Jake’s Breakfast Burritos

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Jake’s Breakfast Burritos

My brother, Jake, maybe in love with making these breakfast burritos. At first, I didn’t get it, but now after making them myself I definitely understand the hype. These breakfast burritos are amazing for meal prepping, but also perfect for clearing out your fridge of that extra produce. I added spinach, which Jake does not have in his burritos, he instead uses red & green peppers, but use what you like!

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs
  • 4 Strips of Bacon, sliced
  • 1 TSP Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Cup Spinach
  • 1/2 Cup Hot Peppers
  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 6-8 Tortillas, I like Mission but use whatever you like
  • Salt & Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Start, as always, by prepping your ingredients.

Throw your bacon in a skillet and cook just below your desired doneness. I prefer mine to be a bit chewy. Remove the bacon onto a towel-lined plate. Wash the pan.

Using the same pan, throw in the garlic and spinach and cook until wilted. Once done, throw back in the bacon + peppers and cook for about 1 more minute until melded.

On MED-HIGH heat, throw in the eggs + cheese + salt + pepper and cook until done, or no longer runny. Remove eggs from heat.

Onto making your burritos! Take your tortilla and place about 1/3 of the egg mixture in the middle. Take the top and bottom ends and fold them inward, then roll from one side to the another. Now my brother said I need to work on my rolling techniques so I guess don’t listen to me. Once rolled, place it back on the skillet, or I used my griddle. Cook until there are griddle marks on both sides.

Now here are Jake’s pro tips for perfect breakfast burritos:

-Allow burritos to cool before wrapping in the foil, steam from the burritos gets caught in the foil and the extra water can cause freezer burn

-Take your aluminum foil and place a paper towel on top. Wrap your burrito in the foil/paper towel. [ONLY IF YOU ARE REHEATING IN THE MICROWAVE]

TO REHEAT:

In the microwave: remove from foil, gently wet the paper towel, and reheat for about 2 minutes

In the oven: make sure first off your burrito is only wrapped in foil, and remove the paper towel if added. Preheat the oven to 375F and allow to reheat for about 10 minutes. This is what I do right when I wake up and by the time I am ready to head to work the burrito is nice and toasty warm for me!

Cheers to Jake and his breakfast burritos!

Hashbrown Avocado Toast

Categories Recipes1 Comment on Hashbrown Avocado Toast

We all remember when Avocado toast became all the craze a few years ago, and rightfully so. It’s the perfect breakfast, especially topped with a beautifully done egg. I found this recipe from @Kelseysfoodreviews on Tik Tok where she used a hashbrown as the toast. I saw some frozen hashbrown’s at ALDI the other day, and I had to make this. I had it for breakfast and OMG, it’s silky, it’s crispy and very satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 Frozen Hash Brown
  • 1/2 Avocado Mashed
  • 1 Egg
  • Crushed Red Pepper
  • Salt + Pepper
  • Lime Juice
  • Olive Oil

Let’s Get Cooking

Cook the hashbrown per package instructions, and make sure it is extra crispy.

While the hash brown is cooking, mash the avocado in the bowl with some red pepper flakes + lime juice + salt + pepper.

In a skillet, drizzle olive oil in a pan and heat on MED.

Crack the egg in the skillet and fry until the whites are fully cooked.

Once the hashbrown is done, top with the mashed avocado and fried egg.

ENJOY

Buttermilk Pancakes

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Buttermilk Pancakes

Weekends at my childhood home are my favorite, spending time lounging around with my pets, and cooking waffles and pancakes for breakfast. My mom had some extra buttermilk laying around and rather than letting it go to waste we decided to ditch the Bisquick and make the pancakes ourself. This recipe comes from Great Grub, Delicious Treats. This recipe ensures the you get the fluffiest pancakes you can get. Serve up with your fav syrup, or powdered sugar if you are like me.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 TBSP Sugar
  • 1 TSP baking Soda
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 1/2 TSP Baking Powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Cups Buttermilk
  • 1 TSP Vegetable Oil

Let’s Get Cooking

In a bowl, combine the flour + sugar + baking soda + salt + baking powder.

In a larger bowl, whisk eggs + buttermilk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir. The batter will be a little bit lumpy.

Add oil to your griddle if needed and heat. Flick the pan with some water, if the water sizzles then the pan is hot enough. Use a 1/4 cup to spoon in a few pancakes to the pan. Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, and then flip. Timing is all up to how hot the pan is.

Add in any additional ingredients you like, such as blueberries or my fav chocolate chips.

Serve warm.

Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Breakfast sandwich is a staple, especially when hungover. You can also make it however you want, bacon, sausage, eggs, cheese, hash browns, the options are endless. I use croissants that I made, but you can use store bought too, fresh or frozen, it doesn’t matter! As long as you make it with love, and some good ass bacon, you can never go wrong.

Ingredients

  • Croissants, fresh or frozen
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices of bacon or 1 sausage patty, I really like Applegate products
  • 1 Slice of Cheddar Cheese, if you like

Let’s Get Cooking

Grab two slices of bacon and cut in half, place in a hot pan and cook to your liking, I like mine a bit chewy but I know that is not for everyone.

If your croissant is frozen, be sure to thaw the night before. Or you can always cut it in half and throw it in the oven at 375F until warm.

Once the bacon is done, remove and place on a paper towel. Keep the heat on high, we are going to cook the egg FAST. Scramble one egg in a bowl and pour into the hot pan. Let the sides get a little cooked and move it around lightly with a wooden spatula until fully cooked. Place the eggs on a plate.

If you haven’t already, cut your croissant in half. Lower the heat and place the croissant cut sides down in the same pan you cooked the bacon and eggs in. This lets the croissant to soak up some of that yummy bacon fat. Keep in the pan until toasted.

To assemble: Place bottom croissant, bacon, egg, cheese, and top croissant.

Make before a trip and wrap in foil to throw in the oven morning of.

Muffin-Tin Quiches

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Muffin-Tin Quiches

Breakfast on the weekdays can be hard, but I do not need to tell you that. Sometimes meal preps for the morning can be gross too, all soggy, and sometimes they do not heat up right. These Muffin-Tin Quiches from Eating Well are the complete opposite. I was a little concerned with re-heating eggs, but they reheated so well without getting slimy and I was able to freeze them for 3 weeks. This recipe includes adding potatoes, spinach, and cheddar. You can also add any ingredients you like. I added smoked ham in some of mine and they were amazing. One important note is to use cupcake papers when making these, the tins get messy and extremely hard to clean.

Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups Finely Diced Red-Skinned Potatoes
  • 1 Cup Diced Red Onion
  • 1 1/2 Cups Chopped Fresh Spinach
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Shredded Smoked Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Low-Fat Milk
  • Salt + Pepper

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 325F and line a muffin tin with cupcake papers.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over MED heat. Add in the potatoes + onion + salt. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs + cheese + milk + pepper + salt. Stir in the spinach and cooked potato mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until firm on top.

Reserve a few to eat for the week, and freeze the rest! I would pull out a few from the freezer the night before, put in the fridge, and they would be ready to be reheated the next morning.

To reheat: wrap in paper towel and microwave for about a minute.

Croissants

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Croissants

So you want to make croissants, I understand the desire. Croissants are so perfectly buttery and flaky you can’t resist them. I decided to dedicate 3 days to make these croissants before a camping trip with friends. These croissants can be used for breakfast sandwiches, which is how I used them, or plain. I also have a chocolate croissant recipe that you can check out here!

But anyways, let’s get going on the croissants. I used The Weekend Bakery’s recipe, it is extremely detailed and helpful. I do recommend before you get started that you have 3 days set aside and a kitchen scale!

Ingredients

  • 500 g Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 140g Water
  • 140g Whole Milk
  • 55g Sugar
  • 40g Solt Unsalted Butter
  • 11g Instant Yeast
  • 12g Salt
  • 280g COLD Unsalted Butter for laminating
  • 1 egg + 1 tsp water [egg wash]

Let’s Get Laminating

Since you are laminating butter into dough you need to make sure that not only is the butter very cold but also the room you are working in. Your butter will quickly melt, ruining the croissants.

Day 1

Combine all the dough ingredients, 500g flour + 140 g water + milk + 55g sugar + 40g soft unsalted butter + 11g instant yeast + 12g salt.

If you have a mixer, mix together at low speed for about 3 minutes. If you’re like me and don’t have a mixer, mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together, then continue to knead lightly for 3 minutes. Shape the dough into a disc , place on a plate, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Day 2

Time to get to work: grab your cold butter and cut lengthwise into equally thick slabs. Place the butter on wax paper to form a square. Place another piece of wax paper overtop and pound down the butter with a rolling pin until the square is about 17cm x 17cm. Wrap up the butter and place back into the fridge.

Flour the surface and roll out the dough from the fridge. Try and roll the dough out into a square of even thickness. Grab the frozen butter slab and place onto the dough. Fold the dough over the butter so the butter is encased into the dough.

Roll the dough out now, starting from the center of the dough towards the edges. You want to lengthen the dough instead of making it wider. Once long enough, fold the dough letter style, one flap over the other, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Before rolling, turn the dough 90 degrees, making sure the open end of the dough is facing you. Repeat this step of rolling and folding 3 times, this gives your croissants the perfect layers. Once doing this 3 times, place back into the fridge overnight.

Day 3

Grab the dough and flour the surface you’ll be working on. Gently roll out the dough one more time. If the dough resists, take a break and put it back in the fridge.

Using a pizza wheel, mark the top of the dough at 12.5cm intervals and along the bottom mark 6.25cm. Make diagonal cuts along the top corner to the bottom. Once all the triangles are cut, gently roll out the triangle to elongate it slightly. To roll the croissant, start at the longer end, rolling tightly and then turning in the two ends.

To proof the dough: place on a baking sheet and provide the dough with a thin egg wash. Proof in a slightly warmer area of the house for about 2 hours. You will notice when they have proofed, with the croissants slightly wiggling.

Once proofed, add another coat of egg wash and preheat the oven to 385F. When the oven is heated, bake for about 7 minutes and then lower the temperature to 330F and bake for 9 minutes.

You’ll want to look for the croissants browning but not too quickly. Take out from the oven once done, let cool and enjoy! You can also freeze these croissants and reheat in the oven later!

Make sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; or just eat by themselves!

Toujours Affamé,

Kitchen Sink Frittata

Categories Recipes2 Comments on Kitchen Sink Frittata

I have never made a frittata before, but I took it as one of those recipes that you can add pretty much whatever you have in your fridge and it will work out. That’s exactly what I did! Some left over country ham that my friend’s mom made (OMG IT’S AMAZING), green onions, 5 eggs, and some spinach that as wilting. I followed two peas & their pod’s cooking guide and the end product turned out delicious. It’s a great meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Ingredients

  • 4 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 4 Small russet potatoes/ or 2 Large potatoes, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 Green Onions, chopped
  • Spinach
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 2 TBSP Milk
  • 1/3 Cup Chopped Ham/ or whatever meat you prefer
  • 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese + a handful for topping off
  • Salt + Pepper
  • Sour Cream to serve

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 400F

In a large skillet heat up the olive oil. Add in the diced potatoes + garlic + salt + pepper. Cook the potatoes until they are soft and the edges are brown. Add in 2 TBSP of the green onion and remove from heat into a separate bowl.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs + milk. Once combined add in the remaining green onion + chopped ham + potatoes + spinach + cheese + salt + pepper.

Pour the mixture into the same large skillet you cooked the potatoes in, nonstick pan works best. Cook the mixture over med-high heat until it is half set, do not touch it! It looks half set when the edges begin to come away from the pan.

Place the skillet into the oven for about 12 min. Remove and top with a little more cheese. Place back in the oven for the cheese to melt.

Cut & serve with sour cream and hot sauce!

Always Hungry,
