Broccoli & Bacon Quiche with Pepper Jack Cheese
Quiche makes a great meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Quiches are easy to make in advance, refrigerates well, and reheats well (think yummy leftovers). My recipe for Broccoli & Bacon Quiche with Pepper Jack Cheese is certain to be a crowd favorite. It’s packed with tender broccoli, crispy, salty bacon, and spicy pepper jack cheese. The recipe can be found here. Start by letting the pie crust sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes to soften. I like to use refrigerated pie crust for the simplicity of it, but you can use homemade if you prefer. Once softened, unroll the pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Microwave the broccoli according to package instructions. Set aside to cool slightly. I find it easiest to use “heat and serve” frozen broccoli. If you prefer, you … Continue reading

Puff Pastry Breakfast Pizzas
Puff Pastry Breakfast Pizzas are a quick breakfast or brunch idea that are easy to make and will be a fan favorite. These aren’t your traditional pizzas with marinara sauce and pizza toppings. They are completely made up of “breakfast food” items. The crust is puff pastry so it’s incredibly light, flakey, and buttery. You combine Havarti and parmesan cheese to get this creamy, melty, cheesy goodness in every bite. I like to use maple bacon because I love the maple flavor and think it pairs well with the salty elements in this recipe, but you could substitute any flavor of bacon or even use Canadian bacon or sausage. The eggs are cooked to your liking (whether you want a hard yolk or runny yolk). I haven’t tried this recipe with scrambled eggs but I’m sure they would yield a similar result. This is going to be a breakfast meal you will love and want to make … Continue reading

Ham & Gruyere Quiche
A simple Ham & Gruyere Quiche is sure to please your taste buds so look no further for a quick and easy (yet delicious) breakfast that is perfect for a weekday morning or weekend brunch! If you are unfamiliar with gruyere cheese, it’s a traditional Swiss cheese that is semi-hard and has a rich, creamy, salty, and nutty flavor. It works well as a substitute for Swiss cheese in recipes but also tastes great on its own with some crackers or bread. In this quiche recipe, the gruyere cheese pairs well with the tender and salty ham and the soft and creamy eggs. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Next prepare the pie crust. If you are using frozen pie crust, make sure it has time to fully thaw before you start. If you are using refrigerated pie crust, let it sit on the counter … Continue reading

Carbonara Baked Potato
Carbonara Baked Potatoes are something we tried recently, and I would definitely make again! You are probably most familiar with Pasta Carbonara, but this is a spin on the traditional Italian dish. Carbonara is essentially pancetta or bacon, with eggs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and maybe a little olive oil. It’s comfort food at its finest and super yummy when paired with baked potatoes 😊 The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the potatoes. Use a fork to pierce the potatoes on all sides (plus a few extra for good measure). Rub each potato with a little olive oil and place on the baking sheet. I also like to sprinkle mine with a little salt but it’s optional. Bake for 1 hour or until tender (aka you can easily pierce the potato with a fork). While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon according to … Continue reading

Breakfast Pizza with Hash Brown Crust
Pizza for breakfast? Yes please! I could, without a doubt, eat pizza for breakfast every day. I know there is conflicting information out there…is pizza a breakfast food? Do you eat it hot or cold? And so on. This recipe, however, is specifically for BREAKFAST pizza, so you can’t go wrong! The recipe can be found here. The crust is made of hash browns, not a traditional pizza crust. It gives it a nice crunch while also including a favorite breakfast item in the recipe. The top is loaded with eggs, cheese, and the veggies of your choice. You can bake the eggs to meet your taste; bake a little longer for no runny yolk or bake a little less for a runny yolk. Don’t like bell peppers but love mushrooms? Skip the peppers and use mushrooms. Get the idea? The recipe does list specific ingredients, but you can substitute to meet your needs. Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Line … Continue reading

Pizza for Breakfast!
Two of my favorite things to eat are breakfast foods and pizza. There is nothing like a good brunch with plenty of options to choose from but there is also something so satisfying about leftover pizza for breakfast. So really, pizza is a breakfast food 🙂 Today I want to share with you my recipe for a super simple Breakfast Pizza. We actually ate this for dinner one night (breakfast for dinner = brinner at our house) and it was the perfect meal, but you could easily whip this up on the weekend for breakfast. It’s a quick recipe that is ready in under 30 minutes and tastes incredible. The recipe is also customizable. We had cheese, bacon, and egg pizza but you could substitute the bacon with sausage, add some diced onions or bell peppers, etc. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon to package … Continue reading

Top o’ the Morning
St Patrick’s Day is fun day to celebrate, whether you are Irish or not. You can typically find a parade or two around town, Irish themed food and drinks at your favorite restaurant or bar, and plenty of people wearing green! It’s a festive day to celebrate and will unfortunately look a lot different this year due to COVID. BUT…that doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate at home! We are going to celebrate by having breakfast for dinner. You don’t tend to hear of too many Irish breakfast foods but we’re going to make it work! The food doesn’t have to be Irish necessarily but can be themed to fit the event. In this case, we’re going to make Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls and Shamrock Fried Eggs. So instead of being traditional Irish food, we are shaping the food and adding some green elements to fit with the typical colors of … Continue reading

Savory Sandwiches
Monte Cristo Sandwiches are my new go to sandwich! They are served warm, so the cheese is perfectly melted, the bread is toasted, and the meat just seems to be extra tender and juicy. It’s not quite a panini, because you aren’t pressing the sandwich or grilling it, but instead you are baking it. I like to use French Toast as the bread as well. It adds a little extra something to each bite! The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the French Toast. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. A pie plate or small baking dish works really well for this. Preheat a griddle to medium heat (or use a skillet). Melt a small amount of butter on … Continue reading

Pancake Breakfast Tacos
Just when you thought breakfast couldn’t get any better, along comes Pancake Breakfast Tacos! All your favorite breakfast foods are combined in a pancake shell to create these breakfast tacos; piled high with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Super yummy and easy to make, so start your morning right with Pancake Breakfast Tacos! The recipe can be found here. Start by making the pancake mixture according to package instructions. Heat a flat-bottomed skillet or griddle. Once hot, add the pancake batter and cook the pancakes according to package instructions. I made 6 large pancakes but make however many batches necessary to feed your family or guests. If you are making multiple batches, I recommend preheating the oven to 200 degrees and placing the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven to stay warm while the rest of the pancakes are cooking. You can always place the cooked pancakes … Continue reading
