An International Bread Pudding — English Muffin, Canadian Bacon, & American Cheddar — Eggs à la Jenjen

June 23, 2019

Sunday, 23 June 2019

Long before instant internet recipes — heck, long before the internet — my mom created a cookbook for me full of family favorites. In it was her variation of a breakfast strata called Eggs à la Trish which was her go-to prep ahead overnight egg dish for company.

Fast forward 40 years after my mom started that cookbook (check out the 70’s feel to the cover – lol). . . . Grandma came to visit Miles and me for a few days and I made my signature savory bread pudding. We decided to make it a real family meal and invited Mom and Papa to join.

Papa said, “so I hear you made your mother’s recipe.” It was then I realized, it wasn’t her recipe anymore. It was definitely inspired by the savory bread pudding Mama scribed into my cookbook so many years ago, but it was all my own now. Heck, I don’t think they even sell the cheese it called for anymore!

Ina Garten says recipes evolve over time. And over the years I put my own spin on the strata. Some of it was inspired — like when I saw the Pioneer Woman put heavy cream into her everything bagel casserole and I thought well I bet a little cream would be better than just milk. Some was conscious — like when I noticed other stratas with bite size pieces and I thought it would be easier to eat if it was assembled that way. Some practical — like when I thought 6 English muffins come in the pack so I might as well use all of ‘um.

So upon reflection of just how many changes I made to the recipe (7 off the top of my head) I decided it was no longer Eggs à la Trish. But in honor of mom’s recipe that started me on my strata stroll I’ve kept the “Eggs à la” in the naming. Folks, I give you: Eggs à la Jenjen. Ta da!

It really is so delicious! I kid you not, everyone went back for seconds and some folks went back for thirds and fourths.

Scroll through the slide show for a photo tour of how Eggs à la Jenjen is assembled.

Today I served it with pre-cut cantaloup from the market. And a simple mixed baby greens salad with my spin on Ina’s Lemon Vinaigrette. I’ve served it with roasted tomatoes before and roasted asparagus. Both taste great. It makes for a wonderful supper as well as brunch dish and the leftovers heat-up beautifully.

And as bread puddings go this one is super low maintainance — no toasting bread before, or cooking up bacon, or sautéing veggies. A prep ahead, low maintenance recipe that doesn’t sacrifice on flavor. I’d say those are my favorite kind!

Bon appetite! xxx

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk you’d here on a motorcar in the early 20th century? It's an upperclass British coloqualism for farewell.🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans! And Miles and I visited Highclere Castle — the real life Downton in Yorkshire.📺 It was one of the best days of my life! Full of intention, serenity, gratitude, luxury, playfulness, and beauty.🧚 Pure magic!🪄 Just like life is supposed to be.♥️

I love you! Pip pip. 😘 Gigi

A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . . A Valentine’s poem from the Furry Princess . . .
Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I use Ten days until Valentine’s Day. And oh how I used to dread that day before Miles. 

I just want to remind everyone. I didn’t meet Miles until I was 34ish and Miles was 52ish.

If you have someone you really love to celebrate with: fabulous. If not: celebrate you! And your fur baby, if you have one! 

Don’t give your power away to a day. Hold true to the fact that you are special, divine, and worthy of a magical miraculous love. 

Wait for the one. I promise. It’s with it. 

😘

One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, One year ago. On our two week long, cross country, drive to Las Vegas. We were so ready to just get there. To the bungalow in Summerlin. To settle in. Not unpack and pack up the car again. 

We were gonna push through. Almost there. One more ice tea from McDonalds. I thought. 

I made the wrong turn to get the ice tea. And we ended up in Sedona. 

It is a really beautiful spot. A picture perfect detour. 

And the next day. Before leaving for our final stretch through the desert to Las Vegas, I got my ice tea at the only place where McDonalds Golden Arches are actually turquoise.

“What’s going on?” I can feel the question i “What’s going on?” I can feel the question in the field as I consciously dropped off social to be more present during our trip to visit Grandma in the American Heartland. 

We’ve been staying with Grandma at her place. Taking her to her favorite spots. And watching lots of Hallmark movies (Miles brought his headphones so he could watch his own stuff on his iPhone. 😂). 

Today was the first time we went to Terra Bloom. And we spent the afternoon. Doing a bit of gridwork. But this trip isn’t about gridwork. It’s about Grandma! 💕

That said. When we were at Terra Bloom. I got a clear message, sitting on the veranda, in the cold, sipping decaf, overlooking the Mighty Missippi, that were to come back for the month of March. So there’s that. 

Some of you know this. Some of you are new. So here’s a bit about Terra Bloom. . . . 

Terra Bloom is a house I bought and renovated 15ish years ago. It became a family home when I got called back to Virginia — which was essentially me getting called back to fulfill my divine union destiny with Miles, who was in Old Town waiting to meet me. lol. 

Terra Bloom is built on what was once a Native American enslavement camp. I did not know that until a few months ago. 

It used to be very overwhelming for me there. Now, I able to live in a state of serenity. But it can still be very intense at times, to say the least. But not today. Not this trip. 

The house, Terra Bloom, the land, the history, and the wisdom is very significant in the tapestry of what we’re doing now as we bridge to the 5th dimension and beyond. And Indigenous roots are extremely potent and powerful in a past life that Miles and I shared where we were again in divine union and grid working. 

It’s all beyond fascinating! And a little mind blowing. 

More on all this later. But for now, back to Hallmark!

😘 Gigi (Miles & Mia)
