I love breakfast foods. This week I have a few recipes. I couldn't narrow it down. The first is an oven omelette. I'm sure most of you have eaten one or made one at one point or another. They are super easy. I usually make them for dinner (as with most of my breakfast foods).
Oven Omelette
I got this recipe from my friend Laurie a while back
16 oz. pepperjack cheese
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
3 diced bell peppers
8 oz. cheddar
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1) Grate pepperjack cheese. Spread evenly on bottom of un-greased 13x9 baking dish. Stir in flour.
2) Slice mushrooms and peppers (you can use any veggie or sausage if you want.) and spread evenly on top of cheese.
3) Grate cheddar and spread evenly on top of veggies.
4) Beat eggs and milk together and pour into dish over cheese and veggies.
5) Bake at 350 degrees (preheated) for 45 minutes -1 hour. (The casserole should be relatively firm and golden brown around the edges.)
This is a great way to get veggies into your breakfast foods. I love this with peppers but spinach is actually really good too. If you don't like pepperjack cheese you can use a different kind. Of course, you can cut down on the cheese too and it still tastes good. I usually cut this recipe in half for the 4 of us.
Blueberry Buckle (think crumb cake)
This recipe is from my friend Leslie
2 Cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup softened butter
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 cups blueberries, well drained
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup softened butter
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan. Blend all buckle ingredients (except topping ingredients) for 30 seconds. Spread into pan. To make topping, mix the topping ingredients. Sprinkle topping onto the batter. Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.
Apple Oven Pancake -this tastes way better than my picture makes it look!
From the Essentials of Baking
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 cups diced, peeled tart apples (3 medium)
2 Tbsp firmly backed golden brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon strained
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Position rack in lower third of oven. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp of the butter. Add the apples and saute, turning as needed until just tender, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, lemon juice and connamon and stir to combine, remove from heat. Place 9x13 baking dish in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Remove the dish and add the remaining 2 tbps of butter to it. Tilt the dish to coat the bottom an sides with the butter. Spoon the sauteed apples over the bottom of the dish to make an even layer.
In a bowl (or food processor), combine the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla and salt and mix until blended (2 or 3 pulses in a food processor). Pour the batter over the hot fruit. Bake until puffed and golden brown 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust the top with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.
