Chocolate Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 tbsp Droste® (Dutch process) cocoa powder
1-2 tsp tahini sauce (to taste)
1-2 tsp light brown sugar (to taste)
Lightly oil cast iron* skillet. Break eggs into cold skillet. Add other
ingredients. Scramble with egg
whisk (preferable) or fork. Turn heat on low
setting. Keep scrambling the mixture whilst it is cooking. Be patient, it
will take 20 minutes or more until the eggs set (low heat and patience
are the secret of cooking eggs). Good for breakfast or dessert, as the
taste is similar to chocolate pudding.

*Cast iron skillets heat more evenly than aluminum ones. You may use an
aluminum skillet if you have no other.

Thermonuclear Garlic Bread
This one got mixed in with Hattie's egg recipes. It's tasty and
delicious to be sure, but really, someone should talk to her about
organizing her recipe drawer.
Ingredients:
1 loaf Italian bread, sliced lengthwise
1/2 stick butter or margarine
2 - 3 large cloves fresh garlic, mashed or minced
Parmesan sprinkle cheese
Black pepper
1/8 cup chopped onion (optional)
2 oz. grated Romano cheese (optional)
Preheat oven to about 350° (not critical). Butter the two halves
of the bread loaf with a fairly thick layer. Spread the mashed or minced
garlic evenly over the buttered surface of the bread. Sprinkle liberally
with the Parmesan cheese. Add a dash of black pepper and/or other spices,
to taste. Optionally, top with chopped onion and Romano cheese. Place the
two halves of the bread together, face-to-face, and wrap the entire loaf
in aluminum foil. Place into oven and let bake for about half an hour.
Servings: 4
