MAKING MEALS OUTTA EGGS BRAH
Pappardelle with Chanterelles in a Light Chardonnay Cream Sauce
Recipe Type: Main
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 500 grams (a little less than 1 lb) egg pappardelle pasta
- 300 grams guanciale, sliced thinly
- 250 grams fresh chanterelle mushrooms
- 30 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, European-style preferably
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 240 ml (1 cup) Chardonnay wine
- 240 ml (1 cup) vegetable or mushroom broth
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
- quail eggs for garnish
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil over high heat and salt generously. Cook pasta to al dente, according to package instructions.
- In a large pan, cook guanciale over medium heat, until bacon turns opaque but not burnt. Set aside to drain over paper towels. Dispose of bacon grease and wipe clean the pan.
- In the pot you used for cooking pasta, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Sautée garlic until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the chanterelle mushrooms and sautée until juicy (if it is dry, then you may have overcooked them), about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add half the Chardonnay wine (1/2 cup), and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the wine reduces. When mushrooms are done, turn heat off but leave mushrooms in the pot, but away from heat.
- Back to the other pan (the one used to cook bacon), heat the remaining half of the wine (1/2 cup) over mdium heat until it reaches a boil and is reduced to half, then add the vegetable broth first, followed by the cream. Stir thoroughly. If you want a thicker sauce, add more cream. If you want a thinner sauce, add more broth.
- Bring the cooked pasta back in the pot with mushrooms and stir thoroughly. Pour the cream mixture into the pasta and stir until combined.
- Add the cooked guanciale and mix well. Season to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Over medium heat, pan fry some quail eggs in an oiled skillet until the edges start to curl and turn golden but the yolks still runny.
- Remove from pan with a spatula and lay on top of pasta. Serve immediately.

Estimated time: 30 minutes
Broiled Asparagus, a Poached Egg, and Charred Spring Onion and Garlic over Grits
- 1 cup coarse grits (polenta)
- 1 bundle (about a pound) asparagus
- 3 spring onions
- 2 stalks spring garlic
- Lemon juice, lemon zest
- 2 eggs
- olive oil / butter
- salt
Combine 1 cup grits with 5 cups cold water in a heavy, deep pot. Bring to a boil, toss in a bit of salt and reduce to simmer for 45 minutes, stirring very frequently and adding water and oil/butter to your liking. Meanwhile, prep asparagus on baking sheet. Coat with olive oil, salt, pepper and zest of 1 lemon. Broil on the top rack for no more than 5 minutes. Remove asparagus from pan and set aside. Slice the white and light green portion of both garlic and onions and toss in leftover olive oil from the asparagus on the baking sheet. Squeeze the juice of the fully zested lemon over the garlic and onions. Add a bit more oil if you feel necessary. Return to the broiler, and check every 2 minutes to make sure they don’t burn. Pull them out when they have a nice brown char on the edges. Set aside.
Prepare the water for poaching the eggs in a deep pan. Once things come to a boil, it’s time to start prepping the serving bowls with the warm grits and asparagus. 1-ish cup of the grits, followed by half of the asparagus… bring bowls/plates over to the stove for easy transfer of the eggs.
I have recently adopted this bangin’ poaching technique, thanks to Bon Appetit: when the water has just come to a boil, create a vortex in the center by whisking a fork in a counter-clockwise direction. Once you’ve gotten up enough speed, set down the fork and quickly crack the egg into the middle of the whirlpool you’ve created. Now just watch. Seriously. Magic is happening. Cook for 4 minutes.
Place finished egg on top of the asparagus, and pile on a generous handful of charred onions/garlic.

Bacon, Egg and Leek Risotto
I mentioned that the recipe was inspired by an article but I’d prefer not link to it because, while I’m sure the restaurant that serves it does so splendidly, the recipe as written was a mess of bad cooking times and impossible ingredient levels. Essentially, I’d rather talk about it only behind it’s back. I rewrote it and tweaked the ingredients a little too. The idea was wonderful; this execution should work for everyone.
Yield: Six small or four large servings
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable broth, but best to have an extra splash or two around if needed
1 cup (4 ounces) finely chopped bacon (from about 4 slices) or pancetta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large or 3 smaller leeks, quartered lengthwise, cleaned of grit, and chopped small
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to fry eggs
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups arborio, carnaroli, or another short-grained Italian rice
1/3 cup dry white wine or vermouth (read why here)
1 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish if desired
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 large eggs, you’ll want one per serving
1 cup (4 ounces) finely chopped bacon (from about 4 slices) or pancetta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large or 3 smaller leeks, quartered lengthwise, cleaned of grit, and chopped small
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to fry eggs
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups arborio, carnaroli, or another short-grained Italian rice
1/3 cup dry white wine or vermouth (read why here)
1 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish if desired
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 large eggs, you’ll want one per serving
Place stock or broth in a small-medium saucepan over very low heat on a back burner. You want to have it heated until steamy when you add it in a bit, but not so much that it simmers and loses volume.
Heat a second medium saucepan (3 quarts) or skillet over medium heat. Add bacon or pancetta and cook until it renders its fat, and is tender and just barely crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside, leaving whatever dripping you can in the pan. Add a tablespoon of oil to the bacon fat if needed, then add the leeks. Cook leeks on medium-low for 10 to 12 minutes, until softened and mostly tender. Transfer to bowl with bacon and set aside, leaving stove on.
Add butter to pan and, once melted, cook onion in butter until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook sauté until faintly toasted, about 4 minutes. Add wine or vermouth and cook until it almost disappears, about 2 minutes. Ladle 1 cup of hot broth into the rice mixture and simmer until it absorbs, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until rice is al dente, about 25 to 30 minutes. What you’re looking for in well-cooked risotto is a creamy but loose dish. When ladled onto a plate, it should spill into a creamy puddle, not heap in a mound. You might need an extra splash of broth to loosen it. When you achieve your desired texture and tenderness, stir in the cheese, bacon and leeks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into serving bowls.
Then, quickly, in a small skillet, heat a pat of butter over medium-high and swirl it to coat the pan. Crack one egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. I like to cover the skillet with a small lid at this point, as it seems to help the egg cook faster and more evenly. In one minute, you should have a perfect sunny-side-up egg. Transfer to your first bowl of risotto and repeat with remaining eggs. Garnish each with an extra bit of grated parmesan and eat immediately.
Creamy and Crispy Hash Browns Frittata (vegetarian, gluten-free)
For eggs and hash brown lovers, this is a fast brinner (breakfast-for-dinner) or brunch to throw together in virtually no time. The cream-style soup gives the frittata a cheesy-like quality. The eggs are creamy and the potatoes crisp up, creating both softness and a bit of crispy texture and crunch.
YIELD: one 10 1/4-inch fritatta
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: about 50 minutes
TOTAL TIME: about 55 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups refrigerated hash browns, divided (or coarsely grated potatoes; I used about three-quarters of a 1 pound 4 ounce package of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns)
one 10.5-ounce can cream of potato soup (cream of mushroom, chicken, or other cream-style soup may be substituted)
1 to 2 cups shredded cheese, optional
1 cup vegetables or pre-cooked beans, optional (diced onions, garlic, mushrooms, grated carrots, zucchini, corn, beans)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning blend (Mrs. Dash, Trader Joe's 21 Salute, Lowry's, or similar)
salt and pepper, optional and to taste (noting that the soup is already quite salty)
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375F and spray or grease a large oven-safe skillet (I used a Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 10-1/4-Inch Skillet , skillets from 9 to 12 inches in diameter will work, or a 9-by-9-inch baking pan).
- Lightly place about 3 cups hash browns in the skillet, covering the base in an even layer.
- Add the soup over the top of the potatoes and spread it evenly using a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle with cheese and/or vegetables or beans.
- Pour eggs evenly over the top.
- Add 1 cup remaining hash browns, lightly sprinkled evenly over the top.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with seasoning blend, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until golden browned on top and edges have crisped up. If cooking in cast iron, there is a notable carryover cooking effect and food will continue to cook in the skillet, so don't wait to pull frittata from oven until it's very browned because with carryover cooking factored in, it may become over-done. Allow fritatta to cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving, which allows it to set up and will be less messy when sliced. Leftover fritatta may be wrapped in plasticwrap or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Fritatta is vegetarian and gluten-free, provided soup used, or any optional ingredients used, are vegetarian and gluten-free.

sweet potato & brussels skillet
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients
- about 8 brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
- olive oil
- butter or olive oil
- 1/2 a medium sweet potato, diced small
- balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms, optional
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2-3 chopped scallions, white and green parts
- 2-4 eggs (depends on how many you want per person)
- pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
- salt & pepper
- optional on the side: toast, dollop of greek yogurt with lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat a large skillet (cast iron or just a regular skillet), over medium heat. Coat the bottom with a little butter. Add brussels sprout slices and a pinch of salt. Let them cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they start to become golden brown on both sides (it's ok if a few of the loose pieces char a little). Remove them from the pan and just set them aside on a plate.
- Add some olive oil to the pan, followed by the sweet potato cubes and another few pinches of salt & pepper. Leave them alone for a few minutes to develop a char on one side (about 5-8 minutes). Stir them and splash with balsamic vinegar. Add the garlic and mushrooms (if using) and continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes or so (if they're burning turn the heat down). Add approx. 1/4 cup water to the pan and pop it in the oven until the potatoes are finished cooking (10-15 minutes, taste test a piece to check).
- Remove from oven, toss the brussels sprouts on top. Stir in the scallions and a few red pepper flakes. Taste & adjust seasonings.
- In a separate pan, cook your sunny side up eggs.
- Plate the potato/brussels sprouts on individual plates (I served mine in individual mini-skillets) and top with an egg, a pinch of salt & pepper.

Sleeves:
Go for sleeves that make your shoulders appear smaller, like kimono, batwings, dolman or raglan sleeves. Shoulder slits, cut-outs and flared or wider cuffs look great on inverted triangles.
Top & Shirt styles
Tops and shirts to emphasize your waist are great, like peplums, trapeze, bolero, camisoles or corsets. Large straps are better than smaller ones – unless you wear a top with thin multi straps.
You should wear soft and drapey fabrics as well as fine knits. Linen or thick knit would add volume to your shoulders.
To make your upper part of your body appear smaller, wear shirts and tops in colors that are darker or more muted than the skirts or pants you wear.
Tip 1: If you are busty, get a good bra that separates your breasts from your tummy.
Tip 2: Wrap a sweater around your waist for more waist definition.
Vests
Go for a vest in a darker or muted color. It should have a peplum, wide straps or be in a very soft and drapey fabric.
Jacket styles
Avoid structured and tailored jackets (exception: they have a peplum) and cropped jackets with slim fitting bottoms, instead look for single breasted jackets with deconstructed, fluid lines.
Your jackets should be either straight or have some waist definition and flare out at your waist. Wrap cardigans and fitted cut-away styles are great for you.
Avoid double breasted buttoning, big collars, shoulder pads and embellishments like epaulets as they make your broad shoulders appear even broader. Pockets are great and should sit below your waist to add some curves to your hips.
Tip: Choose a jacket in a muted or darker color and wear it with something bright or light on your bottom half. This will help balance your broad shoulders.
Coats
Coats that add volume around your hips and/or create a waist are best. This will give you a more balanced figures and counteracts the wider top volume of an inverted triangle figure. Flared sleeves also work well for an inverted triangle. Great styles for you include trench coats, cocoon, A-line capes or trapeze coats.
Stay away from embellishments on and around your shoulders; only buy trench coats without epaulets. Shoulder pads, big lapels and double breasted jackets are a no-go.
Dress styles for an inverted triangle body shape
Your best dresses add some volume at your hips to balance your shoulders. Peplums, mermaid and A-line are great styles for an inverted triangle. T-shirt, tunic, bias cut and one strap dresses are also great.
Go for a strapless dress if you want to show off your beautiful shoulders.
Skirts
Your skirts should add volume to your hips to balance your shoulders: A-line, bias cut, full circular styles, voluminous maxi skirts, kick pleats, tulip, diagonal draped, mermaid, tapered,….
Wear your skirts in bright colors, horizontal stripes and patterns. They should be lighter or brighter than your top.
Trousers
You have a wide range to choose from: stretch pants, capri, cargo, gauchos, … and you can actually wear exotic ones like jodhpur and harem pants.
Front pleats are great to add some volume to your hips as well as pocket detailing.
You can also add some weight to your lower half with the right color or fabric. Wear trousers in bright colors and patterns. For business trousers, you could use a light grey or beige (and a dark top in black or brown). With fabrics you can create volume with rigid or thick fabrics like cord, tweed, mohair, monk’s cloth, melton, homespun, canvas, boucle, brocade, gabardine, lace, velvet and thick knits.
Shorts
Your shorts should have pleats and fuller legs to add width your hips. Short jeans also look great on you, especially if you roll up the pant legs a bit.
If you are a petite inverted triangle and have nice legs, you can go for pleats in very short shorts. This will make you appear taller and your legs leaner. If you have a long waist or are very tall, pick a longer short that is more flowing to balance out your length.
Jeans styles for an inverted triangle body shape
Your jeans can be straight, cigarette or flared. You can also go for side pockets or baggy jeans.
Get your jeans in lighter colors or even bright and shiny colors like red or yellow. This will balance your shoulders.
Tip: If you long for wearing skinny jeans, keep your top half simple.
Jumpsuits
Accessories for an inverted triangle body shape
Go for long pendant necklaces and big rings to draw the attention away from your shoulders. Rhinestones, Collar necklace. Avoid chunky necklaces and big earrings.
Wear scarves down to your waist or hips to visually elongate your torso.
Wear belts to define your waist, but avoid very small belts.
Shoes for an inverted triangle body shape
You can go for bright and colorful shoes, embellishments and patterns to create visual balance with your wide shoulders.
Rather go for a medium to chunky heal over a stiletto, booties, but skip platform heels and wedges. Slouch knee boots, ankle boots, cowboy boots and Uggs also look great on inverted triangles.
Beaded, studded shoes
Beaded, studded shoes
For sandals, look for some with ankle straps, gladiator shoes.
Avoid nude shoes.
Bags
As an inverted triangle, to play down your body shape, choose a bag with the opposite shape to your body shape: a bag with round styles, like a Hobo or Pouch. To celebrate your body type, choose a bag with the same features as your body type: a structured bag with angles like a structured Satchel or a classic Kelly bag.
The size of your body matters as well in choosing your best bag. For a petite woman, petite bags are better. For a big woman, a big bag matches her way better.
The size of your body matters as well in choosing your best bag. For a petite woman, petite bags are better. For a big woman, a big bag matches her way better.
The bag should have long straps and sit on your hips. Avoid big bags which sit under your shoulders.
Swimwear & Beachwear
You can wear classic styles and more daring styles like thongs and deep V necklines. Tops with thick straps and underwire or halter shape look good on inverted triangles.
Bottoms with light or bright colors, ruffles, prints and embellishments are great to add volume to your hips. To play down your bust, you can wear tops in darker or muted colors. Avoid extra padding, ruffles or embellishments.
Tip 1: Make sure your top gives you enough support and coverage if you are busty inverted triangle.
