Breakfast Pizza for all!

I'm a big breakfast eater & I'm in LOVE with breakfast pizza, but it seems the only place to find it is shining with grease at a local gas station for $3 a slice.  I don't know about you, but I needed another way.!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Clean-up: Moderate

Turkey Bacon Breakfast Pizza
(you can use regular bacon too, but turkey bacon tastes about the same and has 50% less fat & eliminates a couple steps.)


Ingredients
1 roll of Pillsbury flaky biscuits
8 Eggs
1/4 cup milk
8-10 pieces of turkey bacon
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt
Flour
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1 pie pan (glass or metal)
Cutting board
Frying pan

Preheat oven to 350F


Lightly sprinkle bottom of pie pan with flour.


Knead biscuit dough into a ball & press into the bottom of pie pan.  Spread dough until it evenly covers the bottom and sides of the pan. Lighly sprinkle with shredded chedder.  Set aside.




Wisp eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together. Set aside.

Chop turkey bacon into small pieces & fry over medium heat until cooked.  About 5 minutes.
If you've never used Turkey Bacon before, it is done when it is a deep reddish tint and begins to brown.
*If you are using regular bacon, you'll want to drain excess fat and return meat to pan.



Add egg mixture to pan with turkey bacon.  You want to cook the eggs only until they are moist and fluffy.
You don't want to completely cook off the moisture...



Remove from heat and stir in a handful of shredded cheddar.

Spread bacon/egg mixture evenly over dough.  Press to fit if needed.

Top with remaining cheese.

Bake on center rack until crust and cheese is golden brown.  (Approximately 8-14 minutes.)


Cool & Enjoy!





Recipe change-ups I've tried:
Substitute half of bacon for breakfast sausage. (ground sausage works best IMO)
Use four cheese blend instead of cheddar or top with sliced American cheese for a distinct flavor.


Never hesitate to ask questions, share your own recipes/variations, or comment on how yours turned out!

First Recipe share & Info.

Hello!

I am very excited to be here to post, share, invent & exchange recipes with you!  This is my first time figuring out the language of writing a recipe down for others, so helpful feedback is awesome!
My goal is to get enough people actively participating that I can come here for new food ideas instead of searching online.  I know it will take some time, so let's get started!!!

I'd love to see posts of your own versions of recipes or recommend a change-up to the originals. I'll try to answer any questions if I can!


When I'm deciding what to cook I'm looking at a few things.
1. How long is this gonna take vs how hungry am I right the heck now!
2. Ingredients I already have available, because I know I'm not going on a trip for one measly thing.
3. Clean-up.  How much scrubbing and soaking is this going to take!?

My first recipe takes about 45 minutes total.  That's prep, cook & clean.
Most of the ingredients you already have, and if you don't--there is plenty of room to improvise.
Clean-up is pretty easy, thanks to Aluminum Foil!

Steak & Shrimp Soft Taco

They are simple & delicious so I make them for lunch.

What you'll need is:

6 Medium Flour Tortillas

1 Steak of your choice (doesn't need to be fancy!)

2 cups Small Shrimp (can buy frozen & prepped to eat)

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Lemon Juice

Taco Seasoning packet of choice

3 Garlic cloves (finely chopped)

1/4 cup Onion (finely chopped) or Onion Powder

2 cups Shredded Cheese of choice

1/4 cup Red & Green Pepper (chopped)

Hot Sauce (if spicy)

Sour Cream

1 can Refried Beans   

Frying Pan (x2)

baking sheet or cake pan

Aluminum Foil

Cut steak into squares or strips.  I cut mine into squares.

Place cut steak into a frying pan and add 2 tbs Taco Seasoning, 1 1/2 garlic cloves, half of chopped onion (1/8 cup) or a tablespoon of onion powder, half of chopped peppers (1/8 cup) salt & pepper to taste & tsp of hot sauce (optional)

Cook over medium heat until steak is cooked.  (Approximately 6-8 minutes)

Place boiled shrimp into a frying pan and add 2 tbsp olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tbs of pepper, remaining garlic, onion, & peppers and tsp of hot sauce (optional)  

For extra flavor you can boil or marinade your shrimp.

To Marinade:  add 2 tbsp olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tbs of pepper, remaining garlic, onion, & peppers and tsp of hot sauce (optional) in plastic bag, shake and allow to sit overnight in fridge.

To Boil: Add shrimp & 2 cups water to sauce pan over medium heat.  

As soon as the water begins to boil, pull from heat and drain.

Cook over medium heat(Approx. 6 minutes)--I know it's done when most of the liquid is absorbed.

There is a lot of maneuver room with seasoning the meat so get down with your inner chef & add whatever else you know you like.  Just be careful not to over-do it!  

Preheat oven to 325F.

Place Aluminum Foil on the inside of pan.  (This helps with clean-up!)

Heat your Refried Beans.  (stove or microwave--totally up to you!)

Mix in 1/4 cup Sour Cream with Refried Beans.

Butter Tortillas with Refried Beans & sprinkle with cheese.  I really lay it on thick.

Now it's time to add the meat.  Fill the middle of your tortilla with steak & top with shrimp.

To finish: More cheese on top of meat.

Fold tortilla to enclose meat like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGjJSFysbis

Place in pan and bake in oven for 10ish minutes until tortilla starts to go golden.

Let cool (if you have self-control and value your taste buds)...& enjoy!

There are tons of variations of this so I'd love to hear yours!  

Also please comment any ideas for next time!!!
