  • Breakfast Muffins

    Breakfast Muffins

    These delectable Breakfast Muffins are loaded with pork sausage, sweet red bell peppers, green chiles, and sharp cheddar for a hearty and delicious start to your day. They are the perfect on-the-go breakfast or light snack for busy families.
    Start your day off right with this mouth-watering, savory breakfast muffin recipe that is sure to satisfy your breakfast cravings. These sausage cheddar Breakfast Muffins make crazy mornings a tad bit easier. They can be prepared ahead of time and then popped into the microwave for a quick 20-second reheat, and presto, breakfast is served. It is the perfect hand-held breakfast for eating in the car, and they freeze well for up to 3 months. If you liked this quick and easy recipe, try my fried egg sandwich, steak and eggs, sheet pan pancakes, and sausage gravy.

    Ingredients Needed

    For this recipe, you will need all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, freshly ground black pepper, ground cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, pork sausage, red bell pepper, buttermilk, eggs, green chiles, cheddar cheese, and butter.

    How to Make Breakfast Muffins
    First, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Set it aside for just a few minutes. In a large skillet, brown the sausage. Drain any excess fat, add the red peppers, and cook for a couple more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and let it cool while you complete the next step.
    Now, in a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add the flour mixture and stir just until roughly combined. Add the sausage mixture, drained green chiles, cubed cheddar cheese, and melted butter. Mix just until combined. Finally, divide the batter evenly in the prepared muffin pan, filling close to the top. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and set.
    Recipe Tips
    Spray your muffin pan well with nonstick baking spray, or use paper liners.
    Use good quality sharp or smoked cheddar cheese. Other cheeses that work well with this recipe are pepper jack, Monterey Jack, gouda, mozzarella, and gruyere.
    If you don’t want to purchase buttermilk, make your own. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar or one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of milk and let it sit for five minutes. Use promptly or place in the fridge till you are ready.
    Other proteins to try include ham and bacon.
    You can use any colored bell pepper in this recipe, but I like the sweetness of red bell pepper and the contrasting color with the green chiles.
    Other vegetables to add include onion, mushrooms, spinach, potato, broccoli, or sweet potatoes.
    Always preheat the oven and load the muffins on the middle rack in the center of the oven.

    Storage and Reheat
    Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power or wrapped in a foil tent in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

    To freeze, cool completely, place the muffins back in the cooled muffin tin, and place on a level surface in the freezer. Once frozen, put them in a freezer zipper bag and freeze for up to 3 months. This technique is called flash freezing, and it allows you to take one or as many muffins out of the freezer bag as you want, as they will not be stuck together.

    Easy Chocolate Mousse recipe

    This easy Chocolate Mousse recipe needs only 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep. It’s a seriously simple homemade dessert that’s completely luscious!

    When my husband and I first started dating, he sort of laid his cards on the table immediately and told me that he’s not a chocolate, flower, or card giver. I told him that I need the toilet seat down, kitchen sink sponge run out, and a phone call if he’s running late.

    Almost 20 years later, I can tell you I have not missed receiving candy, flowers, or cards. He makes up for it 1,000 fold by doing everything else. Literally. BUT, I do love chocolate, flowers, and cards. I’m not crazy! So, you know what? I simply buy them for myself!

    I whip up this easy chocolate mousse regularly, and you should, too. Everyone will love you forever. It’s sublime.

    Ingredients

    1/2 cup (4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

    1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

    1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)

    1/2 cup whole milk

    1 cup heavy whipping cream

    3 tablespoons powdered sugar

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    Mix together the chocolate, salt, and espresso powder (if using) in a medium bowl. Heat milk until steaming and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until combined and smooth. Allow to cool fully. In another medium bowl, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes. Gently fold into the cooled melted chocolate. Pour mixture into 4 (4 ounce) ramekins or small tumbler glasses. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. Dollop with some whipped cream and chocolate shavings and enjoy!

  • Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf with Mushroom and Vegetable Filling

    Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf with Mushroom and Vegetable Filling

    Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf with Mushroom and Vegetable Filling

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Meatloaf

      • Minced meat: 600 g (can be beef, pork, or a mix)
      • Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
      • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
      • Egg: 1 large
      • Breadcrumbs: 2 tablespoons
      • Salt: To taste
      • Black pepper: To taste
      • Cheese: 100 g, grated (choose a cheese that melts well, like cheddar or mozzarella)
    • Mayonnaise: 2-3 tablespoons

    For the Filling

      • Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
      • Carrot: 1 medium, grated
      • Mushrooms: 200 g, chopped
      • Mayonnaise: 1 tablespoon
      • Salt: To taste
      • Black pepper: To taste
      • Oil: For frying
      • Spices: To taste (optional, such as paprika or thyme)

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Filling

      1. Heat the Oil: In a skillet, add a small amount of oil and heat over medium heat.
      2. Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and grated carrot to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 3-5 minutes.
      3. Add Mushrooms: Stir in the chopped mushrooms, cooking until they are soft and the excess moisture has evaporated.

    Step 2: Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture

      1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the minced meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
    1. Shape the Meatloaf: On a piece of parchment paper, shape the meat mixture into a flat rectangle (about 1-1.5 cm thick). This will make it easier to add the filling and roll the meatloaf.

    Step 3: Add the Filling and Cheese

      1. Spread the Filling: Spread the prepared mushroom, onion, and carrot filling evenly over the flattened meat mixture.
      2. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the filling. This will create a gooey, cheesy center in the meatloaf when baked.

    Step 4: Roll and Assemble the Meatloaf

    1. Roll the Meatloaf: Carefully use the parchment paper to help roll the meat mixture into a loaf, sealing the filling and cheese inside. Press down on the edges to ensure the meatloaf is tightly sealed.
    2. Top with Mayonnaise: Spread 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise over the top of the meatloaf. This will help the meatloaf stay moist and develop a beautiful golden-brown crust as it bakes.

    Step 5: Bake the Meatloaf

      1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    1. Bake the Meatloaf: Transfer the rolled meatloaf to a baking dish or loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the meatloaf is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
    2. Let It Rest: Once the meatloaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making it easier to slice.

    Ingredients

      • 170g cabbage, shredded
      • 1/3 tsp salt (for marinating cabbage)
      • 15g green onion, chopped
      • 2 chili peppers (30g), chopped
      • 1 bowl of cooked rice
      • 1/5 tsp black pepper
      • 1/4 tsp salt
      • 1/5 tsp chili powder
      • 3 eggs, beaten
      • 2 tbsp cornstarch
      • Cooking oil for frying

    Directions

      1. Marinate Cabbage: Shred the cabbage and mix it with 1/3 tsp of salt. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
      2. Prepare Other Ingredients: While the cabbage is marinating, chop the green onion and chili peppers.
      3. Mix Ingredients: After 10 minutes, squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage. In a large bowl, combine the marinated cabbage, green onion, chopped chili, cooked rice, black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, chili powder, beaten eggs, and cornstarch. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
    1. Form Fritters: Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the mixture and flatten it into a patty shape.
    2. Fry Fritters: Place the patties in the skillet and fry until one side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown and crispy as well. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Cooking Tips

      • Ensure the cabbage is well-marinated and squeezed to avoid excess moisture, which can make the fritters soggy.
      • Adjust the amount of chili peppers and chili powder to suit your spice preference.
