BREAKFAST BAKED EGG SOUFFLES (PANERA BREAD COPYCAT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix the 3 eggs, milk and heavy cream. Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and blend thoroughly. Either microwave at 30 second intervals or cook on stovetop until a sort of runny scrambled egg consistency. Remove from heat. Add ham and stir.
• 2. Unroll the dough and pinch 2 triangles together and roll to fit into a 4 inch ramekin. (Can use flour to roll out). Do again for second ramekin.
• 3. Brush melted butter insides of two 4 inch ramekins and line with the dough. Fill the ramekins with equal amounts of filling of egg mixture. Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese. Fold over the overhanging dough so it is no longer hanging over the sides of the ramekins. Can brush with a beaten egg, if desired. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is brown and crusty. Cool 5 minutes and enjoy!
• 4. I make a lower fat version using reduced fat Pillsbury Crescent rolls, 1/2 cup liquid eggs, Fat free half and half instead of milk and heavy cream, one to two Laughing Cow Swiss wedges, and 97% fat free ham. I like to use full fat Parmesan cheese. Spray the ramekins with butter flavored cooking spray instead of using melted butter. I pile it into one ramekin just for me and savor every bite (adjust baking time)! Of course I like the full fat the best, but this isn't all that bad.
• 5. SPINACH/ARTICHOKE: 3 Tbsp frozen spinach, thawed, 3 tbsp minced artichoke hearts, 2 tsp minced onion, 1 tsp minced red pepper, 1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 c shredded monterey jack cheese. (Instead of ham and swiss cheese) Top with 1/4 cup shredded Asiago Cheese

MULTI-GRAIN BREAD (GLUTEN, DAIRY AND EGG-FREE)

Steps:

• BREADMAKER METHOD.
• Sift and combine the all the dry ingredients except egg replacer powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer (or eggs)with about 1/2 a cup of the water, until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients, withholding about 1/4 - 1/2 cup water, and combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix together. Add extra water slowly, around 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter is the correct consistency - thicker than a cake batter, but not as thick as cookie dough. Spoon into the pan.
• Set the breadmaker to the setting recommended by the instructions specific to your model. If there are no such instructions try either the 'Basic' setting or the 'Rapid' setting. If your breadmaker is programmable, set it to skip the second kneading, as this is not necessary for GF breads. Another option, for breadmakers with a 'Bake Only' setting, is use the 'Dough' setting and then the 'Bake Only'.
• If your your breadmaker does a reasonable job of mixing, it is possible to add the wet ingredients to the pan and than add the combined dry ingredients (or vice-versa, depending on the model). If using this method, about 5 minutes into mixing you will need to check that all the flour has been mixed in thoroughly and, if not, scrape the sides and base and stir with a rubber spatula. At this time check the consistency and add extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. If the mixture is too wet, try adding a little extra flour.
• Remove the bread from the machine as soon as it is cooked and don't leave in the machine during the 'Keep Warm' cycle. Turn out from pan after a few minutes and cool on a wire rack.
• *If your breadmaker has a removable blade, you can also try this : Mix the batter until smooth, remove the blade from the pan, place the dough in the pan and cook normally. This way you avoid the big hole in the bottom of the bread and also avoid the second kneading.
• HAND METHOD 1.
• Sift and combine the dry ingredients except egg replacer powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer (or eggs) with about 1/2 a cup of the water until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients (withholding a little water as explained above).
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix slowly. When combined beat on high until batter is smooth, adding more water slowly if required.
• Spoon into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draught free position to rise for about 1 hour. (If you can't find a warm position, a very low oven can be used.).
• Remove plastic wrap, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 40-50 minutes. (A skewer placed into the centre of the bread should come out clean.) Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
• *If you find the bread is becoming too dark, you can loosely cover it with foil part-way into cooking.
• HAND METHOD 2.
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon of the sugar in 1/2 a cup of the luke warm water. Add the yeast and set aside to proof for 10 minutes.( The mixture should become frothy.).
• Sift and combine the dry ingredients except egg replacer powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer (or eggs) with about 1/2 a cup of the water until frothy. Add remaining wet ingredients (withholding a little water as explained above). Add proofed yeast.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and mix slowly. When combined beat on high until batter is smooth, adding more water slowly if required.
• Spoon into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draught free position to rise for about 1 hour. (If you can't find a warm position, a very low oven can be used.).
• Remove plastic wrap, and bake at 190°C (375°F) 40-50 minutes. (A skewer placed into the centre of the bread should come out clean.) Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
• *If you find the bread is becoming too brown, you can loosely cover with foil part-way into cooking.

POLISH EGG BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast packages in 1 cup of warm water; set aside.
• Bring milk to a boil. Remove from heat; add remaining 1 cup water, butter, and 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of salt; stir until butter melts. Pour in sugar and stir until dissolved.
• When milk mixture has cooled to lukewarm, stir in dissolved yeast.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs until combined. Whisk milk mixture into eggs. Gradually add 5 pounds of flour. Transfer dough to a floured work surface, and use a serrated knife to divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball and place the dough in two large oiled bowls. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Once risen, turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and divide into 6 equal portions. Shape the dough into balls. (Dough will be very sticky and soft at this point.) Keep the dough covered with greased plastic wrap while you divide one dough ball into 3 pieces. Shape the dough into three ropes, braid together, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining loaves. You should be able to fit two loaves per baking sheet.
• Bake loaves in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until hollow-sounding when tapped on top. Let cool, and enjoy!

EGG AND CHEESE BREAD OMELET

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, scallion and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and starting to brown around the edges. Add the egg mixture and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Working quickly, dip 1 slice of the bread in the eggs, then flip it and place close to one edge of the pan. Repeat with the remaining slice of bread, setting it across the pan from the first bread slice (near the opposite edge) so they are in a straight line with eggs all around. Season with a pinch salt.
• Continue to cook the eggs until they are completely set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide a large metal spatula under the bread slices and flip the whole omelet in one single motion. Put the cheese on top of the omelet, covering the bread slices. Using the spatula, fold one side of the omelet (but not the bread side) over the bread and cheese followed by the other side. Then fold in half to form a sandwich and continue to cook until the bread on the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
