Made my own dinner tonight
 

Melted a lot of butter in a CI frying pan. Dropped in a 5" Mission corn
tortilla, topped with a slice of American cheese. Whisked up an egg, half a
shell of cream and several squirts of hot sauce. Poured that on. Sprinkled
on some FGBP and Kosher salt. Simmered until I had burned the egg on the
bottom, damnit! Before dinner BG 107. One hour PP 108. Luckily, my daughter
knows how to care for cast ironware.

LOL! I'd probably use two skillets, one for the tortilla and one for
the egg...

Butter was the mistake, Nicky. That's what burned and stuck the tortilla
and everything else to the pan. Next time, I'll fry some bacon first and
use the fat to cook in. I'd hafta add the bacon to my dinner, <sigh>

If it is a properly seasooned cast iron pan it needs o fat for the coking,
just a bit for flavor.

When I get home from the gym I am hungry because I can't eat and then
exercise. My usual "brunch" is an egg beater with either a piece of
nuked bacon or a nuked turkey sausage on a Mission Carb-Balance®
low-carb flour tortilla. I have a little cloth thing that I put the
tortilla in and nuke it for 6 seconds to warm it up.

If I have nuked bacon then I put the tortilla in the paper towels that
the bacon was in.

In the absence of bacon, try adding some olive oil to the
butter. It allows slightly higher heat levels without
burning or sticking but retains the butter flavour.

I prolly shouldn't have used anything, Sis. My daughter has the CI's really
well seasoned and takes good care of them. Fortunately, she takes good care
of me, too! ;-)

Thanks, Alan. Olive oil and butter have a nice flavor and texture.

Hmmm... Very interesting recipe, I'll try it tomorrow.. I love it because it has a cream, cheese and corn which are my favorite ingredients..
