It's Breakfast Time!

Yum! Breakfast foods are so comforting and nutritious that they can be consumed morning or evening! These are some favorite breakfast foods:

Breakfast Burritos - S

1 pound sausage

1/2 small onion, chopped

2 t butter

12 eggs, beaten

1 (4 oz) can diced mild green chilies, drained

3/4 C grated cheddar

3/4 C salsa

1 (10 oz) pkg burrito-sized low-carb tortillas

***

Fry sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the excess grease. In another skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until the foam subsides and cook and stir the beaten eggs with the chilies until softly scrambled but not wet, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scrambled eggs into a large bowl, and stir in the cooked sausage mixture. Place a tortilla onto a microwave-safe plate and cook in the microwave on high for 10-20 seconds. The tortilla should be warm and pliable. Spoon about 1/2 C of the sausage/egg mixture in a line down the tortilla, slightly off center. Top with about 1 T shredded cheese and 1 T salsa. Fold 2 opposite ends of the tortilla over the filling. Press the 2 ends down so they stay folded. Carefully roll the shorter, unfolded edge over the burrito, pushing the filling to the back of the roll as you go, to snugly enclose the filling. Keep the 2 ends folded as you roll. Wrap in foil. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Freeze any unused burritos for a quick, grab-as-you-go meal another day. 

California Omelet - S

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Roma tomato

Avocado slices

Green onion, chopped

Shredded cheddar

Salt & pepper

Coconut oil spray

Salsa

***

Spray an 8" skillet with coconut oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and allow to set for about 30 seconds. Add a sprinkling of shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Allow the eggs to set for at least a minute. Carefully using a spatula, loosen the sides of the omelet, continue to cook until eggs are cooked and set. Lay the tomatoes, avocado slices, some chopped green onion, and some shredded cheese on half of the eggs. Carefully flip the one side of the omelet over the side with the tomato, avocado slices, etc. Slide onto a plate... garnish with additional shredded cheese, chopped green onion, & salsa. Bacon or ham would also be great in this!

Waffles - S

4 eggs

1/2 C Almond milk

3 T Butter, melted

1 C THM Baking Blend or Substitute

2 t Pyure

2-1/2 t Baking powder

splash vanilla

pinch of salt

***

Beat all ingredients together until smooth. Bake in a standard-sized waffle iron sprayed with coconut oil. These waffles may be frozen and reheated in a toaster. Top with your favorite toppings of choice. I prefer dollops of Stevia-sweetened Greek yogurt with a splash of vanilla and strawberries. Can also top with butter and your favorite sugar-free maple syrup.
