Easter Brunch


Since I am spending Easter away from the family this year I decided to cook brunch for my neighbor and good friend Bridget.  In return she helped me document the experience!

Brunch Menu:

- Freshly juiced watermelon
- Eggs in a nest with veggie sausage patties
- Dessert, carrots!?!?

If you happen to have a juicer I recommend juicing a watermelon.  It's extremely refreshing.  Plus it's a really pretty pink!

Eggs in a nest


Ingredients:
Hash Browns
Eggs



Directions:

Spray cupcake tray with cooking spray before placing the hash browns.  Follow directions of the hash browns (varies based on brand you prefer).  When the hash browns are just about done start making your scrambled eggs.  About 6 eggs was perfect for one tray of nests.  A tip to make scrambled eggs nice and fluffy.  Just add a tiny bit of water and cook on the low heat.  It takes a little bit longer, but tastes so much better. Once the eggs are cooked just scope into your hash brown nests and there you go.  Eggs in a nest!



Dessert Carrots



Ingredients:

Strawberries
White baking chocolate
Red and yellow food coloring

Directions:

All you need to do is melt the white chocolate baking bars over the stove, on low heat, until liquified.  Be careful not to over cook! Add a tiny bit of red and a little bit of yellow food coloring until it is the color you are looking for.  Mix and dip in the strawberries.  Place the strawberries on a drying rack to let the chocolate harden before eating.  Enjoy!
