GRANDMA'S ITALIAN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
• Place each American cheese slice between two pieces of bread to assemble 6 sandwiches.
• Dip both sides of each sandwich in egg mixture.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• Place dipped sandwiches in the hot frying pan; cook until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE & EGG CROISSANTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cheese, jalapeno and herbs. Crumble sausage over mixture and mix well. Shape into eight patties. , In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Set aside and keep warm., Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. In another large nonstick skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat. Add half of the egg mixture to the skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges). , As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. Cover and cook 1-2 minutes longer or until top is set. Slide eggs onto a plate; cut into four wedges. Repeat with remaining butter and egg mixture., Spread mayonnaise over croissants; layer with sausage patties, eggs, tomato and avocado. Replace tops.

ITALIAN PEPPER AND EGG SANDWICH

• In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic during the last couple of minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground pepper. Beat until well mixed. Add the egg mixture to the pepper mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
• Serve in the hoagie rolls (or, on slices of Italian bread). And, if you like hot stuff, add a little hot (as in spicy hot) giardiniera to top it off.

Heat pizza sauce in microwave, then spread on toasted bread.You may use more than 1 tbsp if you like it saucey. Place your egg on top of sauce and sprinkle liberally with freshly grated parmesan.

ITALIAN EGG SANDWICH

• In a small, heavy skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over a medium flame. Crack the egg into the skillet, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the white is firm and the yolk almost set, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread until golden brown. Brush the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil over the toast. Rub the garlic over the toast, then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Spoon the drained marinara sauce over the Parmesan cheese and top with the cooked egg. Serve immediately.

ITALIAN EGG DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, flour and 1 cup butter or margarine and work in like a pie crust. Set aside.
• Beat 4 of the eggs with milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, and vanilla.
• Make a well with dry ingredients and add lemon mixture. Mix in Sambucca and the one egg.
• Make ropes with dough about 4 inches long and shape into whatever you like. I usually shape into spiral shape. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make a glaze with confectioners' sugar and flavor with the almond extract (or any other flavoring you like). Add enough milk to the confectioners' sugar to make a loose frosting. Try to frost the cookies when cool. Just dip tops into frosting and twist. Sprinkle colored candies, if you like them, while the cookies are still wet with frosting.
• You can also use this recipe to make filled cookies. For filled cookies you need to roll the dough into 12 x 4 inch oblong shapes and fill with filling. To Make Filling: Poach prunes with a little water. Remove from heat and add raisins, chopped walnuts, chopped candied cherries and 2 eggs. Mix well. Add a few drops of any flavoring you like, I like lemon.
• After the dough is stretched, place the filling in the middle , lengthwise and roll dough. Place on cookie sheet with seam on the bottom.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until the crust is golden (about 20-30 min.) When cool you can frost the logs and let the frosting dry then slice on the bias. (My husband loves the ends of the logs.) ENJOY!!
