No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Seafood

Fresh fish is one of the hardest proteins to grill.  The no-stick marinade is perfect when grilling filets or whole fish.  Brush the no-stick marinade on fish, scallops, soft-shell crabs, or lobster 30-45 minutes before grilling!

Ingredients

4 egg yolks
1 tbl Dijon mustard
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup canola oil
warm water as needed
2 tbl Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
1 tbl onion powder
1 tbl paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried thyme leaves

Instructions

Place the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and vinegar in a food processor.  Blend on medium speed for 1 – 2 minutes.

Slowly drizzle oils into the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time.  If the marinade becomes too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water.  Once all of the oil has been incorporated, add seasoned salt, black pepper, dry mustard, oregano, and thyme until incorporated.

Store covered in the refrigerator until needed.

Yield:  2 1/2 cups

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
