NYFD firehouse chow..

[vinoscooter]

A Yummy simple recipe...
The original recipe came off a Newyork fire department calander a couple of years before
9/11.I modified it for use for sunday brunch in restraunts..60 servings..After 9/11 I returned the recipe
back for family use.So this isn't quite the original recipe..Also variations:Ham is excellent,turkey,chicken
Your favorite sausage,homemade or purchaced,meatless:broccoli works well,use your imagination w/this recipe
Make it a couple of times & you'll know what you want more of or less of...The recipe is excellent as it is though.

Great for breakfast,lunch,even as a sandwich..

1 C. hard salami..one of those 12 oz,to 1lb small summer sausage rolls works also.
1 lb carton cottage cheese
1 tsp garlic pwd
1 doz eggs use 9 save 3 for the end
1 cube buter
parmesan cheese, I put 1 tbl in the mix
3 eggs for the top before baking
Original recipe calls for 1 tsp garlic salt + 1 1tsp salt also,Im a low salt person
to me the meat ,butter,cottage cheese has enough salt.
Mix eggs good in large bowl (9) chop or dice meat into bite size pieces & add.
melted butter,not to hot!We don't want to have any eggs start to set up.
Add cottage cheese,parmesan cheese, spice's,mix well,pour mixture in non stick pan,easy to use 2 smaller pans,or 1 larger pan..whatever you have
Now mix 3 eggs well,Get a little air in them...pour them over the top,spred em around to cover,
Bake at 350 till it's golden brown 25,35 min. depending on oven..serve while hot w/more parmesan cheese.
Serve w/fresh fruit,breakfast rolls,sourdough,w/good jam is good also.just about
anything will taste Great...Ive even baked this a few times w.colman fold up oven & stove,no problems.YUMMY vinoscooter

Sounds very good, I do feel my coronary arteries clogging though

...it is important to remember that whenever clogging your arteries that a good Chianti is highly recommended to make everything flow freely once again(Hannibal Lechter)

Woody, it's called portion control Think of it as your side of eggs,& side of meat,dairy portion,all in one...Add a few spuds...breakfast is done..At least thats how I try to justifi eating it?..It keeps well,& frezze's well also..vinoscooter.

This recipe sounds so weird to me that it HAS to be delicious.

I mean, where does the cottage cheese come into play here??? This is culinarily bizarre to me on all levels.

But with a dozen eggs and a stick of butter (is that what you meant by cube?), it has to be great.

1 cube of butter or 1 stick or 8 tbls...Im sure the recipe is a cross between french & Italiano.
Ive seen and had cottage cheese in a type of french stew,french panckes..called Blinyzes
..In a french watercress soup,served cold..they also used sour cream in it.. & others..Then w/the parmesan
& meat is more Italy..So I can just see a Frenchmen & an Italian..Fireman both trying to have there say
about it. It doesn't have to be so fatning..Lots of low fat,low salt options out there ..It serves 8 to 10...so thats about 1 tbl. butter a person
Some how the cheese works...kinda melds alltogether..My Gramma tought me the basic's of cooking..So im an old school cook...howerver I have a degree in culinary arts.
The degree helped..kicked up the paycheck's a bit..It's a tested & tryed recipe in restraunts,W/ family..friends,& just old plain folks like me..Don't let the eggs dry out..
As soon as they set up it's done..vinoscooter

It looks like this recipe would work well in a Dutch Oven while camping with a group.

It works well in a dutch oven..Keep the heat down some,butter has a lower burn TEMP..than other oil's..I made some in a coffee can 1 time..used powdered eggs!..We were hugary...it came out fine...Put this recipe on here cause it's simple,& can be modified for all tastes..A little fresh chive,or parseley...more or less meats...Let it cool a little tell it sets up,kinda like a pie,it'll dish out better,The next day after it's been cool slice it up for a sandwitch..tomatoes,cucumber,Your favorite fresh greens,mayo,fresh ground pepper...& one more thing,any meats used MUST BE PRECOOKED...& drain as much fat off as you can..We made 1 up yesterday for a potluck...We used bacon...9" X 2/ & 1/2" hi teflon pan,baked for 35 min,at 350...GOOD LUCK...vinoscooter
