Baked Egg Boats

What a way to start the morning! Fresh fluffy eggs baked right into your own personal cheesy, meaty (veggie meat, of course!) bread bowl. Beware, this is more food than you would think...the boyfriend and I definitely ate til we couldn't anymore and still had about a third left of each of ours to snack on with lunch. This recipe is adapted from the blog spoonforkbacon.com, which I ironically have found several awesome recipes on, despite the fact that I haven't eat bacon in over 10 years! 

Making these hearty breakfasts is surprisingly quick and takes barely any skill to throw together...so if you're only half awake when you make them, all you should really worry about is not forgetting the oven mitts when you take them out!

Start by cutting a hole in your bread and scraping out the insides. As you can see I worked really hard to make pretty cuts on top...Not. I actually was so careless that I accidentally cracked the bottom on one of them, hence then cheese slices I placed on the bottom of each boat. Luckily that attempt at sealing the crack worked like a charm :) 

Beat together your eggs and toppings. (I used some veggie sausage, spinach, and grated sharp cheddar cheese!)

Next just sprinkle some more grated cheese on top and stick them in the oven!

 Then, after about 20 minutes, take them out and let your mouth water for 5 minutes before they're cool enough to cut into slices. Serve with a glass of oj and eat up!


Serves 2-3
Ingredients 

3 eggs 

handful of spinach

about 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 tbsp milk

2 veggie sausage links, cooked according to intructions (I use Morningstar brand)

2 rolls (I used Safeway's Jalapeno Cheese Rolls, which were aaaaaamazing) 

Procedure

1. Slice through the top crusty layer of your rolls in a triangle or square shape. Tear the top bit of crust off, then scoop out the insides of the bread. Be sure to scoop around the edges of the roll too, and stop scooping about 1/2 an inch from the bottom crust. 

2. Beat together your eggs, spinach, cheese, milk, and sausage. 

3. Pour about half the mixture into each of the bread bowls. Sprinkle some more grated cheese onto the egg mixture. 

4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until set. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into strips and serve. 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch (Rice Krispie) Treats

Although not an entirely original idea, these babies went fast in my house. So fast that I only got one crummy picture of the delicious, gooey treats. But thats ok. If you use your imagination, you can easily have some idea of how kick-ass these marshmallow squares are. I mean, what's honestly better than Cinnamon Toast Crunch? The list is short, in my opinion. Plus they're so so easy if you use the right utensils! 

Makes about 2 dozen

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

4 cups marshmallows

5 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal

Procedure

1. Slowly melt butter in a sauce pan. Mix in marshmallows over medium-low heat until completely melted. Be careful to keep stirring the whole time!

2. Take off heat and gently mix in cereal. Using a buttered spatula, quickly press the mixture into a parchment paper lined 9x13 baking dish. Make sure to be quick or else the mixture will harden up and become solid as a rock!

3. Stick in the fridge/freezer for a few minutes until completely cooled. Pull the treats out of the baking dish by picking up the parchment paper. Cut into squares and devour.
