Baked Frittata With Potatoes, Mushrooms, Tomatoes & Goat Cheese

Having my own chickens, we have a regular supply of fresh eggs which is wonderful. There are days however, if I haven’t been in the kitchen baking that our egg dispenser in the refrigerator is literally over flowing. On those days, I throw together what I call my “refrigerator” frittata, and I make a big...

I have a number of chickens here in Florida including many different breeds. We give our eggs to neighbors, friends, and even some regular customers that frequent my husband’s restaurant Bicyclette Cookshop. I do love eggs, and eggs the same day that the chickens lay them are fantastic. In my attempt to use up my...

Zucchini, Ricotta, & Egg Pie

It seems every year I am forced to wait patiently for weeks for that very first mature zucchini to appear in my garden. I check the zucchini patch daily, but then after that first one is picked, they seem to come in fast and furious. From the point we have harvested that first zucchini, it...

Eggs Fried In Olive Oil With Black Olives

The best thing about having our own chickens is collecting fresh eggs every day. Our eggs are full of flavor with dark golden yolks, and although I love to use them in a variety of dishes, one of my favorite ways to enjoy them is to simply fry them in our olive oil along with...

Burrata With Warm Tomatoes & Olives

Living in Milan many years ago, we were very familiar with buffalo mozzarella. Still, we didn’t often see burrata, which originated from the Puglia region. Having visited Puglia many times since then, I have fallen in love with burrata, and we eat as much as we can when we are in Italy. If you are...

After taking a few months off over winter, my hens have started laying again. We presently have nine hens, and although I gift eggs to family and friends, they do tend to accumulate in my refrigerator. I use a lot of eggs when I bake, but when we end up with too many eggs, I...

Spaghetti Carbonara Pie

This is a fun recipe that kids of all ages enjoy. Best of all, it can be eaten for any meal of the day as it contains eggs, bacon, cheese, and spaghetti! Although spaghetti pies are a great way to use up leftover pasta, since this one requires an entire pound of spaghetti, unless you...

Frittata Caprese

Deborah — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 11:00:16 +0000

Having chickens is both a lot of work and very rewarding. Nothing is better than plucking newly laid eggs from the nesting box daily to use in my kitchen. Having ten hens, I get anywhere from four to eight eggs a day, so I am always looking for ways to incorporate them into my meals....
