Lazy Saturday Bombay Toast

It's Saturdayyy.... 

I love Saturdays! You get to sleep in... laze around all day... eat whatever you can find at home... watch your favorite shows... and then go back to sleep again.

Yes, thats how my Saturdays usually roll! Today, I was so lazy I couldn't even bring myself to leave the house to buy some much needed groceries. All I had in my fridge was some eggs, bread and some cheese slices.

Well, thats a making for some nice egg sandwich right? Not feeling much for any regular egg sandwich, I made myself some Bombay Toast!

I like the oozy cheese :D

Whats that? Well, some people call it a French Toast. Some call it Bombii Toast.. In mamaks they call it a Bombay Toast.

These toasts are usually filled with peanut butter or cheese. The coat of egg on the outside is usually a little sweet. My aunt used to make these for me when I was young.... Plain bread coated with sweetened eggs for breakfast just before going to school :) :) :) :)

Anyway, instead of sweetened eggs, I made my savory by adding pepper and salt instead of some sugar. Sandwiched two slices of whole grain bread with a slice of cheese in the middle, coated the outside of the bread then fried them on a generous layer of hot oil.

After I was done, it occurred to me - my Bombay Toast is just a messed up, inside out sandwich.

I do not know why I felt that I needed to put up so many pictures of my flat inside out egg sandwich :P
But I hope you like it! 

It's a Good and Cheap Eat post :D

Spreading the Word: Foodie Blogroll Contest and Foy's Frittata reicpe

Woke up this morning, (well it wasn't really morning anymore) and as usual the first thing I did was to check on my blog. Ever since I joined Foodie Blogroll, I've gotten really excited to see how many people have visited my site and left me nice little comments :)

I never knew that there were so many food bloggers like me out there! So MANY! Which also means SO MANY different types of delicious looking food!!! Oh damn you Foodie Blogroll! Bringing me more and more of these tempting pictures of gorgeous treats!!!! Slurp*


Foodie Blogroll is also really fun because once in awhile, there'd be little contests and giveaways for us bloggers to join. I've never been one to like participating in contests, but this looks fun :) I don't even know if it's eligible for people outside the US, but... ah well - no harm trying, right? The Foodie Blogroll is giving away an adorable tote bag, and all we need to do is shout about it in either our blogs, Facebook or Twitter. So here I am. Shouting :P

This is the tote bag that is to be won!

I was looking through my newfound blogger friends, and I saw a post by the lovely blogger behind Foy Update with a Frittata with Wild Onion, Potato, Goats Cheese and Thyme recipe (http://foyupdate.blogspot.com/2010/06/frittata-with-wild-onion-potato-goat.html). It looked beautiful and amazingly delicious.... and my stomach was beginning to grumble: It's 11.30am... feed me!!

It's genius! I've never had a Frittata (or heard of it before) but I loved the concept... potatoes, eggs and cheese! All my favorite foods! Perfect for  breakfast  brunch!

Soaking dried shitake mushrooms

Luckily I had everything needed for the recipe, plus some left over veggies... I didn't have what the recipe asked for exactly, but I make do with what I had.

What I did for my version of a leftover-stuff-in-fridge Frittata (Foy's looks much more professional, of course!)

• Onions, sliced Shitake Mushrooms, Asparagus
• Eggs
• Potatoes
• Pepper and Salt to taste
• Cheese (Cheddar slices)

Boiling potatoes

Boiled slices of potatoes till I could poke a fork in it. Then I sauteed it with lots of butter, and added in the onions, Shitake Mushroms and Asparagus to be coated in butter too. 

Arranged it on a pan (that could go on the stove as well as in the oven) and poured beaten eggs (seasoned with salt and pepper) over the potatoes. I cooked it on the stove for a little while till the sides were a little hard, then I topped it off with cheese. 
Baked it for about 15 minutes till the cheese melted and browned.


I couldn't wait (or more like my tummy couldn't wait) for it to finish baking! The aroma of cheese and eggs and butter was making my head light.

My Frittatas - couldn't and wouldn't try to make it look prettier (mostly because I was too hungry to care!) 

I didn't even wait for it to cool.. I cut a slice. Then another.. then another. Now I'm thinking of another....

My brother walked in and went:  Is that Pizza?
Me:  :(

Ridiculously Easy! Insanely Delicious!

Baking itch.. baking itch... baking itch...
        Arghhh!! NO! NO! NO!
        On a diet... on a diet... On A DIET~!!!

DOMO! : How the heck do you run a baking blog when you're on a friggin' diet?!
Me :  :(
20 minutes later.....

Guess what this is. Ice-creaaaa....? Nope, it isn't ice cream.

It's my Frozen Banana Cream Cup!

Frozen Banana Cream Cup!

Fooled you didn't I?

It's healthy, Ohmygod! delicious and impossibly easy to make. Most importantly, eat it guilt FREE! (ok maybe 3% guilt because of the whipped cream... ) It tastes like thick, rich banana ice cream....

Heres how you do it:

• Take 3 ripe, frozen bananas (Cavendish Bananas taste creamier - I love DOLE, but any other brands would do fine)
• One spoonful of honey
• Two table spoons of milk

Blend them all in a food processor, and serve with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles :)

Dole bananas are slightly richer and creamier in taste. For the perfect ice cream texture :D

Enjoy your breakfast-dessert! 

And if you want it a little less creamy, and a little more smoothie - add more milk! You'll get a delicious smooth banana shake! Which makes this post now, perfect for this submission:
