An Aeggekage is a traditional Danish oven pancake, usually served as a buffet item or as a dessert for a family holiday meal. It is a light, cake-like dish that is not too sweet and absolutely delicious with fresh seasonal berries and fresh whipped cream! (Think of it as a sweetened Yorkshire pudding). Just make sure you serve immediately, this pancake does not do well cold nor is it a good leftover. But chances are you won't have any remaining Aeggekage to worry about!

Bibi's Chicken Pot Pie
Not your usual chicken pot pie, this recipe adds a bit of sausage to the chicken, and I opted for vegetables that might not be in your mom's pot pie! In addition, the crust has some celery seed and paprika added, for some extra savory goodness, and it works well with cooked dark chicken. Serve with a salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.
