We do like a good bagel, cream cheese and lox, We have been known to make our own lox – cured salmon. We also like an old dish, Egg in Hole. This is a twist on that theme – Grilled Bagel (any kind), Egg in Hole and Lox. A n easy recipe, quick – 10 minutes and delicious. Here.s how to do it.

Ingredients – (Serves 2)
2 Bagels, any kind
4 lg Eggs
Lox
unsalted Butter
Micro Greens, any kind, I like Alfalfa/Broccoli

Directions –
1. Cut each bagel in half, leaving half of the hole with the bagel hole. Enlarge the hole if necessary.
2. Thoroughly butter both sides of the cut bagel, Add butter and a little vegetable oil to a large skillet. Start to grill the bagel halves, cut side up. Grill until the bagel is browned, Turn bagel over and grill the cut side until barely browned. Add an egg to the hole and cook until the white is set.
3. Add a little water to the pan and cover with a glass lid. Cook until the yolk is set to your liking. Remove from pan and top with lox and then some sprouts on the lox. Serve immediately.

As you can see, I have changed the opening graphic. I was playing around with AI and came up with several of these. It fits with the Captain’s Shack. Robin and I thoroughly like scallops, especially sea scallops – the larger ones. We also enjoy brazing them, over medium low heat, and that is important. Here is the recipe. I know, there are several recipes available for a Viognier Sauce, but this one is one I came up with. https://www.rockinrs.com/CS-Scallops-Viognier.pdf. The recipe is scaled for 2, but you can easily adjust the recipe to suit your needs without adjusting the sauce.

Notice the light braise on the scallops and it is served with Creamed Spinach. A good combination. I always put fresh grated nutmeg in all by white sauces and a cream sauce is a white sauce. If you make these, and it is not difficult, just watch the heat and cook 2-3 minutes per side, and let us know how you liked them.
