Marcia and I attended a food networking event last night called Olive Oil, Spices and Wine-Oh My! The event was run by two Registered Dietitians Brooke Schantz and Anne Milliing and they did an amazing job. It was a wonderful evening talking and tasting with other foodies. We heard about the different oils and balsamic vinegars at Old Towne Oil and had a tasting of several products. Chef Ranelle Kirchner shared samples and recipes using different oils and spices. The recipes included hummus, eggplant spread, squash bran muffins and more.
The next stop on the tour was the Spice House where we learned more about the world of spices. I joked that I was “spicewhelmed” and couldn’t decide what to get because there were so many awesome spices! While looking around the store, I noticed how many spices noted that they would be good with eggs. This reminded me once more that eggs are so versatile and you can have them a different way every day just by tweaking the spices you use.
The spices are great for omelets, quiche, scrambled eggs and more. So many recipes, so many spices!
The Spice House also had many different mixed blends that would give your taste buds a workout!
One thing that I bought last night was white truffle salt (use sparklingly). This will make a yummy egg treat for breakfast!
So the next time you want to mix up your egg routine, try any or a mix of these spices!
In honor of our evening I found a recipe from Food and Wine. Here is a recipe for a Spinach, Feta and Tarragon Frittata (used olive oil and spices). Enjoy and let your taste buds have fun-remember there is so much more beyond salt and pepper.
Let us know your favorite spices on eggs!
