English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

Ingredients:
4 eggs

1/4 cup milk

Dash of salt

Dash of pepper

2 tsp canola oil

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

2-4 slices deli ham, chopped

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 

2 whole wheat English muffins, split, toasted

In small bowl, beat egg product, milk, salt and pepper with wire whisk or fork until well blended.

In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper and ham in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. 

Pour egg mixture into skillet. As eggs begin to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that uncooked egg can flow to bottom. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist; stir cheese into eggs.

Spoon egg mixture evenly over muffin halves.

Stuffed Pizza Bites

Ingredients
1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
2 Tbl. grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbl. olive oil or melted butter for brushing tops
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
Mozzarella cheese, diced or grated
Pizza toppings of your choice: ie, ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.

Marinara/pizza sauce for dipping

Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package (usually it's 400 degrees).

In a bowl, mix together garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesean cheese. Set aside for later.

Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12" by 8". You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares.

Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. Remember that you want to be able to close up the squares, so don't overstuff them.

When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish).

Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil or melted butter and then sprinkle with the garlic, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese mixture.

Cook them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them! Doughs vary, so I'd check them after even 10 minutes.

Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
