Breakfast Burritos

Materials List:

Hash Browns (cubes, not patties)

4 Eggs

1/2 cup of Milk

Black Pepper

"Extras"

Preparation:

Start browning the hash browns as directed.

In a small mixing dish, crack the eggs and scramble them with a fork.

Add the milk and some pepper to the eggs.

As the hash browns take on color, turn down the heat to "low"

Mix in the eggs with the hash browns.

Let the eggs cook, but stir the eggs and the hash browns.

Add in the "extras" when appropriate.

Extras:

Meats: We like ham cubes, but have also used sausage links and BACON!

Veggies: If you are in to that sort of thing, you could throw in some peppers or mushrooms.

Cheese: We like a mild cheddar, but really just about any cheese will do.

Serving:

Lay out a flour tortilla shell

Spread out some sauce. Mayo works, but you can use Miracle Whip, or Ranch, or Bleu Cheese dressing. Or whatever flavoring you want that compliments the ingrediants you have selected. Heck, Salsa might even be the right flavor!

Heap on some hash brown and eggs.

Throw on some cheese!

Wrap the burrito.

ENJOY!

Breakfast Pizza

• Choice of meat(s)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup of Milk
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Italian-blend cheese

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. For crust, unroll pizza dough; pat onto bottom and up side of greased 12-inch pizza pan. Bake 5 minutes or until set, but not browned.

2. While crust is baking, cut meat(s) into 1/2-inch pieces. Whisk together eggs, milk and Italian seasoning in medium bowl until well blended. Throw in whatever additional seasonings you may wish to add as well.

3. Spoon the meat(s) over crust; sprinkle with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture over sausage and cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until eggs are set and crust is golden.

Scrambled Eggs

When it comes to breakfast, there really is nothing better than Scrambled Eggs. Here is the recipe we use in the O'Hurley's kitchen.

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons of milk
• 2 teaspoons of butter
• Salt, pepper, and spice to your taste
• CHEESE

Preparation:

Melt the butter on low-medium heat in a sauce pan or small pot.

Whisk the eggs, milk, and spices (incl. the salt and pepper) until you get a nice bright yellow mixture that is smooth. A note on spices: I have an Italian blend of spices that I like to add with a dash of oregano and garlic powder.

When the butter has melted, add the egg mixture to the butter. With a wooden spoon or spatula, move the egg mixture around as it hardens so that it cooks evenly.
Add the cheese.

There is a huge debate over when the scrambled eggs are done. Some people like soft scrambled eggs; others like them very dry. Use your judgment on when you think the right consistency has been achieved.
