Billy's Fried Rice

My boyfriend's name is Billy.
Billy makes me fried rice.
I love Billy.

I wish everything else in life was that easy to love. This is by far my favorite breakfast fried rice EVER. Simple to make and hits the spot when you're extra hungry. I've made this a few times by myself now and it just doesn't taste as good as when someone else makes it for you. Therefore, heavily hint a loved one right now, like tonight that you want this for breakfast and it will be a true test of their love for you ;-)

Ingredients

 About 5 cups cooked rice (good way to use leftover rice)
1 package of bacon or 1 portuguese sausage or Spam, chopped or hey maybe a little of each!
1 onion, chopped
5 eggs, beaten
3 sprigs green onion, chopped
About 1/3 cup Oyster sauce
About 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Dashi powder (kelp and fish soup base)
a little oil

Directions

1. Heat up wok or pan and fry bacon until crispy.

2. Add in onions and cook until almost translucent then drain excess oil.

3. In a separate pan heat up a little oil and fry egg.

4. Add rice to the bacon and onion and mix in oyster sauce, soy sauce, dashi, and green onion. Mix and cook together for 5-10 minutes. Add more oyster sauce and soy sauce if the rice doesn't look as brown as the picture)

5. Chop up egg and stir it into the rice.

6. Serve it up hot!

Mushroom Spinach and Bacon Quiche

I can't believe that it took me 26 years to make my first quiche... It's one of those foods that will fool people into thinking that you are super fancy and that you have complete control over the the art of cooking. They're fluffy, flaky, savory, and cheesy all at the same time. Thank goodness my boyfriend is always willing to be my sous chef and thanks to his chickens for laying the delicious eggs we use (but next time can you stop having fun with the neighborhood boys so I don't need to waste time picking out the icky red dot..thanks, love you Mary Poopins and Sacajawea!) I hope you enjoy this quiche. You know it's a good recipe when 2 people can finish off the entire pie!

Ingredients

1 9 inch premade frozen pie crust or favorite homemade flaky crust

1 cup heavy whipping cream

5 large eggs, beaten
1 cup of any shredded cheese (I like using cheddar or pepper jack for some spice!)

Fillings 

(feel free to add more or less of these depending on your taste or just use whatever veggies and meat you have on hand)

5 mushrooms, sliced

1/2 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 handfuls spinach, chopped

5 strips bacon, chopped
1/2 tomato diced
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Meanwhile, cook all your fillings on the stove. I recommend frying the bacon first, then reserving about a tablespoon of the fat to cook your onion, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach (add this in the last 2 minutes). Drain extra liquid from your fillings.
3. Bake the empty crust for 10 minutes because no one likes an undercooked, doughy crust.
4. In a big bowl mix together the cream, eggs, cheese, and all the cooked fillings.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and it is no longer jiggly.
6. Let cool for about 5 minutes then cut into wedges and serve warm!
7. DIG IN!
