CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
CHRISTMAS-MORNING CASSEROLE Ingredients: - Butter, for greasing - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil - 1/2 cup finely diced pepperoni (2 ounces) - 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps cut into 3/4-inch pieces - 1 medium onion, minced - 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces - 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning - 8 large eggs - 3 cups whole milk - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1/2 teaspoon pepper - 3/4 pound day-old challah, sliced 1 inch thick and cut into 1-inch dice (10 cups) - 6 ounces Black Forest ham, finely diced (1 1/4 cups) - 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (1/4 pound ) - 1 cup shredded aged white cheddar cheese (1/4 pound ) - 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions, plus thinly sliced scallions for garnish - Hot sauce, for serving
Directions:
Step 1: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the pepperoni and cook over moderate heat until the fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the shiitake and cook until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 7 minutes; let cool completely. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, mustard, soy sauce, pepper and 2 teaspoons of salt. Add the cooled vegetable mixture, challah, ham, both cheeses and the chopped scallions and mix well. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°. Uncover the casserole and bake for about 50 minutes, until it’s just set and the top is browned. Let stand for 10 minutes, then top with thinly sliced scallions and serve with hot sauce.

OVERNIGHT GINGERBREAD OAT WAFFLES
Ingredients:
5.5 ounces old fashioned rolled oats 4 ounces all-purpose flour 3 TBSP pure cane sugar 1 1⁄2 tsp instant dry yeast 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tbsp ground ginger 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon 3 large eggs beaten 2 ounces butter melted, cooled slightly 1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk room temperature 1⁄2 cup molasses Instructions:
• Making the Oat Flour • Toast the oats in a frying pan set over medium heat. Stir ocassionally until toasted, you should be able to start smelling them slightly. Should take about 3 minutes. • Remove oats from heat and allow to cool. • Add the oats to your food processor. Process until they are the same consistency of your all-purpose flour. It should take no more than 3 minutes. • Making the Batter • In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the homemade oat flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and kosher salt. • In a second mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then slowly drizzle in the melted butter as you whisk it. Add in the buttermilk and molasses, thoroughly combine. Sprinkle the yeast on top. • Add the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, stir to just combine. Don't over mix. Any small lumps will work their way out when you cook them. • Cover and allow the batter to rise in the fridge overnight. • Cooking the Waffles • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees for keeping the cooked waffles warm. • Using a 1⁄2 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the waffle iron towards the center. Close the iron and cook until brown. Adjust the amount of batter you use depending if the first waffle filled the iron or not. Using a smaller amount if overflowing or using more if the waffle didn't completely fill the iron. • Place the finished waffle into your oven, directly on the rack. Do not stack. This will keep your waffles hot and crispy.
