Mix Ingredients

Shape the mixture into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to help it cook evenly.

Form the Patty

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Heat the Grill or Pan

Place the patty on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

In the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the patty and cover to melt.

Add Cheese

Spread butter on the cut sides of the burger bun and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix Dough Ingredients

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Let Dough Rise

Preheat Oven

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 1/4 inch thick). Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Roll Out Dough

Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Rinse the fresh calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are free from excess moisture.

Prepare the Calamari

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry breading mixture.

Make the Breading

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until fully combined.

Prepare Egg Mixture

Dip each calamari ring first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the dry breading mixture. Shake off any excess flour and set aside on a plate.

Bread the Calamari

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat Oil

Working in small batches, carefully add the breaded calamari rings to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Fry the Calamari

Use a slotted spoon to remove the calamari and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining calamari.

Drain and Serve

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Cook the Marinara Sauce

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Remove from heat and allow the marinara sauce to cool slightly before serving alongside the fried calamari.

Preheat the Oven

Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold running water. Pat them dry with a towel.

Wash and Bake Potatoes

Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on all sides.

Prick and Oil the Potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Bake the Potatoes

Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise.

Cool and Cut Potatoes

Using a spoon, carefully scoop out some of the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.

Scoop Out the Flesh

Brush the insides of the potato skins with a bit more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Brush with Oil

Place the potato skins cut-side up on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden.

Broil the Skins

Remove the skins from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon generously into each skin.

Add Toppings

Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Melt the Cheese

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with a side of sour cream.

In a large pot, place the eggs and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes.

Boil the Eggs

After the time has elapsed, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Allow them to cool for about 5-10 minutes.

Cool the Eggs

Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel the shells under running water to make it easier. Set the peeled eggs aside.

Peel the Eggs

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the yolks. Mash the mixture together until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Filling

Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.

Fill the Egg Whites

Sprinkle the filled eggs with crumbled bacon and a dash of paprika for presentation.

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

Prepare Flax Egg

In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are finely chopped but not pureed.

Chop Walnuts

In a large bowl, combine chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, flax egg, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into burger patties.

Form Patties

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil, and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
