LAURA'S BREAKFAST RING
Cook either or all:
4 slices bacon
4 links sausage
1 cup ham, cubed
2 pkgs refrigerator Crescent Rolls
Layout on White Stone with Handles (refer to picture on main page)
Press center section together leaving small center opening
8 eggs
2 tsp Dijon Mustard Rub
1/2 cups milk
Salt & Pepper
Whip together
2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
1 bell pepper, seeded & sectioned
Breakfast meat (whichever you chose)
Place in Manual Food Processor and mince to Pesto consistency.
Combine with eggs in bowl.
In Stir-Fry Skillet, cook egg mixture to moist scramble (do not stir constantly) push cooked eggs to outside.
Combine cheeses of choice
I used:
1 cup mild cheddar, grated
1 cup mozzarella, grated
½ cup Cotija, crumbled
Or
A Mexican blend
Spread 1 cup around center of the rolls.
Put ALL of egg mixture on top of cheese. It seems like too much but it works.
Spread remaining cheese on top of eggs
Take the points of the rolls over the top of the mixture and tuck down under (does not have to tuck tight). Clean up extra cheese so not to burn.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes. Place a bowl of Salsa in the center.
(and after making this 6 times in 3 weeks you would think I would have taken a picture of the finished piece…nope forgot every time)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 4 12-cup mini-muffin tins.
Mix apples, water, white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon together in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until apples are partially cooked, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl; cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Place a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture into a mini muffin cup, and press it into the cup so that it covers the bottom and pushes up the sides of the cup. Make the crust go all the way to the top of the little muffin cup, and patch any holes with more crust mixture. There will be crust mixture left over. Place about 2 teaspoons of apple filling in the crust. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the remaining crust mixture on the filling.
