Shrimp Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Ingredients

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Season shrimp with the Old Bay seasoning and cook 6-7 minutes, until shrimp are just done. Remove shrimp from the heat and allow to cool completely. Roughly chop the shrimp.

While the shrimp is cooling, beat the cream cheese and butter with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer. Beat for several minutes until the mixture becomes light and airy. Add the beaten egg, salt, pepper, herbs, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and sour cream. Mix well. Fold the shrimp into the cream cheese mixture.

Coat the bottoms of the portabellas with the non-stick marinade. Divide the shrimp mixture evenly into the mushrooms.

Prepare the grill. Cook mushrooms 10-12 min over direct medium heat for 12-15 minutes, rotating twice. Serve immediately.

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.
