Small Batch Sheet Pan Eggs
Morning ready is simple with Small Batch Sheet Pan Eggs, the newest little jewel.
SHEET PAN EGGS
A quick bake the night before assures you of weekday of 4 servings of Small Bath Sheet Pan Eggs, ready to go. I took a full-sheet pan eggs recipe, and reduced the size to serve 4-perfect small family weekday or workweek breakfasts.
Customize the add ins to suite your own tastes. I like using leftover salad, greens, chives, and chunks of Parmesan cheese.
These eggs are easy to prepare the night before. Bake the eggs in the 1/8 sheet pan for about 15 minutes for 4 perfect servings, cover and store in the regrigerator. In the morning remove slices and warm gently in the microwave or low oven.
GRAB & GO BREAKFAST
The Sheet Pan Egg squares are a great grab and go breakfast. A nice alternative to a slice of toast. They boast a serving of protein and greens all in one convenient square.

Welcome Bijouxs Collection Membership
Welcome to change. Since 2009 Bijouxs Little Jewels has been bringing you hundreds of my favorite recipes from my personal collection for free along with ad-free experience. I will continue to provide beautiful & simple recipes for the home cook.
THE COLLECTION MEMBERSHIP
New to the Bijouxs Little Jewels blog is the Membership Collection. The quickly changing world of social media created great changes within the blogging and all content websites. You may have noticed that almost all major websites require a subscription to view their content. This in part is due to the costs to run a blog/website, including fees for servers, and all technical peripherals and needed tech to support a blog/website platform. All of this has made it cost prohibitive to provide you with free recipe content.
TEN YEARS OF RECIPES
Change is the only thing that is consistent. I have been proud to provide you for over 10 years free content and an ad-free experience. The Bijouxs Membership Collection will continue to bring you access to all 500+ recipes for a small membership fee. It’s $35, the price of a cookbook, for a 1-year subscription.* You also won’t have to go searching for or lug a heavy cookbook in the kitchen. Less clutter and we can save some trees.
BEAUTIFUL FOOD BY DESIGN
To my many loyal readers over the past 10 years, I thank you for your support! I also now thank all of you who subscribe to my independent project. Memberships will ensure the continuation of the Bijouxs Little Jewels from the Kitchen as you know it and love it. I will be updating things in the coming weeks.
For now, I thank you all!

Marsala Olive Oil Cake
Bijouxs has lots of love for Olive Oil cakes. Baking got me through the days of cooking confinement. Thank goodness that is all behind us. I bring you Marsala Olive Oil Cake, another Little Jewel from the Kitchen.
OLIVE OIL CAKE
Marsala Olive Oil Cake is a version of the the now famous olive oil cake, Torta di Olio, from Maialino Restaurent in NYC. I posted my citrus take on that cake here. I love to see recipes get passed around, and changed, as happens many times with most of us who cook. Just a little more of this and less of that. I saw this cake by Chef Camilla Marcus, via Eye Swoon and adapted it. Just what I needed another olive oil cake recipe! One reason I love these sturdy olive oil cakes it that they are not a bit fussy and one-bowl wonders. I chose Marsala for the fotified wine, I feel Marsala is under utilized for baking. Marsala was a popular cooking wine back when I started my food education.
RECIPE ARCHIVE
This cake is a recipe I photographed during the dark days of the confinement. I was able to get some groceries delivered so I kept calm and cooked. Was it really two years ago? I built quite an archive during that period, with about 20 more recipes that are waiting to be shared. “Cooking can keep a person who tries sane” this truth from John Irving.
So, let’s keep cooking with Bijouxs Little Jewels from the Kitchen.
Bijouxs Bites: Portuguese Sausage Rolls
It’s been a minute since I posted a Bijouxs Bites recipe! Ok, here is one I use often when enteratining guests. Retro-favorite favorite pigs-in-a blanket come to mind with Portuguese Sausage Rolls-a simple little bite from the Bijouxs Kitchen.
PIGS IN BLANKETS
I confess, I always loved when my Mom made Pigs-in-Blankets, even though she made them with ready-made biscuit dough and little smokey sausages, so very retro. Fast foward, still loving these crispy bites I now make them with all-butter puff pastry and smoked Portuguese sausage. Also great, is no need for perfection, just slice dough to fit sausage.
PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE
This Hawaiian breakfast classic landed on my radar during my honeymoon in Hawaii; served with scrambled eggs it became my go-to breakfast. Back home in LA we found a great little cafe in Eagle Rock that served the same breakfast, so that was now on our Sunday breakfast repeat. A million years (seriously) have passed but somehow Portuguese sausage once again came into view at my local Whole Foods, into the basket it went.
My first thought was breakfast, but I noticed sausage rolls on IG for parties…hum let’s do it with Portuguese sauage. The test recipe turned out to be a winner and sooooo easy. I plan on serving these as part of a summer appetizer. Savor another Little Jewel from my Bijouxs Kitchen to yours.
