(CBS) Less than a year ago, top young chef John Fraser opened his first restaurant, and it quickly became a New York hot spot. Dovetail got a highly-coveted three-star rating from The New York Times, and is showing no signs of slowing. Fraser is known for his use of farm-fresh produce and classical European technique. Recently, Dovetail began serving brunch, so The Saturday Early Show challenged Fraser to prepare a three-star, three-course brunch for four on our shoestring budget of just $40. He opted for dishes straight from Dovetail's menu. MENU Bacon Spinach & Goat Cheese Frittata French Toast with Fig Salad Steamed Gingerbread Pudding FOOD FACTS: Frittata: A type of Italian omelette that frequently features fillings such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Like a traditional French omelet, a frittata is prepared in a skillet. However, while an omelet is cooked on a stovetop and served folded, a frittata is first partially cooked on a stovetop, but then broiled to finish and served open-faced. Brioche: A highly-enriched French bread, whose high egg and butter content give it what's seen as a rich and tender crumb. It has a dark, golden and flaky crust from an egg wash applied before and after proofing. TAKE-HOME TIPS RECIPES Bacon Spinach & Goat Cheese Frittata 6 Eggs 1 cup Milk 2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 teaspoon salt 4 strips bacon, sliced into lardoons, slightly cooked 1 cup crumbled, goat cheese 2 scallions, chipped fine Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk eggs, milk, olive oil and salt in a mixing bowl. Gently fold in bacon, goat cheese, spinach and scallions. Place in a greased pie plate. Cook for 20-25 minutes until set and golden brown on top. For more recipes, go to Page 2. Continued 1 |
