Cheese Bread And Egg Soup Recipes

EGG AND CHEESE BREAD OMELET

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, scallion and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and starting to brown around the edges. Add the egg mixture and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Working quickly, dip 1 slice of the bread in the eggs, then flip it and place close to one edge of the pan. Repeat with the remaining slice of bread, setting it across the pan from the first bread slice (near the opposite edge) so they are in a straight line with eggs all around. Season with a pinch salt.
• Continue to cook the eggs until they are completely set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide a large metal spatula under the bread slices and flip the whole omelet in one single motion. Put the cheese on top of the omelet, covering the bread slices. Using the spatula, fold one side of the omelet (but not the bread side) over the bread and cheese followed by the other side. Then fold in half to form a sandwich and continue to cook until the bread on the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

STRACCIATELLA SOUP (ITALIAN EGG SOUP)

Steps:

• Place stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer.
• In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, grated cheese, nutmeg, and breadcrumbs.
• Add the spinach to the pot and allow to wilt.
• Drizzle the egg mixture into the broth, and do not stir for a minute or two.
• Stir the egg mixture gently.
• Serve the soup in individual bowls, topped with added cheese and black pepper.

CHEESY EGGY BREAD WITH CHUNKY SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a good non-stick frying pan (if you don't have one, heat a normal pan with a knob of butter and drizzle of oil). Whisk the eggs and cheese with some seasoning in a shallow dish. Lay the bread in so it soaks up a little egg, and scoop out any extra cheese, pressing it to stick onto the bread. Fry for 2-4 mins on each side until golden.
• Mix salad ingredients together with some seasoning and serve alongside.

KHACHAPURI (GEORGIAN CHEESE BREAD)

Steps:

• Combine milk, water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, 2 cups flour, and salt. Mix until a sticky dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about 3 minutes, adding in remaining flour as needed, until dough is very soft but still workable. Form into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Combine Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and feta cheeses in a bowl. Toss together and refrigerate until needed.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface. Flatten slightly and cut in half. Dust a large sheet of parchment paper with flour. Place 1 dough half on top and roll out into a square about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, stretching out the corners as needed. Arrange 1/4 of the cheese in 2 rows, 1 to 2 inches from the longest sides. Roll sides up tightly over the cheese, forming a canoe shape around the dough. Pinch and twist ends to seal.
• Cut off excess parchment around the dough; lift dough onto a baking sheet. Repeat shaping and stuffing the other dough half. Fill the canoe with the remaining cheese mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Form a well in the center of each khachapuri using a spoon; crack an egg inside each well.
• Return to oven and bake until eggs are mostly set, 3 to 4 minutes. Place 2 pats of butter over each filling and sprinkle salt and cayenne on top. Plate khachapuri; tear off one end and use it to stir the butter into the egg.

PASSATELLI DEI NONNI (BREAD AND PARMESAN CHEESE SOUP)

Steps:

• Place the bread crumbs, Parmesan, nutmeg and the lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and carefully mix together with your hands until it forms a soft dough-like consistency.
• The mixture should be like a wet dough, barely holding together.
• If it seems too stiff, add 1 tablespoon water or stock. If it's too soft, add more breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
• Allow the dough to rest for approximately 20 minutes in a cool place.
• Once ready, put the dough in a food mill or ricer. Press to create short noodles (like little worms).
• Bring the meat stock to a boil and add the pasta. Once the passatelli have risen to the surface, they are ready to eat.
• Serve immediately.
