ON THE RANGE WESTERN OMELET

This morning, I woke up and felt like having something different for breakfast.  Now, there are several reasons why this could be a problem.  First, I make a big breakfast every morning, so pretty much anything I can think of I've already had recently.  Second, I am trying to eat completely out of my cupboards this week without buying a lot of groceries.  I found some roast beef sandwich meat, and I always have onion on hand.  This turned out great and was enough for 3people ! 

Ingredients
1 Tbs. butter
5 eggs
1/8 cup milk
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 green pepper chopped
1/4 lb. roast beef sandwich meat
3 slices deluxe American cheese
salt and pepper

Heat up a griddle on the stove at a medium low heat.  Melt the butter and spread over the griddle.  Crack the eggs, add the milk, onion and green pepper.  Whisk and pour onto griddle, spreading it out into a large square with the spatula.  Next, salt and pepper.  Cook until you can start to smell the onions and pepper and the egg is not runny.  Add  the cheese and roast beef along one side.  Flip the other side over on top of the side with the cheese and roast beef.  Turn the heat to low and let cook until cheese is melted.  Serve with buttered English muffins.

What's Cooking Today? Breakfast Calzone!

There is nothing like a nice breakfast in the morning to start the day right.  Try this one.  I came up with this as an idea to use up some leftover pizza dough. 

Ingredients

pizza dough
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 onion chopped
4 strips bacon cooked and broken into pieces
1 cup cheddar cheese
8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a heavy skillet, cook bacon, break into pieces, and set aside.  Drain bacon grease off.  Add the onion to the pan and saute while preparing the egg.  In a cereal bowl, add eggs and milk and whisk.  Put the egg in the skillet on top of the onions that are cooking , salt and pepper and cook while  scrambling.  While the eggs are cooking, add the olive oil to a cookie sheet and grease the pan.  Now, press in the pizza dough.  When the eggs and onions are done, put them right in the center of the pan going the long way.  Make sure to leave plenty of dough on the ends and sides without anything on it.  Next, add the cheddar cheese on top the the eggs.  Then, put the bacon on top of the cheese.  Finally, it's time to fold the dough.  First, fold the long sides in so that they overlap each other.  Second, fold in both ends so that all of the filling is covered, making sure to press the dough so that there isn't any gaps.  Third, take a sharp knife and make about 5 small angle cuts along the top of the dough.  It is time to bake it. Put it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.  Cut and serve.  I served it with fresh diced  pears.  My family rated it 4 stars.  ENJOY!!
