Curiously Tasty Omelette - World of Warcraft

I am back! Did you miss me? <3
After a long Summer break I am back & ready to bring you even more MMO recipes!

I started to play WoW again, I love this game and I just can't stay away for long.  I play on a private server  (The BEST private sever) ExcaliberWoW. ( http://excalibur-wow.com ) It is a Burning Crusade server meaning it does not go past patch 2.4.3  and I couldn't be happier. The community is small, it's tough to find groups on some days but the players there have a real love for the game.  It's not about end game, getting the best gear or that "The Next Expansion is Coming" push that makes people crazy. It's about playing and having fun. I very much missed that attitude. 
 My name is Edenvale , stop by & say Hiya!

Inspired by my new (retro) way of playing WoW in Burning Crusade I bring you this throw back recipe Curiously Tasty Omelet. This is a bit of an unorthodox omelette but delicious!

You will need:

Potatoes (One for each person)
Eggs (One for each potato)
Bacon (One strip for each egg)


I baked the potatoes until they were soft enough poke with a fork. (about 30 minutes for small taters)
(Microwave for 5-10 minutes)

Wait until they are cool to touch and slit the tops open gently.
Take the ends an squeeze together so the potato opens wider. 
Take a fork and smash the inside of the potato to give in a bowl shape.

I added bacon to some. It is optional.

 Some I left meatless.

Drop the egg into the potato bowl.
I used small eggs. Using a smaller potato with a larger egg might not work out so well.
If you are using large eggs. I'd suggest scrambling them & placing half the egg in one potato and the other half in a second.

 Sprinkle with cheese.
I also added salt and pepper, garlic and Parmesan cheese.

It was definitely the most curious tasting omelette I have ever had.
Yum!
note: I froze some & they heated up great for a quick hearty on the go breakfast!

Bannock ~ Lord of the Rings

 They taste like very dense biscuits.

This is what Hobbits would make while traveling. They are quite dense and filling and you do not need to give them time to rise. Which is convenient  while on an adventure. They can be cooked over an open fire in the outdoors or in an oven. (If you happen to find a comfy bed to sleep in.) They scorch easily when pan cooking but if you ladle meat gravy over them, your mates will never know.

You will need:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups water

(optional) add a cup of dried fruits or nuts for a different flavor

Measure flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl. Stir. 

Pour melted butter and water over flour mixture. Stir with fork to make a ball.

Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface, and knead gently about 10 times. 

Pat into a flat circle 3/4 to 1 inch thick.

Cook in a greased frying pan over medium heat, allowing about 10 minutes for each side. 

Use a spatula for turning.

May also be baked on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes.

Yum!

Seaweed Rolls ~ Star Wars The Old Republic

I know seaweed rolls are traditionally sushi rolls but I don't know how to make sushi. So I am offering these guys instead. These delicious savory dinner rolls are the best.

You will need:
loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed
bag of fresh spinach
2 tbs butter
2 tbs minced garlic
2 tbs Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Cut the bread into twelve pieces then roll the pieces into long strips.

Take the spinach and saute it, You can find a recipe for it here.
This is where you will use the garlic and the Parmesan cheese.

Lay the spinach into the strips.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Roll the strips into spirals. Any cheese that falls off scoop up and put on-top of the rolls.

Bake for 10-15 minutes. Until golden brown.

Yum!

1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Finely Chop onions.

In a pan saute onions and butter until onions are tender but not brown.
Let cool.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 

In another bowl, beat eggs, onion and butter until blended; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Add in cheese.

Fill greased or paper-lined miniature muffin cups three-fourths full.

Red Bean Cake ~ Guild Wars

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups milk
1 (18.75 ounce) can sweetened red bean paste




Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk. 

Stir in the rice flour and baking powder. 

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. 

Drop red bean paste by scant teaspoonfuls onto the top of the cake. 

This is the red bean paste I used. I bought it off amazon.com

If spoonfuls are too big, the filling will sink to the bottom.

Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until cake springs back when lightly touched. 
Flip it out of the cake pan. 
Let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Yum!

Creme Brulee ~ Skyrim

You will need:

3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar

In a medium bowl, stir together eggs and sugar until smooth; set aside.

In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, heat cream until bubbles start to form at edges.

Remove from heat and whisk into egg mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated.

Return mixture to double boiler and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
Cook 2 minutes more, then remove from heat.
Cool completely.
Stir in vanilla.
Preheat oven broiler if you don't have a small torch.

Pour cooled mixture into a 1 quart, shallow baking dish and place dish in an ice bath, in a larger, ovenproof dish.

Sprinkle brown sugar over surface of mixture and place under preheated broiler 1 to 2 minutes, until top is lightly browned and bubbly.
If you are putting the the creme brulee under the broiler, please be careful. It will take less then a minute to brown the sugar. Make sure your dishes are heat resistant and oven safe.

Or you can use a TORCH!

I used this handheld torch, I bought it from Amazon.com
Here is a link to the item, The price ranges between $12-$15




Who doesn't want to use a butane torch in their kitchen? Fun!

Yum!
