Banana Bliss Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD SPINACH AND MUSHROOM BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and beginning to brown; about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until spinach just begins to wilt, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Gently whisk in the cooled mushroom mixture, then pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Place the English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with some butter if using. Bake until slightly toasty, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, use a large round biscuit cutter (about 3 3/4 inches in diameter) or the rim of a juice glass to cut out 6 rounds of egg. (For ways to use the leftover egg scraps, see Cook's Note.) Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, remove each egg round from the pan and place on bottom half of an English muffin. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese and the other muffin half. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminum foil, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• To reheat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a paper towel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and eggs are warmed through. Alternatively, thaw a foil-wrapped frozen sandwich overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 425-degree F oven until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

BANANA BLISS BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cook sandwiches in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning once, 5 minutes or until golden brown. Each serving contains: Vitamin A 10%, Vitamin C 10%, Calcium 6%, Iron 8%.

BLACKSTONE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Set 2 burners to medium and 2 burners to low on a 36-inch Blackstone® Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until well beaten. Whisk in 1 teaspoon salt and set aside.
• Put the bacon over medium heat in a single layer. Once the fat starts to render, spread some of it to the low-heat side of the griddle, for the biscuits to cook in. Press the individual biscuits between your hands to help flatten and widen them, then arrange them on the low-heat side in a tight circle. Cover the biscuits with a 12-inch heavy-duty round basting cover or dome and cook until golden on one side, about 8 minutes. Uncover, flip each biscuit, cover again and continue to cook until golden and fluffy on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, as the bacon cooks, move the cooked pieces to the low-heat side of the griddle, positioning them between you and the biscuits; the fat will continue to render and run towards the drain for the biscuits to fry in.
• When all the bacon is cooked, after about 8 minutes, reduce the medium-heat side to low. Add the spinach, spread it in a single layer and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Spread the spinach out over a rough rectangular area covering about a third of the griddle. Pour the eggs over the spinach and with the back of a large spatula, spread the eggs into an even rectangle. Arrange 2 rows of 4 slices of pepper jack cheese on half of the egg rectangle, then top each slice of cheese with a tomato slice. Using a large metal spatula, flip the plain half of the eggs over the cheese- and tomato-topped half, like a book, to enclose the filling. Using the side of the spatula, cut between the cheese slices, resulting in 8 stuffed egg squares.
• Split each biscuit in half and fill with an egg square and 2 pieces of bacon. Serve with hot sauce.

BANANA BLISS

Steps:

• Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
• Peel the bananas and cut them into diagonal slices about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, roast the pecans, stirring constantly, until they begin to darken and give off a rich toasted aroma. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a 10-inch skillet whisk together the water, butter, and sugar. When the butter melts, add the seasoning mix and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, then add the reserved bananas and pecans. Combine to cook, stirring gently, for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
