Remove. Cool. Slice. <br /><br />Mix a pint of sour cream with enough milk to thin it to thin cream consistency. In a casserole dish put a layer of potato slices and a layer of egg slices (you can cruble the egg if you prefer) and salt and pepper to taste and pour some of the sauce on it. Repeat until all the eggs and potatoes are used up and the sauce is poured over.<br /><br />Bake at least 30 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit..........<br /><br />Serve with a green mixed salad.<br /><br />----------------------------------<br />Another simple Hungarian everyday recipe is made by boiling a pound of pasta of your favorite sort. (In the real recipe they would be small squares of noodle dough.) Mix with a pint of sour cream mixed with a pint of cottage cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Warm in a slow oven for a half an hour. <br /><br />Serve with some sort of salad. It could be lettuce, or Hungarian sweet and sour cucumber salad or sweet and sour tomato and onion salad.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-45662359940046151482009-09-17T08:43:36.341+10:002009-09-17T08:43:36.341+10:00Omlettes are a favourite simple meal here.

The chooks are doing their spring thing and laying as fast as they can get into a spare laying box. <br /><br />We have an omlette with salad and fresh bread, simple and satisfying.<br /><br />LyndaCrunchie's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561893477545578734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-75908583074308082482009-09-17T06:43:41.533+10:002009-09-17T06:43:41.533+10:00Not that great and full of ingredients I don't...Not that great and full of ingredients I don't normally have in my pantry!<br /><br />The creamed spinach and pasta idea looks really yummy.

It is a surprisingly low fat, satisfying meal. <br /><br />If there's time for it, roasting a chicken is another simple affair. <br /><br />I'm always looking for good, simple meals, too. Unfortunately, a lot of five minute meal recipes you find in magazines end up not being that great.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />francesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.com
