Elaines Breakfast Pie Recipes

"BORN TO RUN" SAVORY BREAKFAST HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Saute the Taylor ham over medium-high heat until just starting to brown and crisp up. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.
• Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal balls and roll each into an 8-inch circle. Place 1 slice of cheese onto half of each circle of dough. Top with 1/2 cup scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup Taylor ham and another slice of cheese. Fold the dough over the filling, stretching to fit, then align the edges and seal with the egg wash. Press the edges with a fork to seal. Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash and cut 2 slits in the top with a sharp knife. Bake until golden brown, 20 minutes.

ELAINE'S SPECIAL NO-SUGAR GRANOLA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Spread sunflower seeds on 1 baking sheet. Spread hazelnuts on the another baking sheet.
• Toast sunflower seeds and hazelnuts in the preheated oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop hazelnuts into smaller pieces.
• Combine sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
• Stir honey, butter, sorghum syrup, and vanilla extract together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour over oat mixture and mix well to combine. Spread granola evenly on the baking sheets.
• Bake 1 baking sheet at a time in the preheated oven until granola is golden, about 9 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and continue baking, about 9 minutes more. Repeat with second baking sheet.
