Recipe of the Month: Baked Breakfast Burritos

We recently had a request for our famous baked breakfast burritos. Our guests love this southwestern entree every time we serve it. Here's our simple but delicious recipe:

Two cans of black, pinto, or kidney beans, or refried beans
Can of corn, chopped chilies, finely chopped onion, chopped green pepper (optional)
Eight 5-inch tortillas
Grated Cheddar cheese


4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Dash hot sauce (we like Cholula)


Grease 12x17 inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350. Mix together the beans and any other fillings (corn, chilies, etc.) till well blended. Put about a 1/3 cup of the bean filling in the center of each tortilla and top with about 2 Tbsp. grated cheese. Roll each tortilla up and arrange them seamside down in the prepared pan.

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, garlic salt, and hot sauce, and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the tortillas and bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

Recipe of the Month: Sugar-Free Shortbread

At the Castle Marne, we always make every effort to accommodate our guests' special dietary needs. We are happy to try out new recipes and techniques to make sure everyone has the chance to enjoy our delicious homemade food.

Try this version of our classic shortbread for a sweet treat anyone can enjoy:

Ingredients
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
1/2 cup Splenda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp  almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt

Using an electric mixer, cream butter, Splenda, and vanilla and almond extracts together in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and salt until well-blended. Cut flour mixture into butter mixture using a pastry fork until a cohesive dough has formed. Press dough into the bottom of a greased pie pan and slice before baking. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles or raw sugar for a pretty finish. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes or until firm. Let cool for at least 20 minutes, then reslice and serve.

Keep in mind that goods baked with Splenda will bake faster than with normal sugar, and will not appear to brown in the oven.

Happy sugar-free baking!
