This recipe for a delicious Apple Puff Pancake is good all by itself, but even better when served with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup (250 mL) milk
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
- 2/3 cup (175 mL) all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cinnamon
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- icing sugar for dusting
- maple syrup, as an accompaniment, if desired
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place the butter in a 10-inch (25 cm) deep dish pie plate or a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until well mixed and foamy. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add to the egg mixture and beat just until smooth. Set aside for a moment.
- Place the pie plate or baking dish into the oven and let heat until the butter is melted and hot. Remove from the oven and holding the dish carefully with oven mitts, swirl gently to coat the entire surface with butter. Quickly arrange the apple slices evenly on the bottom of the dish and pour in the batter.
- Place in the oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. Dust with icing sugar before cutting into wedges or squares. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup if you like.

Pizza Frittata!
•No touching knives or the stove
•Do not touch any appliances without adult supervision.
•Always wash your hands before handling food.
A cross between an omelette and a pizza, this frittata combines the best of both dishes. This delicious egg dish blends everyone’s favorite ingredients for a saucy scrambled supper your family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 cup (250 mL) chopped onion
- 1 cup (250 mL) sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup (250 mL) chopped green pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) diced pepperoni
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp. (30 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp. (12 mL) salt
- dash black pepper
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) spaghetti sauce (any kind)
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the broiler element of the oven. Arrange the top rack of the oven so that it is about 6-inches (15 cm) from the broiler element.
- In a 10-inch (25 cm) non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms and green pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is tender — about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the pepperoni and continue to cook for another 3 or 4 minutes, until the onion and mushrooms are lightly browned.
- In a bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet — but don’t stir. Turn the heat down to low and let the frittata cook until very nearly completely set — 12 to 15 minutes. The bottom will be browned (but not burned), the edges firmly set, and the middle will still be a bit soft. Remove from heat.
- Dollop the spaghetti sauce over the top of the frittata as evenly as possible and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Place the skillet onto the upper rack of the oven and let broil until the cheese is melted, bubbly and beginning to brown — 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for a minute or two before removing from the pan and cutting into wedges to serve.
