>>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO NEW DATA NORTHWEST
>> Reporter: WITH CHRISTMAS
JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY WITHOUT IT
WOULD BE FUN TO GET CREATIVE
WITH CHRISTMAS BRUNCH IDEAS.
WELCOME BACK DARA.
WE ARE MATCHING IN THE KITCHEN
THIS MORNING.
THIS MORNING. SO YOUR IDEA IS BRILLIANT.
EVERYBODY LOVES LUNCH BUT WE
ALSO LIKE THINGS THAT WE CAN
MAKE AHEAD SO WE ARE NOT
PULLING OURSELVES OUT OF THE
FAMILY DURING CHRISTMAS MORNING.
>> IT IS ALREADY SO CRAZY ON
CHRISTMAS MORNING THE LAST
THING YOU WANT TO BE DOING IS
SLAVING OVER THE STOVE.
THIS IS REALLY EASY.
IT IS KIND OF LIKE A FRITTATA.
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
I CALL IT THE MAKE AHEAD BAKED
EGGS.
EGGS.
EGGS. >>
EGGS. >> LET'S GET STARTED.
WHAT DO WE DO?
CAN I HELP IN ANYWAY?
>> YOU CAN DO A LITTLE BIT MORE
WHISKING.
WHISKING.
WHISKING. I HAVE A MIXTURE TO MAKE THIS A
LITTLE BIT LIGHTER OF EGGS AND
EGG WHITES AS WELL AS SOME
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. YOU CAN DO WHOLE EGGS IF YOU
WANT BUT IF YOU WANT IT LIGHTER
JUST LEAVE SOME OF THE YOKES
OUT.
OUT.
OUT. >>
OUT. >> THE GREAT THING ABOUT BAKED
EGGS IS YOU CAN PUT ALMOST ANY
MEAT OR ANY VEGETABLE IN THERE.
WHATEVER YOU LIKE.
I HAVE SOME TURKEY BREAKFAST
SAUSAGE THAT I HAVE JUST
CHOPPED UP HERE THAT YOU CAN
PUT IN.
PUT IN.
PUT IN. WE WILL JUST START TO LET THAT
BROWN.
BROWN.
BROWN. >>
BROWN. >> I'M GOING TO EAT SOME OF THE
INGREDIENTS.
INGREDIENTS. >> I DON'T BLAME YOU.
IN THIS PANAMA GET SOME OLIVE
OIL GOING AND THE MUSHROOMS.
SO THOSE ARE CODED A LITTLE BIT.
WE WILL PEPPER THEM UP WITH A
LITTLE BIT OF SEASONING.
I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS
TRICK BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO
NECESSARILY SALT MUSHROOMS IN
THE BEGINNING BECAUSE IT WILL
MAKE THEM RELEASE THEIR LIQUID
AND THEN THEY WILL NOT BROWN AS
MUCH.
MUCH.
MUCH. SO
MUCH. SO SALT MUSHROOMS AT THE END.
>> I HAD HEARD THAT I JUST DID
NOT KNOW WHY.
>> NORMALLY I WOULD USE A
BIGGER PAN SO YOU DO NOT COUNT
THEM AS MUCH.
IF YOU WANT A LITTLE BIT OF THE
BROWNING AND CARAMELIZATION ON
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. >>
THEM. >> SO WE COOK THESE DOWN UNTIL
THE SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS ARE
NICE AND BROWN AND LET'S
PRETEND THAT HAS HAPPENED.
THIS WILL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING
THAT SOMEBODY CAN GIVE YOU A
HAND WITH REALLY EASILY.
YOU CAN HAVE THE KIDS HELP YOU
IN THE KITCHEN.
AND JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
TOMATO.
TOMATO.
TOMATO. SO WHAT I WOULD DO IS I WOULD
ACTUALLY PUT ALL OF THIS
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. WE CAN PUT IT ON TOP.
ALL WE DO IS TRANSFER THESE TWO
SOME RAMEKINS.
SOME RAMEKINS. >> INTERESTING.
>> INTERESTING. THAT WILL COOK DOWN REALLY
NICELY.
NICELY.
NICELY. >> I USUALLY FILL THEM UP ABOUT
HALFWAY OR SO.
IT IS SPILLING ALL OVER.
WE WILL DO THE SAME THING WITH
OUR PRETEND COOKED TURKEY
SAUSAGE.
SAUSAGE.
SAUSAGE. >> WOULD YOU COOK IT ALL THE
WAY THROUGH?
WAY THROUGH? >> I WOULD COOK IT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH TO GET IT NICE AND
BROWNED BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE
YOUR EXTRA FLAVOR COMES FROM
WHEN YOU GET THE NICE BROWNING
ON THE OUTSIDE AS WELL AS THE
MUSHROOMS.
MUSHROOMS. FROM THERE YOU ARE JUST GOING
TO POUR THAT IN THERE.
>> LIKE SO?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
>> I LIKE TO PUT A LITTLE BIT
OF BASIL ON TOP FOR SOME EXTRA
FLAVOR.
FLAVOR.
FLAVOR. >> THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> AND THEN YOU BAKE THEM IN
THE OVEN AT 350 FOR ABOUT 20
MINUTES IS ALL THAT IT TAKES.
WHAT I LIKE DOING AS WELL IS
JUST ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE
THEY ARE DONE TO JUST GRATE
SOME PARMESAN CHEESE OVER THE
TOP OF THEM.
THEN YOU JUST GET A LITTLE BIT
A BROWN. THEY HAVE FALLEN A
LITTLE BIT WHEN THEY COME OUT
OF THE OVEN THEY ARE LIKE A
SOUFFLI THEY ARE ALL PUFFED UP
AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT IN.
>> COULD YOU PUT THIS IN A
EIGHT BY EIGHT PAN?
>> SOMETIMES I USE A PIE DISH.
IT MAKES REALLY PRETTY
PRESENTATION AND THEN I CUT IT
INTO WEDGES.
INTO WEDGES. >> WHAT DO YOU LIKE FOR
TOPPINGS BECAUSE I AM SCENE
MAYBE GREEK YOGURT OR SOMETHING
ELSE ON TOP OF YOU WANTED TO.
>> I THINK GIVEN AND THE MIXING
IN IS WHERE YOU CAN GET
CREATIVE.
CREATIVE.
CREATIVE. YOU CAN DO ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND
OLIVES AND BACON AND ANYTHING
YOU CAN MAKE IT SORT OF GREEK
INSPIRED YOU CAN DO SOME FETA
CHEESE.
CHEESE.
CHEESE. >> YOU HAVE BROUGHT SOME OTHER
THINGS WITH YOU.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL
THING.
THING.
THING. >>
THING. >> THIS IS SUPER EASY.
TO BE FANCY I CALL IT A VERY
OVER TRIFLE BUT IT IS JUST A
MASSIVE YOGURT PARFAIT.
>> I WOULD ALSO CALL IT A
TRIFLE.
TRIFLE.
TRIFLE. DEWEY SAID THAT IN THE
NORTHWEST?
NORTHWEST? >> WE COULD BUT TO ME A TRIFLE
IS LIKE LADYFINGERS AND CUSTARD
CREAM AND MORE OF A DESSERT
SORT OF THING BUT THIS IS GREAT
FOR ENTERTAINING BECAUSE HE CAN
JUST YOU A MASSIVE TRIFLE AND
HAVE EVERYBODY DIP INTO THE
LAYERS AND SERVE THEMSELVES.
IT IS ALMOST NO WORK FOR YOU.
>> IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS
MUCH BUT THAT WILL FEED A WHOLE
BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
>> TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE
HOLIDAY LIKE I FLAVOR THE YOGURT
WITH SOME MAPLE SYRUP AND
NUTMEG.
NUTMEG.
NUTMEG. >> I WILL NOT TAKE INTO THAT
BECAUSE IT WILL RUIN THE LOOK.
YOU ALSO BROUGHT SOME
GINGERBREAD?
GINGERBREAD? >> IT IS A GINGERBREAD QUICK
BREAD.
BREAD.
BREAD. IT'S HEALTHY AND SWEETENED WITH
MAPLE SYRUP.
MAPLE SYRUP. THE FAT IS COCONUT OIL AND
YOGURT.
YOGURT.
YOGURT. IT MAKES IT NICE AND LIGHTS.
JUST THE GLAZE OVER TOP IS
MAPLE SYRUP MIXED WITH POWDERED
GINGER AND CINNAMON.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU
MAKE THINGS A LITTLE HEALTHIER
MAYBE LEAVING SOME OF THE YOKES
OUT AND USING COCONUT OIL.
IN TERMS OF ALTERNATE WAYS TO
SWEETEN THINGS RATHER THAN JUST
WHITE SUGAR WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO
USE?
USE?
USE? >>
USE? >> I
USE? >> I LIKE TO USE MAPLE SYRUP A
LOT.
LOT.
LOT. SOMETIMES I GO FOR AGAVE NECTAR.
I LIKE THE COCONUT PALM SUGAR
AS WELL THAT IS ALSO A REALLY
GOOD SUBSTITUTION.
GOOD SUBSTITUTION. >> HOW DO YOU FIGURE OUT THE
RATIO?
RATIO?
RATIO? >>
RATIO? >> I WOULD SAY TO FIND A GOOD
RECIPE THAT USES THEM BECAUSE
PEOPLE THAT DO A LOT OF BAKING
GO THROUGH A LOT OF TESTING IN
THE KITCHEN AND IT'S A LITTLE
BIT OF CHEMISTRY SO YOU JUST
FIND SOME GREAT RECIPES BECAUSE
SOME THINGS ARE ONE-TO-ONE
SUBSTITUTIONS AND OTHERS IF YOU
ARE DOING A LIQUID LIKE MAPLE
SYRUP YOU WILL HAVE TO ADJUST
THE OTHER LIQUID.
>> I DISCOVERED THAT WITH MONK
FRUIT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT IT'S
A LOT SWEETER THAN SOME OTHER
STUFF.
STUFF.
STUFF. SO
STUFF. SO IF YOU DID THAT MIKE WITH
STEVIE I YOU END UP WITH
SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T
EAT.
EAT.
EAT. >>
EAT. >> WHAT SORT OF CHEESE DID YOU
SUGGEST FOR THE TOP?
>> IT IS GRATED PARMESAN OR
ASIAGO BUT EVEN SOMETHING LIKE
SOME GORGONZOLA OR FETA. ANY OF
THOSE WOULD BE GREAT.
>> THAT SOUNDS AWESOME PICKUP
>> THESE ARE GREAT.
WE CAN DO THEM AHEAD OF TIME.
