Breakfast Pizza

Or homemade Egg McMuffins!

I saw this recipe for breakfast pizza on the happy housewife blog, and thought it would be easy and fun to make. I thought I would try to cook everyone's scrambled egg in a nice little circle (like at McDonald's) so it would easily stay on the bottom bun, so I came up with the idea to use canning jar rings as "holders" for the scrambled egg mixture to cook inside of. Well, don't go rushing off to buy canning jar rings for this purpose because it didn't work. The egg mixture leaked out of the bottom of the rings almost completely. So I just scrambled them like usual and most of the children put a top bun on the pizza to help hold the eggs in.


Layer on homemade buns:

sausage patty
scrambled egg
a touch of grated cheese

Eat with a top bun, or without, your choice.

Easy Peasy! All the children loved them and thought it was a fun breakfast!

Homemade Hamburger Buns

This recipes uses regular bread dough for the hamburger buns (which has no dairy in it by the way). Regular bread recipe can be found here. Whether you are using a mixer or kneading by hand, take about half the dough (the amount you'd use for two loaves of bread) and instead of placing in bread pans, shape into buns. Let rise for an hour on greased cookie sheets.



Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 350. If you bake a sheet on each oven rack, check to make sure the ones on the lower rack are not burning on the bottom. Let cool.


After cooling, slice and wrap individually in saran wrap. Then put in freezer bags and freeze until use. I have found through trial and error that double wrapping before freezing insures soft, delicious bread or buns after thawing.
