I decided this year to wander through the market and see what spoke to me for Christmas dinner... I came home with this list:
- Bone-in Ribeye Roast
- Baby Bells
- Portabellas
- Potatoes
- Tarragon
- Arugula
- Other stuff
Now I have to decide what to do. But here's something that's a given... Baked Eggs, and Custard Style French Toast for Christmas morning breakfast...

Baked Egg all ready to go |
They are some simple to do, and have been a Christmas morning regular for years now.
Here's the simple method:
- Take a ramekin, coat with butter, sprinkle with Panko or breadcrumbs,
- Crack an egg into it
- Pour some whipping cream over it
- Add a dash or two of Tabasco
- Grate some nutmeg on top of it
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper
- Sprinkle some shredded Parmesan
- Bake in a shallow water bath at 350F for about 9 minutes or until eggs are just starting to set... remember, eggs will continue to cook after removing from the oven.

Ready to go in the oven - just need to add a water bath |
And the other thing I often do is my favorite French toast...

Custard style French Toast |
This is also a simple method:
- I use Texas Toast.
- I crack some eggs
- Add some whole milk, cinnamon, orange zest, and a touch of sugar.
- Whisk it all together, and dip the bread in it.
- Then I arrange the bread on a baking sheet, and pour the remaining egg mixture on top of it and allow it to soak it all up until the bread is saturated.
- Then, I either bake in it the oven at 350F, or I cook it on a griddle over medium heat.
The bread turns out with a soft custard consistency in the middle... IT'S SO GOOD!!!
Anyway, wish me luck on my Ribeye production... got to let some ideas simmer in my head for a bit.
