Bfast Pizza with Everything Bagel Crust

Breakfast in any form is the best. We love bacon on pizza so I leaned into the pizza vibe finishing it with hard boiled egg. The crust got brushed with butter and everything bagel seasoning.

Cook through until crust crisps and cheese melts.
While the pizza cooks, melt the butter and then peal and chop the eggs.
Out of the oven, immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle on the everything bagel seasoning.
Sprinkle on the egg and some salt & pepper.

This was a fun pizza. The eggs aren’t all that attached but I wanted to give them a go. All the flavors are there. A personal pizza with a runny yolk would be good too – we just always have hardboiled eggs around.

Chorizo Eggs Benedict

I’m using the “benedict” term loosely – queso is in place of a hollandaise but these still have English muffins + meat + egg + sauce so they are very much like a benedict.

These make a great dinner in case you aren’t having leisurely brunch. Me! I’m not having lots of slow morning meals! This was lunch and I’m sure I’ll make again as dinner!

Chorizo Eggs Benedict
Ingredients: (for 2 servings)

1/2 pound chorizo without casing
2 English muffins
4 eggs
1/3 cup queso sauce

Directions:
Pan fry the chorizo until cooked through, then drain.
Toast the English muffins.
Warm the queso.
Warm a pan to medium heat for the eggs. Cook sunny-side up, or over easy, or poach them, as you like.
Spread a teaspoon of queso to each English muffin, then top with chorizo and eggs as soon as the eggs are cooked. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Spoon on the remaining warmed queso to the very top.
Enjoy!

We are mild-medium spice people at our house so these were fun and not too spicy for us. Make your own chorizo to really control the spice level – season ground pork with paprika, chili, garlic, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon as you like.

I’d definitely have these again as this was the easy way to do so. Another way to level- up would be to melt some pepper jack cheese and actually make hollandaise.

Breakfast Crunchwrap

This is such a fun breakfast and the format is the nudge to Taco Bell’s version. The filling is bacon, eggs, cheese, and nacho chips!

Fill with beans, or sausage, or avocado, or whatever fillings you like!

Breakfast Crunchwrap
Ingredients: (for 2)

2 burrito sized flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (white cheddar and mild cheddar)
2 eggs (scrambled eggs & everything bagel seasoning)
2 tablespoons salsa
4 strips of bacon crumbled
~8 nacho flavored chips

Directions:
Scramble the eggs until cooked through, but not dried out. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.

Assemble the crunchwrap with the tortilla, cheese, eggs, bacon, a spoonful of salsa & hot sauce, chips, and extra cheese. Leave plenty of space around the outside.

Warm a pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Carefully fold the outside edges inward, working your folds around hanging onto the beginning. Gently put the crunchwrap face down and let crisp for ~2-3 minutes. Then flip to cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy! Serve with extra salsa on the side.

I loved this! The chips in this are such a pop of flavor and great texture.

If the folding around feels daunting, these could definitely be formed like a burrito. They won’t freeze well with the chips, but I’ll make them again.

Peach Pecan Waffles

These waffles were breakfast-for-dinner after some busy weekends where these didn’t make the timing. I love the peaches and pecan flavor in and on the waffles. Waffles are also ideal to make ahead and toast/bake when serving!

Peach Pecan Waffles 
Ingredients: (serves ~4)

waffle mix & required ingredients (for 3-4 waffles)
1 can/jar cling peaches (chopped and juice reserved)
1/3 cup pecans
whipped cream

The Three Bite Rule - Peach Pecan Waffles

Directions: 
Preheat the waffle iron.
Then, mix the waffle batter substituting half the water needed for the juice from the peaches. Cook the waffles according to your iron’s instructions – mine instructs to fill, flip, and cook for 4 minutes. Before closing the waffle iron, sprinkle in about 1 tablespoon of pecans per waffle and save some of the pecans for topping.

When the waffles are cooked, top with peaches, pecans, whipped cream, or as you like them. 
Enjoy!

For dinner, we ended up with adults having 3/4 of a whole waffle and kids having 1/2 a waffle. In the morning we always seem to want less. We had bacon and the kids went for all the toppings on the side. I make these savory waffles all the time and freeze them for on-the-go breakfast options since they don’t need syrup/dip/sauce.

Creamsicle Smoothie

{originally published in 2013 and updated in 2023}

This smoothie came about as an alternative use for a bag of mandarin oranges I’ve been eating forever. 2 of the 4 of us eat them so they can seem never ending. I figured they’d be a good smoothie addition!

I loved the really orange AND cream flavors. I think frozen mango or frozen peaches add frostiness since the oranges weren’t frozen and tone down the acidity.

I hate peeling oranges so this was perfect! It makes me want to get my hands on some blood oranges! Maybe they’ll be next!
