Pie For Breakfast

Instructions

Drain the canned tomatoes. If your sun-dried tomatoes are in oil, drain, then dice. Combine the two tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Add the garlic.

In a quiche pan, spread the tomato mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the parmesan evenly over the tomatoes. 

Whisk together the eggs and milk/half and half. Pour over the tomato and cheese mixture, in the quiche pan. 

Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes until set. The eggs will puff up so make sure there is room in the pan for expansion.

Instructions

Brown the ground turkey sausage in a pan with a dash of olive oil and a tsp of chopped garlic.

Brown the turkey bacon until crisp. Add a dash of olive oil if the bacon is sticking to the pan.

Once the meats are cooked through, chop the turkey bacon and add to the ground turkey sausage, combining the two together. Set aside.

In the same pan as the turkey was cooked, add a tablespoon of olive oil and ½ tsp of garlic and warm. Add sliced onions. Cook until translucent. Add the red pepper and cook until the onions and peppers are both soft and cooked through. Transfer to the paper towels to absorb the grease.

In a quiche pan, spread the turkey and bacon mixture evenly in the pan. Add the onion and pepper mixture on top of the turkey mixture, spreading evenly.

Whisk together the eggs and milk/half and half. Pour over the turkey mixture, onion, and peppers in the quiche pan. Sprinkle the green onions over the top.

Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes until set. The eggs will puff up so make sure there is room in the pan for expansion.

Instructions

Crab Cakes

1. Lightly chop the crab meat in the food processor and set it aside.

2. Melt one TBL of the plant butter in a large skillet and saute the scallion, garlic, and red bell pepper until wilted, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the ground red pepper, almond milk, and mustard.

4. Cool slightly. Add the egg, basil, parsley, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, and the crabmeat.

5. Mix lightly until moldable. Pour out onto a lined cookie sheet. Flatten the mixture out to 1/2" thickness. Using a ring mold the size of a hamburger patty, cut patties out of the crab mixture. You will need to press firmly.

6. If desired, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and the parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Sprinkle on top of the crab cake patties.

Chill for at least one hour. (The crab cakes can be made one day prior and refrigerated, covered, up to this point.)

Combine the oil and the remaining 2 TBL of butter over moderate heat in a large skillet.

Saute the crab cakes for 3 minutes on each side.

Lemon Dill Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.

Chill until the mixture thickens.

Poached Eggs

I used an egg poacher. For poached eggs in an egg poacher, fill the pot with water and fit the egg cup tray into the pot. Spray the cups with cooking spray. Once the water is boiling, crack the egg and carefully slide eggs into the egg cups one at a time. Cook 4-6 minutes for soft poached eggs.
