30 minute recipe

January 18th, 2010

I cooked the first meal from this book this week.  It was a fine meal for one that only took thirty minutes.  I actually don’t think it even took that long.  Super fast, super easy and the kids really liked it which made it a winner.  So, the first recipe is a hit, in it’s way.   The first thing I had to do was reconstitute the mushrooms for the porcini butter.  This was probably the most time consuming part of the entire thing since it has to sit for a while.

Here they are, just waiting to plump up.  Once they did, I minced them and mixed them into butter which I used to cook the eggs in and to butter the bread.  I lightly butter the toast, but it would have been tastier had I generously buttered the toast!!!

These are all the ingredients ready to go.  Everything here are basically pantry staples save for the prosciutto.  That isn’t on my staple list, but I’m sure it is in many homes.

There it is all put together.  I made an enormous green salad to go along with it.  I just was really hungry so I forgot to wait to take a photo of the meal with the salad on the plate.  As easy as this meal was, I think my favourite part was the salad.  With the prosciutto, the eggs were too salty for me.  That’s actually saying alot since I do like salt….

Enjoying the journey,  Amanda
