Cooking lesson 101

[Laura's Babies]

Slick
That's alot of eggs for one fry pan. To get the eggs to cook all the way through do you put it under the broiler? Cooking it all on the stove top...I'd be afraid the bottom would get too brown.

I cook it all in the skillet, they are scrambled so you are constantly stirring them and you always stir from the bottom of the pan.

I've never purchased the Grands or any other biscuits. Does that one tin of biscuits contain 8?
I think they do make a smaller can with 4 or 5 in it for us who live alone and don't need so many.

What if I wanted to make smaller ones or less of them? I live alone and 8 is too much for me to make. I would hate to freeze them

You can do whatever you want, they are yours..How about for less, do half with the breakfast mix, some for lunch stuff of fruit pies?

Just looking at the recipe I would use Hot Italian sausage and add some tobasco or cayenne pepper, red pepper and onion to the mixture before adding the eggs. As for cheese, I would probably mix strong cheddar with Jalapeno Jack?? (do you sense a pattern here?? ) Oh, what about cooking up some shredded hash browns in another pan and adding some on top of the egg mixture before rolling up?

I think you alread see the unlimmited possiablities.. Great minds work alike.

I made some for supper one night with sliced deli roast beef, Swiss cheese and onions and they guys tore them up!

Crew change morning I made the sausage, egg & cheese ones and made another can of them with cherry pie filling and put icing on those.

Hay, you can do them however you want, they are yours! Smaller, larger, change what you put in the center, whatever flys your kite.

I want to do some with pizza stuffing in them one day.

Yum! They look good. They're kind of like a homemade Hot Pocket. (I don't eat Hot Pockets, but i would definitely eat these!) My husband is at a conference the next couple days, maybe I'll make a couple of these for Nathan and me while he's away? It'll be fun.

Just showed hubby and he wants them for breakfast

Missy - looks like something your family would like, too

Be warned... My guys say they are addictive!

Yes only BETTER... and there are so many possiabilities!

I have been making something wrapped in dough since my days of working at school, only I have always made my roll dough and used that and I have called them "hot pockets"..

We had another Captain come ride with us and he never came down the day I made some ham and cheese ones. The next day he called me to the wheelhouse and wanted to know what I thought I was doing serving my crew something like that.. (I am sure he thought I had served the store bought frozen ones) he had such a attitude that it made me mad. I told him I go by numbers, NOT what someone who never tried one thought. My recipe (I used the word RECIPE) makes 16 of them and I had to stop one guy from eating anymore once he had eaten 4 and still only had several left over. I said as I left, "I have been cooking since probably before you were out of diapers and if I haven't learned anything else, I have learned this about cooking, "You can not please ALL the people ALL the time, but you can please SOME of the people, SOME of the time and I pleased several when I made those!" " He called my regular Captain and told him I really had a bad attitude! I have tried to find something else to call them to prevent that kind of misunderstanding from happening anymore but I always go back to calling them "hot pockets".

That other Captain has a lot of gall telling you that! I need to try to make this prep; it looks yummers.

I just have to tell you... That last crew I made them for was so impressed and I know several of them are going to go home and make them. I explained how simple they are to make and all the possiabilities of what they could do with this idea and several of them left saying they ARE going to make these at home. One guy who ate them every morning came in one morning when I had the egg mix on the rolled out dough and even though I had explained how simple it was to do several times, when he saw that, his jaw dropped and he said "OH MY! That's just TO simple! Now I KNOW I can do it!

(Cooking made simple and easy)

Question........Have you ever tried freezing them after they've been cooked?
It would be great to have a batch in the freezer and to take just one at a time out for breakfast or a quick lunch.

[Laura's Babies]

Seems to me I read somewhere that you can make them and freeze them, then microwave them for 90 seconds (I THINK!) Heck, they freeze them ones you buy so I don't see why you can't. I have just never had any left over to try freezing any.

I'm going to make some for everyone this weekend, so I'll try to keep one aside and freeze it and give it a try. I was just thinking that maybe they would get soggy when being reheated. I guess I'll find out!

[Sirrahsim]

I made these this morning using leftover steak and scrambled eggs. They were a HUGE hit with the whole family

[mruffruff]

Delicious with apple slices, butter and cinnamon; or raisins, butter and nuts; or leftover meatloaf and spaghetti sauce; or cooked chicken, green peppers and onions with a teaspoon of alfredo sauce; or just about anything else!

[sirrahbed]

I made them yesterday morning and they were WONDERFUL!! Hubby says to tell you he loved them and to thank you for posting them I am absolutely going to make them again and experiment with what I put in them.

Now, when will we be having lesson 102?

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I made a couple this weekend while Justin was at his conference and I loved them. Nathan isn't a big fan of eggs, but I was hoping he would like it, he didn't and only ate the biscuit. I made them again yesterday, after Justin got back from his conference and he loved them. We'll definitely make them again. We had leftovers too, I put them in the refrigerator and they heated up nicely this morning (45 seconds).

That apple idea is great!

I need a quick dinner tomorrow night, and I'm going to make the sausage and egg ones with a side of applesauce, since I never got to make any over the weekend. No reason they have to be for breakfast only!

[Laura's Babies]

Cooking 102 will come after next trip.. I have another recipe that knocks their socks off that they can't get enough of that is as simple and easy to make as these. You'll slap you forehead and say "Now, WHY didn't I think of that?" It too, is a grab and run item..

I am thrilled that so many gave it a try and I am loving everyones ideas on what else to put in them.. I LOVE the left over meatloaf idea and the cooked chicken, green peppers and onions with alfredo sauce. I love to find ways to "re-dress" leftovers.. The left over steak and egg one would be a BIG hit!

I LOVE sharing my recipes and ideas and getting others to do the same. I met 2 other cooks when I stayed in the training center in Paducah after I got off the boat and that is about all we did, share recipes and ideas..

[Bengalz]

Thanks Laura!!

I made them this weekend and OMG they are almost all gone (There are just the two of us...) Needless to say hubby loved them and I love them too. They're great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am going to experiment with different fillings

P.S. Pillsbury Grands come in rolls of 4 - I used 2 rolls with mild Italian sausage, 7 eggs and medium cheddar - purrfect!

Whens Cooking 102????
