Breakfast Sandwiches

I know they say "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," but I rarely eat breakfast.  Either I lose track of time or, more often than not, my stomach isn't ready for food early in the morning.  I've been trying to make a point of eating breakfast, to help get on a better eating schedule, and to be a good example for my kids.  One thing that I've always found quick and easy, are Jimmy Dean's bacon, egg and cheese biscuits.  I only buy them when they're on sale, which isn't very often, but when we have them, I tend to grab one for breakfast.  I want to have these on hand more, so I decided to make my own.  I know I need to have different choices, and not eat these every morning, but I figured, it's a start.  They were so easy to whip up and now I have 8 of them, all wrapped up in the freezer, ready to pull out for a quick, filling breakfast.

I started by baking the bacon.  I like to bake it because it keeps it nice and flat for sandwiches.  I baked the slices at 375 for 10-12 minutes.  I used Grand's Honey Butter biscuits and cooked them according to the package.



Then I cracked 9 eggs into a bowl, added a splash of milk and a little salt and pepper, and whisked.  I poured it into my greased 9 x 13 cake pan, and baked for about 13 minutes at 35o degrees.  Long enough for the eggs to be cooked through, but not browned.



I used one of my canning jars to cut circles in the eggs.  There was a little bit of leftover egg so I saved it and Lucas will eat it tomorrow for breakfast :)



Once every thing was cooled off, it was time to assemble.  I put the cheese on the bottom, egg next, bacon on top of that and topped it with the top of the biscuit.



I wrapped each one in saran wrap, put them in freezer bags and voila!  :)  I can either put one in the fridge to thaw overnight, or take it out of the freezer, wrap it in a paper towel and microwave.  So simple!

 

It's Going To Be A Good Day

In a little bit the kids and I are going for a walk.  It's a nice cool morning and I'm glad we're getting back into the swing of things.  After not going for about three weeks, because a sweltering heat and then letting my tattoo heal, I'm getting my motivation back.  After we get back, it's off to the store to pick up a few things and when we get back home, there's lots of cleaning to be done.  Kathy is coming over to spend the day with us and I'm so excited!  I miss our visits and girl time!  I hope I can get everything done before she gets here, but if I don't, I know she won't mind.  :)  I'm making breakfast for dinner tonight.  Pancakes, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs and smoky links.  Yum!  Time to get this show on the road!

Blueberry Cheese Rolls

This is such a tasty treat for breakfast.  I've only tried it using blueberries, like the recipe calls for, but I bet strawberries or any other berries would be great too!  Here's the recipe:

1 pkg. (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

4 oz.  (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened

2 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 cup  blueberries, divided

 

PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Unroll dough into four rectangles; firmly press perforations together to seal.

COMBINE Neufchatel and sugar; spread onto dough rectangles to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top evenly with blueberries. Bring opposite corners of rectangles together; press together to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet.

BAKE 11 to 13 min. or until golden brown.
