Quesadillas Salvadoreñas

-
Hello Everyone!

Today I will show you how to make Salvadorian Breakfast Cake a.k.a. Quesadillas Salvadoreñas. When you hear the word quesadilla, you probably think of a tortilla with meat, cheese, and salsa. In El Salvador, a Central American country next to Honduras and Guatemala, their quesadilla is like a small, cheesy pound cake.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. While the oven is preheating, whisk the rice flour, baking powder and salt together. 
  3. Using a standing mixer bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Drop the eggs in one at a time until it is fully creamed.
  4. Beat in sour cream, cheese and rice flour mixture in the mixer bowl until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Spoon the mixture into greased muffin tins. I used PAM to grease them but butter is fine too.
  6. Bake for 15-20 min and let them cool to room temperature and enjoy!

Morning Rush

Good morning guys! If you woke up late today, like I did, and need to grab your daily dose of caffeine, there’s no place better than Dunks. I grew up in New England so, yes, I am a Dunkin’ girl 💁🏻. I quickly got ready and started my day by walking to Dunkin’. On my walk, I had a good feeling that there wouldn’t be a line so maybe I would finally be able to get the donut I’ve been wanting to try. The past few times I’ve gone to Dunkin’ they never had the donut I’ve wanted ☹️. I got to Dunkin’ and there was no line and they didn’t have the donut that I wanted.  So, I ordered my usual iced coffee with Carmel mocha swirl and the purple potion donut!                                                                (Photo by SG) So I guess you could say my day is going alright, despite the fact I woke up late. I ...

Good Morning! Today I will show you how I made pastia. I saw this recipe on ABC's The Chew,  and I had to try out this Italian breakfast dish. The original recipe feeds 10-12 people, so I made it to feed 5-6 people. I also made some other small adjustments. To make the dish, I used the following ingredients: 1/2 pound of linguine 1 pound of turkey bacon 1 yellow onion 6 eggs 1 cup of pecorino romano (grated) 1/4 cup of provolone 1/4 cup of parsley Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (grated) Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Boil the linguine 2 minutes longer than package instructions. Saute bacon until cooked through but not crispy for 5 minutes. Cook onions in the same pan with olive oil for about 5 minutes. Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk them. Add the pecorino romano, provolone and parsley to the eggs. Put the pasta, bacon and onions into a bowl. Stir and then let it cool. Left: Eggs mixed with pecorino romano, provolone and parsley. Right: Lin...
