1 -1/2 teaspoons
freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons

2/3 cup

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with canola cooking spray.
In a large heavy, nonstick skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and scallion in olive oil over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup of the ketchup and cook for about 1 minute more.
In large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable mixture, ground beef, bread crumbs, Eggology egg whites and parsley using your hands or a metal or wood spoon.
Add meatloaf mixture to prepared baking dish and shape into a 9-inch by 6-inch oval loaf and spread remaining ketchup over the loaf. Bake in oven for 1 hour or until cooked throughout. Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the top if desired and return to oven for a couple minutes longer.
To assemble each sandwich: Top a toasted or untoasted slice of bread with a warm slice of meatloaf. Sprinkle about 1-1/2 tablespoons of blue cheese crumbles over the top of the hot meatloaf and top that with several slices of tomato if desired. Add the top slice of bread and serve!
Preheat oven to 375 F. Heat oil in small saucepan. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add water and heat to boiling. Add broccoli, cover and allow to steam 3 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside.
Stir together flour, basil, mustard, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in milk, Eggology egg whites and egg white. Stir in vegetable mixture and shredded cheddar; set aside.
Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough in pan, fitting to cover bottom of plate smoothly and folding corners down evenly with top edge of pan. Brush entire sheet very lightly with melted butter.
Place a second sheet of phyllo in pan, crisscrossing over the first sheet and folding corners down evenly with edge of pan. Brush entire sheet very lightly with butter. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of phyllo, adjusting the position of the sheets so they completely cover the pan, folding corners down evenly with pan and brushing lightly with butter.
Spoon filling into phyllo crust. Overlap tomato slices in a decorative circle on top of filling. Very lightly brush the tomatoes and edges of the quiche with any remaining butter.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until almost set and lightly golden. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake 5 to 8 minutes longer, or until set. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a shallow dish, whisk together Eggology egg whites and milk. Dip each chicken breast in the mixture, then press into the bread crumbs.
Heat a little oil in a fry pan and fry each chicken breast just for about 15 seconds on each side. Heat the oven to 375-degrees and cook chicken for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven and place one cheese half on each piece, cover with ham, then top with the other cheese half.
Place back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven. Mix together mayo, mustard, honey and salt and pepper.
Slice open each hero roll (it's also good if you toast the bread a little in the oven, whatever you prefer). Spread a little mixture on one side of the bread. Add chicken and lettuce (we added avocado too--that was REALLY good). Repeat with each sandwich. Serve immediately.

Spinach & Ricotta Filled Agnolotti with Tomato Basil Sauce
Servings: 6
Notes: In Italian, agnolotti means “priests’ caps”, which is what they’re shaped like. Because round won ton wrappers (which can be stuffed and folded into half-moons) are difficult to find, we’ve used the square wrappers. The agnolotti need to be chilled for two hours before finishing.

Add 2 teaspoon oil to pan and place over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add spinach; sauté 3 minutes. Place spinach mixture in food processor; pulse 10 times or until finely chopped. Combine spinach mixture, ricotta, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and egg white in a medium bowl.
