Baked Egg Puffs

Note: This is less of a recipe and more like instructions!  They are simple to put together and I had dinner on the table after about 5 minutes of prep work and 15 minutes in the oven.  Serve with normal breakfast fare.

Ingredients
1 egg per egg puff
1 slice of ham or other deli meat per egg puff, thinly sliced
1 handful of shredded cheese (cheddar is my favorite, but any kind will work!)
Optional - your favorite omelet fillings

Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 375.  It will probably take longer for the oven to heat than for you to put these together!
2) Take out your muffin tin and line one cup with ham per egg puff you are making.  Spread them out if you are not using the whole pan.

3) Crack an egg into each lined cup.  If you prefer scrambled, scramble up the egg before you pour it in.
*Optional Step* Put a few pieces of omelet fillings in each cup - a few pieces of pepper, mushroom or even more ham!
4) Top each cup with a handful of shredded cheese.
5) Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
6) Let them cool for a little bit before taking them out of the tins.  The fat in the ham should keep them from sticking, but you may need to run a butter knife around the edge of each puff.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Pumpkin Muffins

Image
Note: I used walnuts, but I didn't have a full 3/4 cup, probably only about 1/2 a cup. This would be awesome with chocolate chips, too. Of course, what isn't better with chocolate chips?? These are amazingly light and fluffy. Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup water 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup chopped cashews or walnuts (optional? I think not) Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients - eggs, oil, water, pumpkin In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and incorporate. Add nuts (and chocolate chips?), stir. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Do not overbake. Cool on wire rack. source: http://allrec
