Reptile Recipes

My wife has been away for a few days so I did some experiments with reptile (she is not a fan of reptile :-) Here is a quick summary of my recipes:

Experiment 1: Crocodile egg and cheese sandwich (See Picture)
This morning I sauteed a thin slice of South American Crocodile, fried an egg, and made a crocodile-egg-cheese breakfast sandwich. The ingredients are:
  • 3 ounces of South American crocodile
  • 1 ounce of sliced Derby with cheese sage
  • 1 whole wheat bun
  • 1 fried egg over easy

Experiment 2: Open face crocodile sandwiches (See Picture)

Carmelize about 1/2 of a small onion
saute some thin slices of crocodile under medium high heat, but don't overcook; add some salt and pepper and a touch of Emeril's Essence.
Slice several pieces of sharp cheddar cheese
Heat some marina sauce

Put the cheddar cheese on each piece of rye bread and toast until the cheese is melted. Place the carmelized onions over the cheese toast and then add the sauteed crocodile. On the second piece of toast do the same thing, but add some hot marinara sauce.

Experiment 3: Breaded frog legs

This was simple. I just coated some frog legs with egg and then dipped the legs into breadcrumbs. I broiled the frog legs (turning once) and they crumbs were nicely brown.

Experiment 4: Frog legs with chopped spam and tomato sauce over spinach

I sauteed about 6 frog legs and some chopped spam. I heated some frozen spinach, drained the water, and spread the spinach across a plate. Then I spread the chopped spam over the spinach, put the frog legs over the spinach and poured warm tomato sauce over the meaty portion of the frog legs.
