I was cooking dinner for myself the other night and couldn't think of anything of anything to eat except breakfast food. I didn't want boring ole' eggs and bacon, so I started of thinking of ways to mix it up. This month's Food Network Magazine has 50 pizza recipes and one of them just so happens to be Bacon & Egg Pizza! I was taken aback just a little, but was willing to try it. I started by making my dough and letting it rise. Once done, I tore off a small ball of dough, just enough for an individual pizza. I then rolled it out and topped with diced uncooked bacon. I put it on my pizza stone and cooked until bacon was done. Then, I cracked an egg right on top and stuck in the oven until set and topped with cheese. Once cheese melted, I seasoned with pepper and voila! Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Pizza! It was quite delicious! The crust was extra crispy, as well as the bacon, and the egg was still a smidge liquidly in the yolk- which was perfect! It is all the best parts of breakfast on one pizza! You so need to try this for your next "brinner" night!
Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Pizza - Yum!
A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing through World Market, when I came across Panko breadcrumbs. What are Panko breadcrumbs? Ever eaten an crispy breaded asian dish and wondered how it got it's crunch? Panko breadcrumbs! They are super crispy and stay that way the whole time it cooks. a lot better than just flour! I have been looking for a reason to use them, and finally found it! I was cooking dinner for Rachael and I and she wanted a hamburger. We had chicken to use up, so I suggested a crispy chicken sandwich instead because we didn;t have hamburger buns! I took the chicken breast, dipped in an egg mixture, dredged in flour, dipped in egg mixture, and then rolled in Panko breadcrumbs. The two coatings makes sure the chicken is well-coated and crispy! There was seasoning in my flour, also. I then grilled in my skillet for a few minutes and topped with Meunster cheese.
Mmmm!
We then topped with spinach, mustard, and toasted sourdough. 'Twas amazing!
This was also my one day of the month I ate potatoes! I <3 seasoned fries, as well as my chicken sandwich!
Now, for dessert... My mother has placed her order for her birthday cake already. She wants a Tiffany & Co. box shaped cake with coconut inside. I have never cooked with coconut and have had a bag in my cupboard for about 3 weeks. Today, I decided to use some. I started looking through recipes and found a great one for Chewy Coconut Cookies. You cream your butter(I use low-fat margarine), white sugar, and brown sugar. Then, you add an egg and vanilla. Once fluffy, add flour, baking soda, and salt. And the last ingredient is of course coconut. You mix it in, then drop on cookie sheets and bake! That is it.
One of the easiest recipes I have ever used!
Here is the final product:
I hated coconut before trying this cookie. It has now changed my mind completely!
Those cookies were delicious and low-fat, too! The recipe is definitely a keeper! I am taking the extra cookies to my co-workers/classmates tomorrow. :D
