Scrambled Egg Nest

This is a fun way to serve some breakfast foods.  No surprise to some of you, but I actually served these to my family for dinner.  It was a HUGE hit! The only issue..I should of made a double batch! These would be a great addition to an Easter Brunch.  They take a little time, but are well worth the work!!

Scrambled Egg Nests
adapted from Family Fun
1 (3 1/2-cup) bag frozen shredded potatoes, defrosted
1/4 cup vegetable oil or butter (+1 Tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup finely diced onions
1/3 cup finely diced bell peppers
3/4 cup cooked sausage
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, the oil or butter, salt, and pepper. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture into each cup of a 12-serving muffin tin. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each cup, then bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the nests from the oven and allow them to cool.

Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and milk. Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.  Add 1 Tablespoon oil or butter to the pan and heat. Add the onions and peppers to the pan and saute until both are soft and the onions are slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until heated through. Add the egg mixture and stir until the eggs have set and small curds have formed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fill each muffin cup with some of the egg mixture, top with a sprinkling of the cheese.

 Place the nests in a 375° oven until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.

Serve and enjoy!!

A fun meal addition!!

Pizza Pinwheels

My Mom recently gave me a new cookbook, one that was put together by my dad's high school softball team.  It really has some good recipes in it!! I was excited to find this one and add my own twist to it! It was delicious!!

Pizza Pinwheels

pizza dough (1 recipe or 1 can refrigerated dough).

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 jar spaghetti or pizza sauce

1 tablespoon butter

garlic salt

Your choice of toppings ( I used pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms & olives)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray cookie sheet lightly with cooking spray and roll out your dough into a rectangle.  Spread with a small amount of sauce. Add a slight layer of cheese.

Then add your desired toppings.

Fold up the short ends and roll into a tube (cinnamon roll style).

Melt butter and add some garlic salt to taste. Brush over the top of your roll.(or rolls in my case. I doubled the recipe.)

With a knife poke a few small holes in the top (about 4 or 5 about 1/4 inch long each). This will allow the steam to escape and will lessen the chance of your filling breaking through and leaking out.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Dough should be lightly browned.

Let sit for a few minutes.

Slice.  Serve with pizza or spaghetti sauce on the side for dipping.

We also used ranch.

~You could do so many different combinations with this concept.  BBQ Chicken, Chicken Alfredo, oh the list is endless.  YUM:)
