Good luck with the 'maters, Nancy. I did make a lasagna a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't 90°, I have a/c, I used canned tomatoes (given no tomato bushes and cans that taste like fresh) and I bought the sausage and lasagna sheets. :) And it was barbecue barbecue chicken lasagna which seems more summery. :)

You put hard boiled eggs in lasagna? Just chop them in?

Wow! I’m impressed! That’s a lot of work for anybody! Let alone in that heat. Just curious boiled eggs in lasagna? Or am I misreading that?

When I moved into a house with central air in 1971....my thoughts on cooking in the summer changed....The oven heats and the air conditioner cools! But before that....hoo boy! My son who's birthday is June 25 always wanted a roast turkey....I put a nesco roaster on the car port!!

ask me in 30 years .... *grin*

ETA ..... oh degrees!

our AC has been acting wonky all summer and I get yelled at every time I use the stove. I made a very nice lasagna the other day with brats (deconstructed) and a cottage cheese, poblano pepper and spinach layer ... just two layers of lasagna noodle. Better every day as the flavors 'marry'.

Yes, I mix chopped boiled eggs with the cottage cheese as a layer. Yummy!

Been doing it since I started cooking about 50 years ago.

Nancy, you're a trouper! It's been really hot here, and I try to avoid the oven as much as possible.

The chopped eggs in lasagna are a new one to me. One of my favorite lasagna fillings is ricotta, eggs, spinach, Parm and sauteed mushrooms.

pinkmountain....the heat is part of the reason I switched from canning to freezing. You still have to cook stuff, but crock pots and instant pots help with that!

And being retired means I can cook in the cool of the morning!

Normally, the lasagna filling is made with raw/beaten eggs mixed with the parm and ricotta cheese etc. I have to say that I have never heard of boiled eggs in a lasagna dish! I guess it would taste OK but doesn't sound quite right to me. I think that someone, somewhere along the line, got confused on the recipe instructions and thought they meant to put boiled eggs in there when what they were supposed to do is mix it all up with the raw eggs and so a tradition was born. HA!

The hard boiled chopped eggs in a casserole makes it something else....maybe "pastacina"?

I was thinking ... more like a beignet ....

oops, wrong thread

arkgirl,lindac got the recipe from my mom 50 + years ago! It's lasagne to me!

Glad I'm not the only one that tosses the tomatoes into the freezer for a cooler cooking/canning day! I learned that trick when I was working lots of hours in the summer, and the heating of the house was more useful in the winter :)

Hadn't heard of using hard boiled eggs in the cheese mix before, going to have to try that. I learned the raw eggs in the cheese mixture, but hard boiled sounds interesting.

I haven't made lasagna in decades, but plan to try it in the IP some time soon.

twice this week ... it's better day two, but IBID
