



Serve, in the case beside the egg in a hole (nest)







I love buttered toast and fried eggs with runny yolks.

Simple, good food.

I really wanted to try a layer of cheese in it but was afraid it would melt out and be a mess. If I had not procrastinated until the day of, I would have tried a second one with it. I may try with some normal boiled eggs because I really want to know

There are things that look good on a plate and there are things that look good that I know would taste good. Well done.

Drunken Noodles with Bulgogi and Marinated Egg

I had actually been wanting to do soy marinated eggs for a while, so this contest was the perfect reason. Wasn't really feeling ramen, so I went in a different direction with the drunken noodles.

First up, I marinated the meat for bulgogi. It has Asian pear, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochugang, and soy sauce. The pear and ginger were grated, the garlic was minced. Mix everything in bowl and and in the beef. I used presliced top round this time. I had been using flank steak, but I can never slice it as thin as needed. This marinated a total of 3 days.





Next up was the marinated egg. I did a soft boil on the eggs (6.5 mins) and set them in ice water. The marinade is soy, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic, gochgaru, and water. Brought to a boil and simmered for a few minutes. After it cooled down, I poured it over the peeled eggs and covered the bowl. I did this about 4 hours before I was ready to cook dinner. They can sit for 2 days in the fridge as well.




First up for the noodle dish, half Brussels sprouts and place on pan. Oil, salt, and roast for 20 mins at 425.



Sauté onions and bell peppers.



In a separate pan, I started sautéing mushrooms and garlic. I forgot to take a pic of this step. When the onions had browned, I put them in the pan with the mushrooms and added chopped kale and diced serranos.

Time to sear the bulgogi, working in small batches. When they were all done, I tossed in green onions and sesame seeds.




Used the thickest noods the Asian market had



After the kale cooked down, I added in the sprouts. For the sauce, I mixed in soy, rice vinegar, a dash of fish sauce, and gochugang.



Mixed in noodles and plated. Sprinkled sesame seeds on the eggs and garnished with cilantro.




Egg money shot:

I would suggest since he's not in the industry this is off the charts.

These threads kick the shite out of whatever lame cooking shows the Food Network is peddling out these days.
