Key lime pie, a great dessert tip in the Chef’s Handyman food blog!

Chef's Handyman, Recipe Blog, The Mobile Food Inspiration!A room for dessert is a must! My first attention in the menu is always the dessert section. The starter and the main dish will be planned around sweets. During my stay in Florida I was surprised, about the different styles and shapes of the key lime pies. Some of them where real master pieces in design and taste!Chef's Handyman, Recipe Blog, The Mobile Food Inspiration! When the feast has finished, an after-dinner-walk might be the right thing to do.

What about a stopover at the Bok Tower Gardens www.boktowergardens.org ? The garden is located between Tampa and Orlando. I was so spellbound by this charming place. The garden architecture has a lot of variety. There are so many hidden adorable places for a rest.

Chef’s Handyman tip: Key lime pie, recipe for a 8-9 inch pie shell.

To make crust, combine cracker crumbs (e.g. graham) with the liquid butter in a bowl. Press the crumbs over the bottom of a 8-9 inch pie shell. Press the crumbs at the side of the pan as well. Bake in oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes. Then take the pan shell out. Add beans for blind-baking. The bottom will stay flat. Cool pie crust. When cooled remove the beans.Chef's Handyman, Recipe Blog, The Mobile Food Inspiration!

To make filling: Beat egg yolk until thick. Add condensed milk (sweet), grated lime rind and lime juice. Beat all ingredients. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie shell. Cool in fridge for about 5 hours, better overnight.

Decorate the pie with marzipan flowers or marzipan limes.

Shopping list for 4 serves (pie shell, 8-9 inches):
Eggs: 3-4 egg yolks
Dairy Products: 13 oz. condensed sweetened milk (canned), 5-6 tbsp. liquid butter
Fruits: 2-3 limes or 2 lemons
Cookies: 12 oz. cracker crumbs (e.g. graham)

So simple but great in taste, the Chef’s Handyman souvenir from Sanibel Island!

Chef's Handyman Food Blog, The Mobile Food Inspiration!A breakfast to go! Ok, something I know but I never will have. As I prefer to have my silence at least for some minutes before to leave the house. An egg sunny-side up to go – might something special. How can I manage to eat this bread when walking around? This was my thought, when standing in front of the counter of that great deli www.sanibeldeli.com in Sanibel Island. There was no way I had to try this egg bread.

When served I could not wait. I had to tear off the wrapping. Nothing dribbled out. The sunny-side up egg was still perfect. I tried to take a great snap. Even then, the bread was easy to eat and great in taste. Additional ingredients as beacon, ham, vegetables and cheese do top this awesome breakfast. I made some notes in my black book, to share later in my Chef’s Handyman food blog. Actually the bread was so great, that I had days later a second one.

At the scenic view at the beaches of Sanibel Island will be the only place, where I prefer to have a breakfast to go!

For the Chef’s Handyman food blog I have substituted the Bagel with Italian Focaccia bread.

Preheat the Focaccia in oven. Fry the sunny-side up egg in a pan. Season the egg with salt and black pepper. Cut bell pepper in small pieces.

Cut the Focaccia bread in squares. Place the egg on bread. Garnish with bell pepper, corn, beans and rocket salad. Close the bread with another Focaccia square.

Shopping list for 4 serves:
Vegetables: 1 bell pepper, corn and beans (canned)
Salad: a hand full rocket salad
Eggs: 4-8
Bread: Focaccia about 600-800g or 20-25 oz.
Dairy Products: Butter

The bread can be topped with bacon, ham or cheese.
