Posted on Jan. 27th 2013 No Comments »

French Breakfast Radishes with Butter and Sea Salt

French breakfast radishes are milder than regular radishes and their elongated shape makes them perfect for dipping. This recipe inspired from Williams-Sonoma.

  • 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 bunches French breakfast radishes, chilled, trim off the stems and root ends
  • 1 1/2 to 2 Tablespoons course sea salt

In a small bowl, whip the butter with a fork until light and fluffy. Transfer to a ramekin or small serving bowl for dipping or spreading and place alongside the radishes on a platter or serving tray. Place a mound of the sea salt on the platter or in a small bowl for sprinkling and serve.

Potato Frittata

This frittata makes a nice brunch or dinner. The recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens.

  • 1 
pound Yukon gold or russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced
  • 2 
tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 
large carrots, thinly sliced
  • 12 
eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2
cup chopped green onions (4)
  • 1/4
teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
  • 1/2
cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 
clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh snipped parsley and/or cilantro

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet cook potatoes in hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add carrots; cook for 5 minutes, until potatoes and carrots are tender and lightly browned, turning occasionally

In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, half the green onions, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, about 18 minutes or until frittata appears dry on top. Remove frittata from oven. Let stand on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, for topper, in a small bowl gently toss together remaining green onions, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.

With a spatula, loosen edges of frittata from skillet. Place a large serving platter over skillet. Using two hands, invert platter and skillet to release frittata onto platter. Cut frittata in wedges. Serve with green onion topper.
