The Ultimate Breakfast Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil for 1 minute. Add the breakfast sausages to the pan and cook for 12 minutes, turning constantly, until crispy and browned all over.
• Drain the sausages on paper towels and let cool. Insert a small ice pop stick in each sausage. Set aside.
• Make the pancake batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Use your hands to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk, eggs, and melted butter into the well, then stir the center working your way out until the mixture is thick and well-combined. Fold in the bacon.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Pour the pancake batter into a tall glass, then dip a sausage stick into the mixture.
• Use tongs to gently place the battered sausage into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Season beaten eggs with pepper; pour into baking dish. In a large bowl, combine soup, sour cream, hash browns, ham, onion and cheese. Mix thoroughly and pour over eggs.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove and drizzle butter over top of casserole. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until golden.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in a small saucepan until tender.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan and fry the onions, mushrooms and bacon until onions are clear and bacon is cooked.
• Drain potatoes and put into frying pan, cooking for another 2 minutes.
• Make sure ingredients are spread evenly over the pan and then pour eggs evenly over the base.
• Season with herbs, salt and pepper, to taste.
• Let cook for 2 minutes or until eggs start to set.
• Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake under a grill until eggs are cooked and cheese is bubbling and brown (3-5 minutes).
• Serve with a tall glass of orange juice and some toast.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
• In second bowl, stir together oats, pecans, dried fruit, and toffee or chocolate chips.
• In standing mixer (with flat beater) beat butter, peanut butter and sugar at medium speed until no sugar lumps remain, about 1 minute.
• Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula; add egg, molasses and vanilla and beat on medium-low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Scrape down bowl; with mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• With mixer still running on low, gradually add oat/nut mixture; mix until just incorporated.
• Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
• The dough will seem dry, but resist the urge to add more liquid.
• Divide dough evenly into 16 portions, each about 1/4 cup, then roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Using hands, gently press each dough ball to 1 inch thickness.
• Bake both baking sheets 12 minutes, rotate them front to back and top to bottom, then continue to bake until cookies are medium brown and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (IMPORTANT -- cookies will seem underdone and will appear raw, wet, and shiny in cracks), about 7 minutes longer.
• DO NOT OVERBAKE!
• Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 3 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature.
