It’s that wonderful time of year again when I can just walk right into our backyard and grab fresh herbs from our garden!  In another month or so, we’ll be putting our veggies into the ground and enjoying fresh peppers, tomatoes, and so much more!

Oh, those Jersey tomatoes!  It doesn’t get any better during the summer!  They’re meaty, sweet, and a little tangy.  Basically, they’re perfection!

So all summer long, you’ll find me making Caprese salad.  We never get sick of Caprese salad!  Especially when they’re made with tomatoes and basil from our backyard!  A little salt and a drizzle of olive oil is all you need to finish off this dish of tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella!


The return of springtime and warmer weather has me craving fresh flavors once again.  So I decided to make a breakfast or brunch worthy Caprese that you’ll find me enjoying all spring and summer long! 

I’m sharing a recipe for Poached Eggs Caprese on SoFabFood.com today.  Tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella are layered on top of an English muffin spread with pesto.  Top with a poached egg and you’ve got a fresh and delicious way to start the day! 

And don’t be intimidated by poached eggs.  They’re easier to make than you think!  Head to the recipe post and see for yourself!

This Hatfield Ham, Asparagus, and Egg Tart is a delicious way to use up Easter leftovers or serve an easy and flavorful, one pan and done spring dish for brunch!


Do you have your Easter plans all set and ready to go? Easter is just a couple weeks away and, while our plans aren’t set in stone just yet, one thing’s for sure – there will be ham on the table!  Like most holidays, we split our Easter celebration between both sides of the family.  That means, we usually come home with leftovers.  That’s my favorite part of any holiday meal! 

Since we have two Easter celebrations each year, there’s usually a decent amount of leftovers to freeze or reheat for days after!  Leftover ham is always delicious reheated in slices for breakfast with eggs or used in a cheesy calzone for dinner.  But this time of year, I’m all about eating seasonally and incorporating the flavors of spring into our meals!


Ham is about to become the star of most Easter tables.  But it’s also become a big part of our dinner table, in general.  We keep Hatfield Ham Steaks from ACME in the freezer to use as a convenient breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.  They’re already fully cooked making mealtime a breeze! 

Not only are they really tasty, they’re so easy to incorporate into recipes, as well!  Just look at how easy it was to use Hatfield Ham Steaks in my Low Carb Cauliflower Hawaiian Fried Rice recipe! 

Celebrate the flavors of spring with this easy Hatfield Ham, Asparagus, and Egg Tart!

 
With Easter coming up, I wanted to use Hatfield Ham Steaks to make a spring-inspired Ham, Asparagus, and Egg Tart. This easy tart is made with a puff pastry crust, homemade dijonnaise, Gruyère cheese, ham, asparagus, and eggs.  When I say this tart is easy to make, I mean it!  It’s basically a one pan and done dish! 

This tart would be perfect to serve for Easter brunch, as an easy springtime dish (think Mother’s Day!), or as a great way to use up those Easter ham leftovers!

Hatfield Ham, Asparagus, and Egg Tart

Ingredients

  • 1 - 17 oz. package puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
  • 3 tbsp. light mayo, or your favorite mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. dried thyme
  • Garlic powder
  • 1 small-medium bunch asparagus, cleaned and ends trimmed
  • 6 oz. Gruyère cheese, grated
  • 1 Hatfield Ham Steak, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out both sheets of puff pastry dough, layering one on top of the other to form one large sheet.
  3. Place on the baking sheet and fold the edges over to create a crust. Poke holes into the bottom of the pastry.
  4. Bake puff pastry for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the light mayo, Dijon mustard, thyme, and a little garlic powder. Spread the mixture onto the pastry crust.
  6. Sprinkle most of the Gruyère cheese on top of the crust.
  7. Follow by adding the ham and asparagus, leaving spaces open for the eggs.
  8. Carefully crack the ends into the spaces. Sprinkle any leftover cheese onto the top of the tart.
  9. Place the tart back into the oven and bake for 15-20 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs have set.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

This tart is best when enjoyed the day it was made, but can also be reheated at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Butternut Squash Breakfast Hash

Add this super colorful Butternut Squash Breakfast Hash to your morning routine.  It’s a healthy and delicious breakfast skillet that’s a feast for your eyes and will wake up your taste buds!


Christmas is officially over and we’re about to ring in another year.  Maybe you’re considering this your last weekend to indulge in those holiday goodies.  We have some not-so-healthy bites on our weekend menu, but my head is already thinking about turning around my eating habits next week.  I’m ready to say good-bye to holiday indulgences and stock our fridge full of healthier options.

I don’t know about you, but when I start my day with a healthy meal, I kind of don’t want to wreck that flow the rest of the day.  What I eat for breakfast tends to set the tone for what I’ll eat for lunch and dinner.  That’s why I’ll have an egg pretty much every single day.  


If you asked me what my favorite breakfast food is, I would definitely tell you “eggs.”  They’re such a versatile protein.  Think about it – there’s not many ways you can eat cereal, but you can switch it up every morning with an egg!  I never get bored with breakfast with eggs.  My husband likes to whip us up omelets or egg wraps during the weekend.  During the week, I start my day with egg whites or a fried egg. 


Since most of us are probably thinking about eating healthier, I decided to use some of the seasonal produce I had to create a seriously colorful breakfast hash!  I ditched potatoes for butternut squash and cooked it in a skillet alongside onions, kale, and bacon.  Then, I topped it with a couple fried eggs. 

Want to get a little crazy?  Add a few splashes of hot sauce on top before serving!  I swear, I get that from my grandmother.  The woman used to carry a small bottle of Tabasco sauce in her purse and splash her eggs with it in the morning.  Now, I kind of see why she did it!  It adds the perfect amount of flavor and heat to wake up your taste buds!
