Breakfast!

Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! I'm linking up with For the Love of Blogs for Tasty Tuesday. 

 I love BREAKFAST FOODS! I could eat pancakes, french toast, eggs, homefries, bacon, etc. anytime of day ... just not all at once {haha}. For today's Tasty Tuesday, I thought I would share two of my favorite breakfast recipes with all of you.  

Bacon Quiche Tarts

Ingredients:

2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
5 teaspoons 2% milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded Colby cheese
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions:

• In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add the eggs, cheese, green pepper and onion.
• Separate dough into eight triangles; press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased muffin cups. Sprinkle half of the bacon into cups. Pour egg mixture over bacon; top with remaining bacon.
• Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 18-22 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1 1/4 cups nonfat milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

8 slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed

1 (8-ounce) container strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 teaspoons bittersweet chocolate chips

2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

cooking spray

Directions:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Set aside.
• Place 1 tablespoon of ricotta in the center of 4 of the pieces of bread and spread around slightly. Top with about 6 slices of strawberries and a teaspoon of chocolate chips. Cover each with another piece of bread to make a "sandwich".
• Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and preheat. Carefully dip each of the "sandwiches" into the egg mixture until completely moistened. Then place on the skillet and cook over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the outside is golden brown and the center is warm and chocolate is melted.
• Transfer to serving places. Top with remaining strawberries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
