Simple Shirred Eggs

Quick and easy breakfast that is tasty, filling, and low carb. It's great for a crowd, too, as it's just as easy to make a dozen as it is to make one. If making more than one, placing ramekins on a sheet pan is helpful.Submitted by: JAZZLEBUG

Quick Coq au Vin (Bon Appetit)

Delish...
"The quick coq au vin is a streamlined twist on the labor-intensive French classic. Instead of the chicken being browned in bacon fat and then braised in broth, Cognac, and wine while onions and mushrooms are cooked separately and the liquid then thickened, our skillet version takes just 45 minutes from start to finish. What's more, it captures all the savory richness of the original."Submitted by: AMADEAO

CRISP ROAST DUCK WITH PORT WINE GLAZE

Pekin ducks, also called Long Island ducks, are the only choice in most supermarkets. Almost always sold frozen, the duck must defrost in the refrigerator for at least one day before cooking. To feed six people, steam one duck after the other and then roast all the pieces together in an oversized roasting pan or a large jelly-roll pan.

Baked Eggs (and Egg whites) with Herbs

This baked egg dish is super simple, tasty, and a throwback to classic French cooking. Adding two egg whites to substitute for a whole egg lightens the calories, and lots of fresh herbs plus some parmesan and fat free cream keeps it fresh, but still decadent.Submitted by: MISSJMP
