Ham & Cheese Omelette

December 26, 2021 Amanda Plott

I don’t know about you, but we had ham as part of our Christmas dinner and I managed to keep some on reserve for leftover breakfast this morning. This Ham & Cheese Omelette is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham. I based this omelette off of a few others that I’ve made in the past that packs an omelette up with as much protein as possible.

I like to sub in egg whites for part of the egg in any omelette. But, I try to keep at least one yolk in there for some color and flavor. Other than that, I love to put cottage cheese in my omelettes because it gives a bit of a boost to the protein and also bonus melty cheese goodness…

Breakfast Twice Baked Potato

December 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Who says you can’t have a baked potato for breakfast? This potato is baked twice over and loaded with the breakfast favorites of bacon, egg, and cheese! They’re great for mornings when you want a nice hearty and filling breakfast, but don’t have a lot of time on your hands since these can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready for the second and final bake.

It’s super easy to double up the recipe to have enough to feed a crowd with minimal effort or hands on time when it comes to cooking…

Jalapeno Popper Egg Bites (Instant Pot)

November 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while since I made some faux sous vide egg bites in the pressure cooker, so I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to make some! Being as I have made so many different kinds before, I thought I’d really step outside the box to make some spicy jalapeño popper egg bites this time instead. After all, there’s nothing like a little spice to kick off your day.

These egg bites aren’t your petite little dainty ones like you buy at that popular coffee chain either. No, no. These are bigger and better. One of them is about the size of two of the ones you can buy. So one batch will be enough for breakfast all week…

Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin

November 7, 2021 Amanda Plott

Even though Halloween is over, pumpkin season is still upon us. And I love to find creative and fun uses for pumpkins in the kitchen all the way through Thanksgiving. This Breakfast Stuffed Pumpkin would be a super fun and easy way to feed the family around the Holidays, or even as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning!

My local grocery place had pumpkins on sale for just one dollar and fifty cents, so I grabbed up one of the smaller pie pumpkins. They’re small, sweet, and meant to be used for cooking and eating unlike some of their larger cousins…

Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos

September 15, 2021 Amanda Plott

My week is a little chaotic. Okay, more than a little. But that doesn’t mean that I’m skipping out on breakfast. After waking up at 5 AM, taking my little to cheer practice, walking for an hour, then feeding 30+ cheerleaders their breakfast, that’s when it’s time for my breakfast. And since I’ve been in a savory breakfast kind of mood, I thought some breakfast tacos sounded perfect.

These Mini Air-Fryer Breakfast Tacos are where it’s at. They’re crispy, and cheesy, and delicious. Of course I’m always looking for an excuse to use these mini street taco tortillas too. I left these tacos about as simple as they could be with all the fan favorites of bacon, egg, cheese, and some pico…

Instant Pot Poached Eggs

July 23, 2021 Amanda Plott

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!

Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.

These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…
