What’s in the Fridge Omelette.@bordbia

Brunch, lunch or dinner in 15 minutes.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1½ tablesp. olive oil
4-6 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 eggs, beaten with 2 tablesp. freshly grated cheese
A little salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley

To Cook

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes until nearly cooked and beginning to brown. Add the onion and continue to cook until the onion is just golden, then add the garlic.

When the potatoes are just cooked, season the egg mixture and add to the potatoes. Stir well and allow the eggs to cook on the base. Place a plate over the pan, carefully turn the omlette onto the plate, then slide back into the pan to cook the other side.

Serving Suggestions

To serve, sprinkle with parsley and cut into wedges.

Note

You can add other ingredients, whatever is available – chopped ham, bacon, scallions, mushrooms. You can of course use up cooked potatoes, but the flavour is much better if you start out with uncooked.

Grilled Peaches with Cashel Blue Cheese @KerrygoldUSA

Farmhouse Irish blue cheese made with grass-fed cow’s milk makes the perfect pairing for fresh grilled peaches. As an appetizer or a gourmet snack, they make for a sweet, creamy treat perfect for outdoor grilling. They can also be made on the stovetop using a grill pan for a year-round taste of Irish summer.

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 4 minutes

Serves: 4

4 firm-ripe freestone peaches
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 oz. crumbled Kerrygold Cashel Blue Farmhouse Cheese
4 teaspoons honey

Heat a gas or charcoal grill. Cut peaches in half and remove pits. With a melon baller, scoop out a little flesh to enlarge the cavity where the pit was removed. Brush peaches lightly with olive oil on both sides. Place peaches on grill, cut side down. Grill about 2 minutes or until grill marks form. Turn over and grill for 2 minutes more. Place peaches on a serving platter, cut side up. Fill holes where pit was removed with Kerrygold Cashel Blue Farmhouse Cheese and drizzle peaches with honey. Serve warm.

Rachel’s Quick Fruit Brulée

In a large bowl, toss the sliced  bananas, the chopped nectarines or peaches, whichever you are using,  and the quartered strawberries with  one tablespoon of the caster sugar  and the lemon juice. Divide between individual bowls, adding a few blobs of the mascarpone or whipped cream, whichever you’re using, to each one.

Next, make the caramel to go on top. Place the 100g (3ƒoz) caster sugar in a small to medium saucepan on a medium heat and stir. It will begin to look lumpy and sandy, but don’t worry – just keep stirring. Eventually, it will become viscous, turning from golden to a rich caramel colour. Altogether, this can take up to about 12 minutes.

Using a spoon, carefully drizzle all the caramel over the mascarpone or whipped cream, whichever you’re  using, and over the fruit. Set aside for about five minutes, just to allow the caramel to cool and set hard, then serve.
