We finally made it! Friday breezes in like a tall drink of water. With that everything-is-going-to-be-ok look on his face. Come here you! Pull up a chair, I’ve got a delicious dish for you…
There is nothing like a late start to the day. Having the time to really savor a strong cup of coffee or two. I live for lazy weekend mornings. Maybe that’s why breakfast is my favorite meal.
Somehow a plentiful crop of lemon thyme and rosemary is springing up this year in our flower bed despite my brown thumb. I used fresh herbs in this recipe but you can use whatever you have on hand. All you need is maybe a fresh fruit salad and some sourdough toast, pour another cup of coffee and enjoy!
Perfect Purple Potato Casserole
3 purple potatoes cubed
1 handful cherry tomatoes halved
1 scallion thinly sliced
1 shallot diced
1 clove garlic diced
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk/milk substitute
Fresh thyme & rosemary, a few sprigs each coarsely chopped
1/4 cup olive tapenade (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
Sauté shallot, garlic, and potatoes in olive oil over medium heat until the potatoes are a little soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In small bowl beat the eggs and milk/milk substitute until light and fluffy.
Place the potatoes and egg mixture into a lightly oiled 8×8 baking dish. Add remaining ingredients except the mozzarella. Sprinkle cheese on last.
Cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes @ 375. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until top is golden brown and casserole appears to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Have a great weekend friends!

This potato doesn’t taste sweet then, does it? I don’t like sweet potato. I didn’t even like butternut pumpkin when I tried that. Too sweet. Had to add extra chili and lemon juice to the soup. My stomach felt at peace though.
But due to the recipe it seems to be a delicious course! Without the rosemary.
Fresh thyme is wonderful. Soups with green lentils and fresh thyme is soooo delicious.

Right Ninna, this isn’t a sweet potato. I love lentil soups too! Fresh herbs are the best.
