- 6 cups water
- 3 packages instant ramen noodles , 3 ounce
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic , minced

Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.

Whisk eggs, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons water, parsley, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

Garlic Butter Baked Brie in a Box
This garlic butter baked Brie in a box uses the wooden box base that the cheese is sold in to hold the melty Brie together in the oven. Nestled in the lid after baking, it makes a beautiful presentation.
Onion Jam
This onion jam is a family favorite. Expect a few wrinkled noses, maybe at the title, but the result is worth the effort. This recipe may not be the best for beginner cooks since there are a couple of potentially tricky steps. Serve a cup of jam over a bar of cream cheese with crackers or as a spread for meat sandwiches.
Best Pumpkin Cheesecake
If you like pumpkin pie and cheesecake, this is this best of both worlds. My mother made this once, many years ago and I have been making them ever since. This recipe makes 2 - 9 inch pies.
