Strawberry Kuchen

 

This month's Taste of Home magazine Bakeable challenge is Blueberry Kuchen but it's strawberry season here so I made it with those instead. Kuchen roughly translates to "cake" and this version calls for simple ingredients and really lets them shine.

First you combine the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, nutmeg and salt. Then you add in milk, egg, melted and slightly cooled butter and vanilla.  Once it's well combined you spread it in a 13x9 baking dish.

Sprinkle the top with strawberries, blueberries or the berry of your choice making sure to get into the corners and distribute them evenly.

For the crumb topping, more melted butter, sugar and flour mixed together with a fork until crumbly. I also grated in a bit of the nutmeg since I already had it and the Microplane out.

Sprinkle it over the top of the strawberries, again making sure to get into the corners.

Mine baked for about 45 mins in the glass baking dish I used. It didn't say whether to let it cool before serving or not but there was no way I was going to hold the guys off with the amazing smell that was coming out of the kitchen.

They liked theirs with a scoop of ice cream but I thought it was absolutely perfect as is. Our blueberries will start ripening mid-July and then we'll have blackberries in August and I definitely will be making this again with both of them!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi
