ONCE a MONTH COOKING.. a Breakfast Session

Once a Month Cooking brought to you by www.apronmadness.com

Today I am starting with Breakfast meals. Kids or Hubby can grab... nuke & have a fast healthy breakfast.

..

Sandwiches... pocket sandwiches... burittos & more. All are great for a fast breakfast.

..

Ingred: (all amounts will totally depend on your family size & how many of each item you want) breakfast sausage, eggs, potatoes, onions, cresent dough, biscuit dough (pillsbury type works great) , bacon, tortillas, cheese (both slices & shredded... your choice of flavor). ... leftover ham & green peppers (optional)

..

In 1 fry pan... cook up most of the sausage .... with the rest, cook some patties for sandwiches.

Wash & quarter potatoes.... start them boiling. When fork tender... drain, cool & shred. Add salt & pepper.

..

In another fry pan... saute chopped onions, ham & green peppers (all optional to your taste)

.

One more fry pan & cook bacon

.

In a bowl... scramble a couple dozen or so eggs. Salt & pepper (don't cook yet)

.

Bake biscuits according to directions.

.

NOW... assembly time. First in a baking dish... grease the bottom & spread shredded potatoes. Layer with some cooked sausage, pour in a layer of raw eggs, sprinkle with onion mix if you want & top with shredded cheese. over with foil & bake at about 375 till eggs are cooked.

Now once its done... let cool & then cut in about 3x3 inch squares. Flash freeze (leave in pan... put in freezer for a few hrs... till frozen) then pop out & put 1 or 2 squares in each ziploc & put back in freezer.

.

While that is baking....

Make some scrambled egg "patties". In a small fry pan, pour a little egg in & as it's cooking, lift the edges & sorta pour the egg to the edge. Once you have it almost fully cooked... flip in half & in half again. If you don't want them that thick... fold in half, flip on plate & cut in half.

.

Assemble the cut baked biscuit, egg, slice of cheese & either sausage patty or bacon. Wrap each in wax paper & put a few in ziplocks... label with sharpie.

.

Now you can scramble the rest of eggs... add onion mixture, rest of sausage, any bacon & cheese.

For Breakfast Burritos ... Warm tortilla & add mixture & some shedded potatoes if you like. Fold up a sides, roll & wrap in wax paper. Put a few in each ziplock, label & freeze.

.

For Breakfast Pockets ... open cresent dough. seal 2 triangles to make a square. Put egg mixture on 1/2 & fold dough over & seal. Bake according to package dough directions. Let cool... put on a plate of cool cookie sheet & flash freeze. (put plate or sheet of cooled pockets in the freezer for a few hours. When frozen, put them in a ziplock... label & freeze.

.

*** You can also make a batch of pancakes or waffles & freeze with a piece of wax paper between each. Then just nuke for 20 seconds or so.

.

Now you have enough breakfast items for a month. All you have to do it take out what you want & either defrost & heat in microwave or put on a sheet & bake till hot.
