Pizza for breakfast? Yes please! A thin, crispy crust topped with salty bacon, a pile of soft scrambled eggs and melted cheddar cheese.. now that’s how I like to start my mornings!

I’m one of those people that likes to enjoy breakfast all day long. Eggs and bacon are my love language! If you’re looking for other recipes to make for breakfast (or any meal, really) try breakfast quesadillas, breakfast enchiladas, or this easy-to-make breakfast casserole!

Bacon Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Breakfast pizza? Pizza for breakfast? Now we’re talking! Even though this recipe is simply bacon and eggs piled onto a pizza crust, trust me when I say that this breakfast pizza will earn you major brownie points with anyone you serve it to. Total cool Mom status, right?

First, scramble up some eggs until they are just cooked through but still nice and soft. They’ll cook a little more in the oven later, so keep them just a tad on the undercooked side. Add them to some refrigerated pizza dough for easy prep along with “pizza sauce” made with Dijon mustard and mayo, then cover with bacon and shredded cheese. Pop it in the oven, and voila! Easy, cheesy, breakfast pizza magic.

Ingredients for Bacon and Cheddar Breakfast Pizza

This is everything I used to make this bacon and cheddar breakfast pizza. It uses a lot of simple ingredients but is so incredibly delicious! I know your family will love it as much as mine does.

Refrigerated Pizza Crust Dough: Premade to make your life a little easier. I used Pillsbury thin crust! (If you want the freshest flavor possible, though, another great option is this quick and easy homemade pizza dough!)

Chopped Bacon: Using precooked bacon is another great way to cut down on time.

Eggs: Beaten together to create the scramble.

Milk: So your scrambled eggs turn out fluffy and tender!

Salt and Pepper: Used to season the eggs. You can also add a dash of seasoning salt or any other spices you prefer!

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Because every good pizza needs tons of gooey, melted cheese, right? I love the melty, savory flavor that cheddar adds, but you can also swap this out for other cheeses like monterey, colby, or pepper jack.

Mayonnaise and Dijon Mustard: Mixed together to create a creamy and tangy “pizza sauce.”

Chopped Green Onions: For a garnish on top! These add a hint of delicious onion flavor that brings the dish together.

Let’s Make Pizza for Breakfast!

Bacon breakfast pizza is SO easy to make and only takes 20 minutes from start to finish. So, even if you’re short on time you can still fuel up your kids with this hearty, delicious breakfast!

Preheat Oven, Bake Crust: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spread the pizza crust on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes.

Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crisp and remove to a plate. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet. 

Scramble Eggs: Add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet with bacon drippings and scramble until just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and spread a thin layer over the pizza crust as a “sauce.”

Layer With Toppings, Bake: Add the scrambled eggs over the sauce, then top with the cheddar cheese and bacon. Bake the pizza for another 5-7 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

Add Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Cut yourself a nice, big slice, and enjoy!

Deliciously seasoned chicken cutlets are breaded and pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. Chicken Milanese is a classic Italian recipe that is fast, easy, and sure to be a weeknight favorite!

We love chicken at our house, and I always look for easy chicken recipes for my family. Chicken Milanese cooks up quickly because the cutlets are thin. I love it when dinner doesn’t require a lot of cooking time! Try some of my fast and easy chicken recipes that are made in the air fryer like this delicious recipe or these popular drumsticks. I also love slow-cooker chicken recipes like this one!

What Is Chicken Milanese?

Originating in the city of Milan, Italy, chicken Milanese is known as a breaded and pan-fried thin cut of meat. It can be made with veal or pork, but chicken is our favorite! The breading gets crispy and golden on the outside, but the chicken remains tender and moist on the inside. I also like to use seasonings and Parmesan cheese for added flavor! You are going to love my recipe!

I love how versatile chicken Milanese is because the flavors are delicious yet simple. It’s a perfect meal for a busy weeknight or to impress dinner guests. This chicken recipe would pair well with any side dish you desire! It is commonly served with a simple side salad. But I love to serve it with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, and these easy homemade rolls.

Ingredients For Chicken Milanese

I love that this recipe uses so many basic ingredients. With just a few pantry seasonings, flour, and bread crumbs, you can create a tasty breading for your cutlets! Set up your breading station and you are good to go! The measurements can all be found in the recipe card below.

Chicken Breasts: I use boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them lengthwise to be thinner. Then I pound the cutlets to be 1/4-inch thick.

Eggs: Used for dipping to help the breading stick to the chicken.

Salt: Salt enhances the overall flavor.

Pepper: For seasoning and to balance out the flavors.

Italian Seasoning: I love to use Italian seasoning to flavor my chicken! You can get this from the store or make your own blend at home.

All-Purpose Flour: I use all-purpose flour in this recipe to give structure to the breading. You can also use whole wheat flour as an alternative.

Bread Crumbs: I use plain breadcrumbs in this recipe, but you can use Italian breadcrumbs. It’s a great shortcut! Panko breadcrumbs work as well.

Parmesan Cheese: I like to use freshly grated parmesan for the best possible flavor!

Olive Oil: I like to use olive oil for frying, but vegetable oil works too.

Lemon Wedges: For serving and to garnish.

Chicken Milanese Recipe

This chicken Milanese recipe will be a new family favorite! Once the chicken is breaded then it cooks up in minutes because the cutlets are so thin. You’ll have golden brown and tender chicken in no time! Follow my super easy instructions below.

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Use the flat end of a meat mallet to pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thick. Use a rolling pin if you don’t have a mallet. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound it thinner using a rolling pin.

Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large shallow dish, whisk your eggs, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning together.

Prepare the Breading Station: In a second shallow dish add the flour, and in a third shallow dish add the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese together in their dish.

Bread the Chicken Cutlets: Place a cutlet in the flour dish, covering both sides. Shake off any excess flour then dip the floured cutlet into the egg mixture. Evenly coat the chicken and allow any excess egg to drain off. Then coat the cutlet in the breadcrumbs and cheese mixture. Set the breaded chicken onto another dish while you bread the remaining cutlets.

Cook the Chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 4 minutes per side. The internal temperature of fully cooked chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Serve and Enjoy: Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess frying oil. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and your favorite sides because lemon makes everything better!

Scalloped potatoes are thinly sliced layered potatoes baked in a creamy garlic and herb sauce, making them tender and flavorful. Hearty and easy to make, this is the perfect side dish to any meal! 

If you’re in need of an easy side dish that is sure to impress then this is the recipe for you! These thinly sliced potatoes bake up extra creamy. The entire dish is so flavorful thanks to the addition of garlic and herbs. Serve this alongside the Garlic and Herb Prime Rib, Beef Tenderloin, Beef Wellington, or this Classic Honey Glazed Ham.

The Best Scalloped Potatoes

Potatoes are basically side dish magic. They can do so many things. And no matter how you make them, they usually end up being the highlight of the meal! These scalloped potatoes are no different. This recipe is easy to make and only needs a handful of ingredients.

The scalloped potatoes are covered in a creamy sauce made with garlic and parmesan. It not only helps to tenderize the potatoes, but gives the dish the best flavor ever! These always fly off the table whenever I make them. They’re the perfect side dish to serve alongside any hearty meal!

Ingredients Needed

Making this hearty, flavorful side dish doesn’t require many ingredients at all! Here’s everything you need, keeping it short and sweet with things you’ll likely have on hand already. Exact measurements are in the recipe card below.

Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes: These potatoes form the base of scalloped potatoes. They are starchy and hold their shape well during cooking, creating tender layers. Use either type based on your preference!

Whole Milk: Whole milk makes the sauce nice and creamy. It also adds richness and a smooth texture to the scalloped potatoes.

Heavy Cream: Combined with the whole milk to create a luscious texture. If you prefer a slightly lighter version, substitute with half and half.

Salt and Pepper: Ensure the potatoes and sauce are well-seasoned. Season to taste!

Bay Leaf: Infuses a gentle earthy and floral aroma into the dish.

Thyme: Thyme is a versatile herb with a minty and lemony taste. It complements the scalloped potatoes perfectly. Fresh or dried thyme both work!

Garlic: Garlic adds a strong, savory and delicious flavor to the scalloped potatoes. Use fresh minced garlic so your dish has the best flavor!

Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese brings a sharp, nutty, and savory flavor to the dish. It forms a golden and crispy crust on top when baked, adding a delightful texture. You can also try using different types of cheese, like gruyere or cheddar!

How to Make Scalloped Potatoes

These scalloped potatoes only take 15 minutes of prep time, which makes them perfect for popping in the oven before a gathering with friends or family!

Preheat Oven, Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2 quart glass or ceramic baking dish with non stick cooking spray and then set aside.

Slice Potatoes: Clean and dry the potatoes. Slice the potatoes evenly into ¼ inch slices. You can peel the potatoes if you prefer before slicing, but it’s not required.

Add Sauce Ingredients: In a large pot or dutch oven add the milk, cream, salt and white pepper. Stir to combine. 

Stir in Seasonings: Add in the bayleaf, fresh thyme and garlic. Stir. Heat over medium/low heat just to heat the milk, not to bring to a boil. 

Add Potatoes: Add in the potatoes. There isn’t enough cream to cover the potatoes. Carefully stir so that all of the potatoes are able to be warmed in the milk mixture. 

Transfer to Baking Dish: Using a slotted spoon remove the potatoes from the cream and then lay in the baking dish in even layers. 

Cover With Cream and Cheese: Pour the cream over the top of the potatoes. Then top with shredded parmesan cheese.

Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes uncovered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is golden.

Allow Sauce to Thicken: Remove from the oven and allow the dish to sit for at least 10 minutes prior to serving, this allows time for the cream to thicken slightly while cooling.

Ingredients for Coconut Curry

Coconut curry chicken is so flavorful and delicious! The only way to achieve this is by making sure you have all of the necessary spices and seasonings on hand. You may need to make a trip to your local Asian market!

Chicken Breasts: The main protein of the dish. If desired, you can substitute boneless chicken thighs for a more juicy option.

Potatoes: No Thai curry is complete without some soft, delicious potatoes!

Chickpeas: These are packed with fiber and protein, adding some extra nutrition to the dish.

Diced Carrots: Carrots bring a pop of color and a hint of natural sweetness to balance the spices.

Vegetable Oil: This oil is used for sautéing the onions, garlic, and ginger in, helping to build the flavorful base of the curry.

Yellow Onion: Yellow onion caramelizes beautifully when cooked, releasing its natural sweetness and enhancing the overall flavor.

Garlic: You can never go wrong with garlic. Add some in so your curry has the perfect savory flavor!

Fresh Ginger: Adds a bright and slightly spicy kick to the coconut curry chicken.

Tomato Paste: Helps to thicken the sauce and gives it more flavor.

Curry Powder: Curry powder gives the dish its distinct flavor and adds a mild, warm spiciness.

Seasonings and Spices: I used a mix of curry powder, turmeric, and salt and pepper to add flavor to the curry.

Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Tones down the heat of the curry and also adds a delicious creaminess.

Cilantro and Rice (For Serving): Fresh cilantro is used as a garnish, giving the dish some extra flavor. Serve the coconut curry chicken over a bed of fluffy white rice to absorb all the tasty flavors!

How to Make Coconut Curry in a Slow Cooker

Using a crockpot to cook your curry helps all of the delicious flavors meld together. It’s also great because you can prepare it in the morning, and then have a hearty, delicious meal to come home to in the evening.

Prepare Chicken, Heat Pan: Prepare your chicken by chopping it into 2 inch pieces and seasoning with some salt and pepper. Then heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Saute the chicken for 5-8 minutes, until just seared on all sides.

Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: To the slow cooker add your seared chicken, potatoes, chickpeas, and carrots, set aside while you prepare your sauce.

Sauté Vegetables: In the skillet you cooked your chicken in, heat your oil over medium high heat, then add the onion to the pan and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add in your garlic and ginger and saute for about 1 minute more.

Add Remaining Sauce Ingredients: To the saucepan add your tomato paste, curry powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and coconut milk. Whisk everything together well, then remove from heat.

Cook: Pour your sauce over your chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker, then cover with the lid and cook for 4 hours on high. You can also cook on low for 8 hours.

Serve: Serve fresh over rice with some chopped cilantro on top.

If you’re a fan of peppers and haven’t tried roasted poblano peppers yet, you’re missing out! These peppers have a unique flavor that is smoky, slightly sweet, and just a little bit spicy. Roasting them brings out their full potential, making them perfect for giving your favorite Mexican dishes a little kick.

Once you’ve roasted your peppers, here are a few delicious recipes to use them in: chicken enchiladas with avocado cream sauce, this queso chicken skillet, or salsa tatemada! You’ll love the smoky flavor with a hint of heat that roasted poblano peppers add.

Oven Roasted Poblano Peppers

Let’s talk peppers. If you don’t use poblano peppers in your cooking, here is your sign to! They’re more mild than jalapeno and serrano peppers, but still add a tasty kick to any dish. I’ll let you in on a secret, though. If you want to get the most out of your poblano peppers, you need to roast them! When these peppers hit the heat, their taste transforms into a rich and smoky delight that will make your dishes shine. Poblano peppers are known for their delicious natural sweetness, and roasting them only makes them taste even better.

So, how can you use these amazing peppers? The options are endless! One fantastic way to enjoy roasted poblano peppers is by stuffing them with a mixture of cheese, beef, and spices. If you’re feeling adventurous, chop up these roasted wonders and toss them into sizzling fajitas or stir them into a zesty salsa. Whether you’re adding a smoky twist to your favorite Mexican dishes or elevating soups and stews, roasted poblano peppers are the flavor-packed secret ingredient that will take them to the next level.

Everything You’ll Need

To make a batch of roasted poblano peppers in the oven, you’ll only need a few simple things:

Poblano Peppers: I used 6 to line my baking sheet with. The ideal poblano pepper should have a shiny skin with a rich, deep green color. Avoid peppers that appear dull or have blemishes, as they might be past their prime.

A Sheet Pan: A sheet pan with a high rim is preferable, as it prevents the peppers from rolling off and helps contain any juices or oils that may be released during the roasting process.

Aluminum Foil: This not only helps to prevent sticking but also simplifies cleanup afterward. By creating a protective barrier between the peppers and the pan, aluminum foil ensures even roasting and helps to retain the peppers’ moisture.

How to Roast Poblano Peppers in the Oven

It’s super easy and something you don’t want to skip when making salsas, soups, fajitas, you name it! Roasting these green peppers really brings out the best in them. You won’t want poblanos any other way!

Wash Peppers, Add to Baking Sheet: Wash the poblano chiles and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Turn on Broiler: Adjust the oven rack to just about the center position. Then set the oven to broil on high.

Roast: Place the peppers in the oven for 10 -15 minutes, flipping halfway through the broiling time.

Transfer to Bag: Depending on the recipe you are using them in, place poblano peppers into a plastic bag and then seal to let them sweat their moisture out. This makes the removal of the skin easier. Allow the peppers to cool in the bag and sweat as they cool.

Use: Use roasted peppers for salsas, sauces, chile relleno, and so many other recipes!

Bangers and mash, a classic British dish, is hearty comfort food at its finest! You’ll love these fluffy mashed potatoes and flavorful pork sausages all smothered in a caramelized onion gravy. There’s a reason why it’s an English favorite!

Looking for more tasty British dishes to try? Here are a few of my favorites: Yorkshire pudding, banoffee pie, and cucumber sandwiches!

What is Bangers and Mash?

Picture this: plump, juicy sausages sizzling away in a hot pan, perfectly browned. (The heat will sometimes cause them to split and pop, making a bang noise, hence the name “bangers.”) And what’s their faithful companion? Creamy, buttery mashed potatoes that melt in your mouth. This British classic is the epitome of comfort food, the kind that wraps you up in a warm hug and makes all your worries disappear.

As if juicy pork sausages and mashed potatoes weren’t good enough on their own, I like to smother them in a generous helping of onion gravy. If you’re craving a hearty, savory dish, this is honestly the best choice. The flavors of salty sausage, buttery potatoes, and caramelized onions are so great together! Let’s start with everything you need to make this pub classic.

Everything You’ll Need

This is everything I used to make my version of bangers and mash, but since this is supposed to be comfort food, feel free to switch things up and make it your own! Throw in veggies, use a different kind of sausage, the options are endless.

Sausage: Traditionally, large pork sausage links are used but you can use any sausage of your choice.

Russet Potatoes: These are my favorite for mashing! They have the perfect consistency!

Salt and Pepper: To season your potatoes to taste. You could also add a dash of seasoning salt, or your other favorite seasonings to give your potatoes more flavor! Smoked paprika is another great choice.

Butter: The secret to the best mashed potatoes is butter… and a lot of it! This is comfort food, calories don’t count.

Whole Milk: Adds creaminess to the potatoes and also helps to adjust the consistency.

Sour Cream: Gives the mash a slight tangy flavor.

Onion Gravy: I think onion gravy really brings this dish together, but you can also use white gravy or regular brown gravy.

How to Make Bangers and Mash

Bangers and mash is easy to make and it’s great because it’s a self-contained meal! It’s sure to fill your family up and leave them all satisfied.

Cook Potatoes: Peel and chop your potatoes into 1-2 inch chunks. Boil until completely cooked through and easily mashed.

Cook Sausages: While your potatoes are boiling, add your sausage to a medium skillet over medium high heat and cook the sausage thoroughly, be sure to rotate the sausage periodically as it cooks.

Season and Mash: Once the potatoes are ready remove them from the water, drain, and add them into a large bowl with your salt, pepper, butter, milk, and sour cream. Using a hand mixer or potato masher, mash the potatoes and blend all the ingredients together until they come together smoothly.

Assemble, Add Gravy: Plate your mashed potatoes with a couple sausages on top, and top the whole thing with a generous helping of onion gravy.

Enjoy: This dish is best enjoyed fresh!

Palmiers, or “palm trees” in French, are a delightful pastry shaped like a palm leaf. With a buttery, flaky texture that’s impossible to resist, enjoy one fresh out of the oven and prepare to be amazed.

French baked goods are actually the best. If you’re up for the challenge, try making some fresh and delicious macarons or kouign amann next!

Palmiers Recipe

Palmiers go by a few different names. Palm hearts, pigs ears, or elephant ears! No matter what you call them, these heart-shaped pastries are sure to win you over. They’re also a breeze to make, requiring just a single sheet of puff pastry, granulated sugar, and a sprinkling of coarse sugar. Really, is there anything better than a simple dessert?

Just wait until you see these come out of the oven, though. They’re light, flaky and wonderful, with a gorgeous coating of caramelized sugar on top. One bite and you’ll be hooked! Palmiers: the pastries that are easy to make, but impossible to resist.

3 Ingredients

Yes, you read that right. It only takes 3 ingredients to whip up these flaky delights! Next time you’re at the store, pick up a pack of refrigerated puff pastry sheets! You won’t regret it.

Sheet of Puff Pastry: The star of our show! Puff pastry dough is the foundation of our palmiers. Made with layers upon layers of buttery goodness, it’s what gives these treats their irresistible texture. As it bakes, the layers puff up, creating a light and airy pastry that practically melts in your mouth.

Granulated Sugar: The granulated sugar plays a crucial role in transforming our palmiers into sweet delights. During baking, the granulated sugar caramelizes, creating a delicate and slightly crunchy crust.

Coarse Sugar: Coarse sugar adds that extra element of texture and sparkle to the palmiers. These larger sugar crystals don’t fully dissolve during baking, leaving behind pockets of sweet surprise.

How to Make Palmiers

I feel like this is one of the few French pastry recipes that is actually foolproof. Really, you can’t mess these palmier cookies up. Here’s how to achieve buttery, flaky goodness:

Preheat Oven, Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

Add Sugar: Dust a clean surface with granulated and coarse sugar and place the puff pastry on top. Dust with more granulated sugar and lightly with the coarse sugar. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough just until the sugar is pressed into it.

Fold: Fold each side of the puff pastry in twice until they meet in the middle. Sprinkle with more sugar and fold in one more time, so the two sides touch.

Cut: Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 24 slices, each about ¼ inch thick.

Add to Baking Sheet: Place the cookies onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them.

Bake: Bake for 6 minutes before removing from the oven and flipping each cookie over and baking for 4-6 minutes longer, until deeply golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy: Let cool completely before serving.

How to Grill Pork Chops

By grilling these pork chops, instead of cooking them in the oven, you get a delicious and smoky flavor that perfectly complements the marinade. These are so delicious and easy. You will love them!

Combine Marinade Ingredients: Mix your tomato paste, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined.

Add Pork Chops and Let Sit: Add your raw pork chops and marinade to a plastic bag and let the pork chops sit for at least an hour.

Cook: Place the marinated pork chops on the preheated and well-oiled grill, and discard the marinade. Grill the bbq pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side. They are safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you’re anything like me, then you know that garlic is one of the best ingredients in the kitchen. And when you infuse it into some good quality olive oil, well, get ready for some serious magic! Garlic infused olive oil can be used in countless dishes, adding a rich and savory kick to everything from pasta to roasted veggies to a slice of good crusty bread. Prepare to be addicted!

You’re going to love the extra flavor that garlic olive oil gives your favorite dishes. Try it in some olive oil bread dip or drizzled over pasta salad!

Garlic Olive Oil Recipe

If you haven’t been cooking with olive oil, you really need to come to the dark side. I don’t think I could live without it! It adds a delicious, earthy, and slightly fruity flavor to any recipe. Plus, it’s full of healthy fats and is a much healthier option than vegetable or canola oil. And if you’re already an olive oil fiend like me, then it’s time to be mind-blown: olive oil infused with garlic!

I mean, can you ever really get enough garlic? Why not infuse it into your cooking oil! The flavor is so incredible, I don’t think I want to go back to regular olive oil. I also added fresh herbs to my mixture for a little extra flavor, but this is totally optional! Making your own blend is part of the fun.

Ingredients Needed

You could technically just use olive oil and fresh garlic, but I added fresh herbs to my garlic olive oil as well. Exact measurements can be found below in the recipe card.

Olive Oil: Don’t skimp! Using a high-quality olive oil makes all the difference in its flavor. Pure or extra-virgin olive oil is the way to go.

Garlic Cloves: Fresh garlic cloves work best.

Fresh Herbs: I added a sprig of rosemary, but you can also add things like basil, parsley, or dill! It’s so fun to experiment with different flavors and see what you end up with.

How to Make Garlic-Infused Olive Oil

It takes less than 10 minutes, so why not make yourself a bottle? I know you’ll love how it turns out and want to use it for everything!

Prepare Garlic: Start by preparing your garlic. Peel and smash your garlic.

Cook and Infuse: In a small saucepan add the olive oil and garlic cloves. Turn the heat to low heat and let it cook until it starts to turn brown for about 5 minutes.

Strain: Discard the cloves and let the oil completely cool. Then strain the oil to remove any bits of garlic into your container.

Add Herbs if Desired: Add sprigs of fresh herbs of choice. I used rosemary and thyme.
