Breakfast

By Lesliestern_

I found my new favorite kitchen tool! It makes prepping veggies so fast and is my secret for a restaurant skillet at home.

Here's what you'll need:
Mueller Multi Chopper/Slicer
2 russet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1 inch rounds
1 large green pepper, washed and cut off the stem
1 medium onion, peeled, sliced into 1 inch slices
1 package of breakfast sausage, crumbled, cooked and set aside
1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
Avocado oil
Seasoning salt
Pepper

Here's how you make it:
1. Prepare all the veggies, using a Mueller Multi Chopper/Slicer, use the Large Dicer Blade and begin chopping each veggie. Add to an individual bowl, repeat until everything is chopped.
2. To a small skillet, add the sausage and begin cooking until no longer pink.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet with some avocado oil. Add the potatoes, season well with seasoning salt. Mix and let cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed.
4. Flip potatoes occasionally until just starting to brown (about 10 minutes).
5. Add in the green peppers and onions. Season with pepper. Mix well, cover and continue to cook until golden brown (about 10 minutes).
6. Once potatoes have turned golden brown, add in the cooked sausage, press down to help develop a crust. Let cook for 3 minutes, then flip and repeat until desired doneness. Top with cheese, cover until melted. Serve warm.

Add in or swap out for any of your favorite vegetables, meat or cheese. This is a great way to use what you have on hand and to get in as many veggies you can!

Bacon Swizzle Stick
1 lb of bacon
1 cup dark brown sugar
Freshly cracked pepper

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Baking rack

Add the bacon to a large bowl and separate.
Add the brown sugar, freshly cracked pepper and mix well ensuring to coat every side and piece of bacon.

Preheat the oven to 350°.
To a lined baking sheet, add a baking rack on top of the parchment paper. (Very important step for clean up).
Twirl one end of the bacon until the entire piece is twirled.
Lay across the sheet pan length wise. Repeat until entire package is on pan. They can be nested closely together, as they will shrink.
Add to preheated, middle rack in the oven and check every 10 minutes, until about the 25-30 mark.

The melted sugar may smoke, keep a window open, if possible, or halfway through change out parchment paper to avoid brining the fallen sugar.

Let fully cool to set, about 15 minutes.
Eat as is or add to a Bloody Mary as a delicious garnish!
Store in the fridge.

Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

2 cups flour, plus 1 tbs for dusting blueberries with
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 stick of butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
1/3 cup half and half
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Blueberry drizzle
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice

Add everything to a saucepan, and bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer and break apart berries with a spoon until all berries have burst about 8 minutes. Let cool.

Crumble topping
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
Zest of 1/2 lemon
3 tbs melted butter

Combine the dry ingredients, and mix well. Pour in melted butter and mix until it looks like small peas. Set aside.

Muffins
Make blueberry drizzle and crumble topping first, and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425. Add parchment muffin liners to a muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another mixing bowl combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, half and half, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and sugar is dissolved.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Sprinkle washed and dried blueberries with 1 tbs flour, to coat each one. This will help them distribute evenly in the muffins and not sink to the bottom.
Fold in until just combined.
Use a cookie scooper to fill the ungreased muffin cups, filling them until it hits the brim of the liner.
Drizzle a small amount of the syrup onto each muffin, then top with the crumble mix onto each one.

Bake a 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake for about 5 more minutes until done, and the topping is just turning golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, it will burn easily.
Let cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
Makes 12 muffins

Rolls:
Sprinkle the cutting board or counter with flour. Take half of the dough and roll out into a rectangle about 10x14, or until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread half of filling over the entire dough area.
Roll the dough up tightly, starting on the long end.
Cut roll into 6 even slices.
Repeat with other dough/filling.
Place rolls into a greased baking dish, with room around each roll.
Cover pan, if baking now, or cover and place in fridge if baking later. If baking later, take out of fridge 30 mins prior to baking, to let rise.
Let rolls rise for 30 minutes, pour heavy cream over each roll then bake in the center of the oven at 375 for 20-22 minutes, until lightly golden brown. If rolls are browning too fast, place foil on top while they're baking.
Once done, spread frosting over each roll and serve!

Banana Bread Muffins

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
4 bananas (ripe or overripe, frozen, then defrosted) - they will be brown and gooey, but trust me!
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
3 tbsp honey, give or take!
1/3 cup golden raisins
12 parchment paper liners

1. Defrost bananas in a bowl for 1-2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 400° and line a muffin tin with liners.
3. Remove bananas from the skin, and add to a bowl with lemon juice.
4. In a stand mixer or a bowl; cream butter and sugar. Once combined, add the egg, and mix well.
5. Add in raisins, 1 tablespoon of honey, and bananas. Mix until combined or until there are no large pieces of banana. Let sit for 5 minutes so raisins can absorb the liquid.
6. To a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well then slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until fully combined.
7. Add in walnuts. Scoop batter into muffin cups until just over 3/4 full. Drizzle a little honey on top. Makes about 11 muffins.
8. Bake in the center of the oven for 5 minutes, then turn down to 350° and bake for another 10-15 minutes. 18 minutes is my oven’s sweet spot. Checking and rotating halfway through, to ensure an even bake. Bake until just golden brown, and the center comes out clean if you insert a toothpick. The top of the muffin will look glossy even when it's done.
9. Let cool, then remove from pan. Serve warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
