Breakfast Pizza

There is something about bacon, eggs and a hot cup of coffee that screams weekend living! Our family loves breakfast for dinner, but if I could wake up to this delicious concoction on a Saturday or Sunday morning, I would be very happy!

 

Breakfast Pizza

1 bag Wildtree So Quick & Easy Pizza Dough Mix, dough prepared up to resting point

1 russet potato, cut into ¼ inch thick sliced and cooked in boiling water for 5 minutes

1 tablespoon Wildtree Garlic Galore Seasoning Blend 

1 cup shredded cheddar (or any cheese you’d prefer)

6 slices bacon, cooked
4 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

 

Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll dough out to desired shape. Lay the boiled potato slices in a single layer over the dough. Season with the Garlic Galore and top with cheddar cheese. Break the bacon slices in half and lay on top of the cheese. Crack each egg onto the top of the pizza (try to find a little nook in between the potatoes or bacon so the egg can sit in). Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the whites of the eggs are cooked, yolks will be runny. Cook longer for more cooked eggs. Remove from oven, garnish with chives. Slice and serve with a cup of coffee and enjoy your weekend!

Cordon Bleu Mummy

The perfect Halloween dish that makes you howl for more!

This is a fun meal to prepare for Halloween night!

And don't miss this post about 'What to do with all that Halloween candy?'

 Cordon Bleu Mummy

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 bag Wildtree Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, prepared and rested

2 tablespoons Wildtree Absolutely Onion Seasoning Blend, prepared

4 ounces cooked deli ham

1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red pepper, drained and dried

6 ounces cooked deli chicken

4 tablespoons reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 egg

1 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese

1 ripe black olive, sliced in half

Method of Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 9x13 inch cookie sheet or line with parchment paper or use your Pampered Chef Large Bar Pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a 1/8 inch thick rectangle. Transfer to cookie sheet. Spread Absolutely Onion Blend in 3-inch-wide strip lengthwise down center of triangle to within 1/2 inch of each end. From the wide end, mark dough 3 inches down from center on both sides of cheese strip. 

At that point, layer 2/3 of each ham, peppers, chicken and cheese on Absolutely Onion blend to 6-inch end. Starting at corners of wide end, using scissors or sharp knife, make cuts at an angle 1 inch apart down long sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling. To form head at wide end, place remaining 1/3 of filling ingredients, ending with bell pepper, in circular pile over cheese spread, leaving 1/2 inch space from body filling. 

Fold and shape 3-inch section of dough over filling to make rounded head, leaving opening for eyes, exposing bell pepper. Starting at mummy’s neck, alternately cross remaining strips over filling; folding bottom 1/2 inch up before crossing last 2 strips. In small bowl, beat egg. Brush over dough. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Place olives between "bandages" for mummy's eye. Cut into slices.

 Happy Halloween!

I Smell Garlic!

Do you like butter (non-dairy in Wildtree's case), garlic, wine, salt and parsley?
Are you allergic to seafood or dislike shrimp?
Then you are going to LOVE Wildtree's Scampi Blend!

Can you toss it with shrimp & pasta to make an easy & delicious dinner? Yes!

But did you know how many other ways you can prepare it?
Chicken Scampi
Veal Scampi
Scallop Scampi
Stuffed Mushrooms
Garlic Bread
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
White Pizza Chip or Veggie Dip (mixed with sour cream, or sour cream & mayo)
Stuffing for baked stuffed fish
Scampi cream cheese for an easy bagel spread

Here are a few other of my favorite recipes using our Scampi Blend:

~ Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin ~
 3 pieces of sourdough bread (our beer bread works great too!)
 2 TBSP of Wildtree Scampi Blend
2 TBSP of Wildtree Roasted Garlic GSO

Make crumbs in your food processor. Mix in the Scampi Blend and the GSO until you have moist (stuffing texture) crumbs. Add a little more oil if you need to. Pat the mixture around your beef or pork tenderloin (all sides) and bake. Each slice will contain a flavorful herb crust! Easy and delicious!

~ Scampi White Pizza ~
Wildtree's Quick and Easy pizza dough (unbleached wheat flour, and SO good!)

2 teaspoons Scampi Blend

Grapeseed Oil (I used the Basil Pesto in the dough mix, and brushed Roasted Garlic on the top)

Wildtree's California Garlic Pepper Blend

Shredded Parmesan and Cheddar Cheeses

Make the pizza dough (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook and it takes just minutes!). Roll out onto lightly oiled cookie sheet dusted with cornstarch (to prevent sticking). Brush oil onto top of crust. Sprinkle with Scampi Blend and also California Garlic Pepper. Top with 1/4 Cup shredded parm and 1 cup shredded cheddar, (more if desired) and bake at 375 for about 15 minutes (more or less depending on your oven). You can also use this as an appetizer for a party and cut it into small squares like a really gooey garlic bread...yum!

~ Scampi Au Gratin Potatoes ~

Serve with a baked ham!

5 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1" cubes (or use frozen Home Fries/Hash Browns)

3 TBSP unsalted butter

3 TBSP flour

4 cups low fat milk

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)

2 TBSP Scampi Blend

Bread Crumbs (optional)

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly about 2 minutes until it becomes a paste, slightly bubbling. Don't let it brown. Add milk, and stir until sauce thickens. Bring to a boil. Add scampi blend and potatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the cheese and add salt/pepper to taste. Pour into greased casserole dish. Top with bread crumbs if you wish. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let it stand for a few minutes before serving.

~ Stuffed Mushrooms ~

Great appetizer!
(Or leave out the mushrooms to make stuffing for a Baked Stuffed Shrimp Casserole)

1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed. Add 1-1/4 sticks of melted butter. Mix in 2 TBSP of Scampi Blend and 1/4 tsp of lemon juice. Optional - Mix in 4 ounces of any seafood (crabmeat, lagostinos, etc). Arrange 1/4 pound of mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture into the caps. Bake 7-10 minutes or until heated through and light brown on top.
