Dinner at The Hampton’s

Eggs Benedict

June 15, 2008 · 1 Comment

Happy Father’s Day! It hasn’t been too bad in our house. The kids and I (well, I…) made eggs benedict for a special Daddy’s Day breakfast. I made some bacon to go with it. Traditional Eggs Benedict has canadian bacon and a poached egg. I took the easy way. And, yes, I used Hollandaise from a mix.

I fried some ham, toasted some crusty sour dough bread, fried some eggs and put it all together. Yum!

Thanks for joining us for a special breakfast and see you around the table next time!

Hamburgers & Potato Wedges

June 15, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Last night, was simple and delicious. It was good diner food at home. I made some super lean hamburgers by simply cooking them in a pan over medium heat until both sides are brown, then letting them finish in a 350°. Mine took about 10 minutes, it depends on how big the burgers are. Mine were 1/4 pounders. If you are using super lean meat, put an egg and some breadcrumbs in to firm it up. Top with your favorite flavors. I also put Worchestershire and Teriaki Sauce in my burgers, so I went with an Asian flair. I topped them with cheese before they went in the oven, then mixed up a sweet-spicy mayo, by adding Thai Chili Sauce and honey into plain mayo.

I made potato wedges to go with them. I drizzle a little olive oil on my potatoes and toss them in a spice mix of cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Bake them for about 30 minutes, tossing once. I mixed some sweet chili sauce into sour cream for a dipping sauce for the potatoes.

Hope you enjoy this kid-friendly diner menu in your house. Thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!
