Baked Puffy Omelets with Salsa

Ingredients:

6 Eggs

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1/2 cup Cottage Cheese

2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 cup Salsa

Directions:
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the sour cream and cottage cheese, gently beat to blend well. Stir in the cheddar cheese. At this point, you can put the mixture in the refrigerator and continue in the morning.

Grease 6 individual ramekins. Ladle the mixture evenly among the ramekins. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. As the omelets begin to puff, you can turn the oven off and then the residual heat gently finish cooking the eggs. Cool slightly before serving garnished with salsa, sour cream, chopped green onions and tortilla chips, if desired.

Broiled Grapefruit

Ingredients:

2 grapefruits, preferably Ruby Red

1/4 cup dark rum  or light  I use dark

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat the Broiler.
Cut each grapefruit in half across its equator. With a grapefruit knife or paring knife, cut the fruit away from the rind around the circumference of the fruit. Section each segment by running the knife from the center, along the membrane, to the rind. This will loosen the fruit, making it easier to eat. Place the grapefruit halves in a casserole dish or baking pan.

Drizzle 1 Tbsp. of rum over each grapefruit half. Poke a few holes in the flesh if the rum does not soak in.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon and divide the mixture equally among each of the grapefruit halves. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the sugar and juice boil and the sugar starts to darken. Serve each grapefruit half in a small bowl, and pour any excess liquid on top of each portion. If desired, splash with a little extra rum before serving.
