Now it’s time to announce the finalists in the Eggchilada category!
Let’s meet our judge.
Plus, I would be remiss not to mention that I sorta have to love her because her name is Pepper. I mean how can you not love someone named Pepper?
But I digress....
In no particular order, here are Pepper’s picks (heh…alliteration…) for the three finalists in the Eggchilada category. Remember, ONE of these three Foodies will win a $50 Amazon gift card. ALL recipe contestants will be entered to win a free box of Quest bars and EVERYONE in the Foodie Nation will get ALL the recipes submitted. So we all win, right?
Eileen's Eggs Oscar
Ingredients:
- 1 egg + 1 egg white, beaten
- 5 stalks of asparagus (steamed to desired crispness)
- Crab meat (leftoevers work great or you can use imitation)
- 1 Laughing Cow or Alouette Light Cheese wedge, Garlic & Herb
- Cooking spray
Directions:
- Cook egg on a hot pay for a few minutes until crepe-like texture. Flip. Meanwhile heat asparagus in the microwave.
- Once egg is done on both sides spread cheese over one side, top with crab meat and asparagus.
- Roll the whole thing up and place seam side down to seal.
- Top with leftover cheese, asparagus and crab meat.
Briana's Buffalo Chicken Breadless Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute (depending on your capacity, I did 1/4 cup plus 2 TB)
- 1-2 oz of cooked, shredded chicken (again, depending on your capacity--I didn't about 1.5 oz)
- 1 TB of Frank's Buffalo sauce, or any other hot sauce (again, adjust for your preference, I like spicy)
- 1/2 string cheese (or a whole one if you wish, I used Weight Watchers Jalapeno string cheese)
- 1 TB Blue Cheese dressing (I used Wish Bone Fat Free, which I love!)
- Salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder to taste
- Whisk liquid eggs vigorously in a bowl until foamy, but not until peaks form. They should have lots of bubbles and look a bit bigger in volume. This will help make a sturdier "crust." Then stir in salt, pepper and garlic and onion powders.
- Transfer to a small skillet (about pancake sized) and let cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until mixture seems mostly set.
- In the meantime, mix shredded chicken with hot sauce (on a plate, in a bowl, anything) and microwave for 30 seconds, until heated through.
- Once the egg mixture seems mostly set, carefully flip over and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- While the egg mixture is cooking, pull apart the string cheese into shreds. Sprinkle chicken mix and shredded cheese over the top of your "crust."
- To help the cheese melt, take about 1 TB of water of pour into the pan, trying to stay closer to the edges (not directly on top of your pizza.) Quickly cover with a lid (or a plate, anything that will trap the steam.)
- Once the cheese has melted, slide out of the pan on to a plate. Drizzle Blue Cheese Dressing over the top and enjoy!
(NOTE: This recipe was originally attributed to the wrong person. My deepest apologies!)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp cold water
- 1/4 c feta cheese
- 1/8 tsp minced garlic
- Large handful of fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- Cooking spray
Directions:
- Whisk together egg and water. Cook on medium in a small pan until cooked through.
- While egg is cooking, add olive oil and minced garlic until golden to heated pan on medium. Add spinach to garlic and cook until the spinach is cooked down (approx 1 minute). Please note I like to tear my spinach as I am putting it into the pan to make it easier to eat.
- Once the egg and spinach is cooked, add feta cheese and spinach on top of egg and fold over.
Stay tuned for the finalists in the final category, protein! I gave the judge a little extra time since she had a marathon driving day yesterday (12 hours in the car - YOWSA!). Until then, which of these yummy
