Brunch Game Strong – Episode 6

Cucumber Waffles

Ingredients and Directions

• 2 waffles (my new fave is Trader Joe’s gluten free!)
• as much cream cheese as your heart desires
• 16 slices of English cucumber
• Everything But The Bagel seasoning
• 1 soft boiled eggs

Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop in the egg(s) for 6 minutes. Remove to an icy water bath to cool, then peel. Toast the waffles. Slice the cucumber into thin discs. Top the waffle with your desired level of cream cheese…I’m a 2 Tbsp per waffle kind of gal. Place the cucumbers in a neat little circle, slice your egg in half, and top with Everything But The Bagel seasoning.

Prosciutto, Apple, Burrata Toast

Ingredients and Directions

• 2 pieces of bread
• 1 ball burrata
• 1/2 Honeycrisp apple
• 1-2 slices prosciutto
• black pepper
• fresh thyme

Toast the bread. Tear one ball of burrata in half and place on each piece of toast. Crack fresh pepper over the burrata. Slice a Honeycrisp apple into thin wedges, place on top of burrata. Layer prosciutto and sprinkle fresh thyme over the entire dish.

Cilbir (Turkish Eggs)

Ingredients and Directions

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1-2 eggs
• 1/2 Tbsp. chili crisp
• 1/2 tsp. garlic
• pinch of salt
• fresh thyme
• 2 Tbsp. vinegar
• 4 cups water
• cheesy biscuits (Red Lobster has a gluten free mix for their cheddar bay biscuits and it absolutely SLAPS.)

Poach the egg – here is the link to low stress poached eggs – https://withaglassofwine.com/2020/09/26/low-stress-poached-eggs/

While the egg(s) is poaching, chop the garlic and combine with the Greek yogurt. Spread on the bottom of a bowl and make plenty of swirly pockets. Drizzle your favorite chili oil, I used the chili crisp from Trader Joe’s. Place the poached egg(s) on top of the yogurt and break the yolk. Add a pinch of salt and fresh thyme.
