Simple Weekend Breakfasts


Weekend breakfast for me must be simple, nutritious, and tasty.  And while I know that crescent rolls are not the most nutritious food out there, we rarely enjoy them.  I made an exception this weekend to enjoy these tasty roll-ups with the kids in town.   


Breakfast Crescent Roll-Ups
Of course, you cannot forget the coffee!

One Tube of Crescent Rolls 
Deli sliced ham or turkey 
Sliced Cheese of your choice

These are simply the easiest breakfast to create.  We loved adding a combination of ham and turkey with varying cheeses based on what was already in my refrigerator. Simply roll a slice of the meat and a half slice of the cheese inside the crescent triangle and roll from wide side to tip.  Bake according to the directions on the crescent roll package.  
So yummy, I made a second batch!



Breakfast Egg Cups

Two slices of ham or turkey per cup
One egg per cup
Bake at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes

I loved this recipe as well.  This is the first time I have tried this and it was a hit!  I simply placed two pieces of deli sliced turkey (it is what I had on hand) overlapped on top of a cup on the muffin tin.  Then I cracked the egg over the cup and let the weight of the egg push the meat into the tin and create the cup.  I then baked the cups until the whites were set and the yolks were lightly set. We served these just as they are.  
What I loved about this breakfast is that I could get it in the oven and go about getting ready while they baked.  I didn't need to be standing by the stove checking the eggs like I would if they were scrambled or poached, etc.
