Egg in a Biscuit

 Ingredients

• 1 can jumbo flaky biscuits (usually 8 in each can)

• 8 eggs

• 1 packet bacon bits

• Shredded cheese, your choice

• Everything Bagel seasoning

• Scallions, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease muffin tin. Pull apart biscuits (roughly in half) and line each muffin cup with one half of a biscuit. (Only line as many muffin cups as you have total biscuits, though. So if you have 8 total biscuits, only line 8 muffin cups). Try to get the biscuit dough to come up over the edges of the muffin cup.
3. Crack an egg into each biscuit-lined muffin cup.
4. Top with scallions, Everything Bagel seasoning, bacon bits, cheese (and whatever else your heart desires).
5. Cover each egg with the other half of the biscuit. Smoosh the top dough with the bottom dough to seal the egg & other goodies inside the biscuit. This can be easier said than done.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until egg whites are set (or egg is cooked to your preference).
7. Enjoy! You can also put these in the fridge or freezer for later.

Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• ¾ lb sweet potatoes 
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1½ cups milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Cut sweet potatoes into medium-size chunks and place in a medium saucepan of water. Boil until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain. (If you want to remove the skins, immediately immerse in cold water to loosen and remove - I never bother with this.) Mash.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, and butter. Blend sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture to form a batter.
3. Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Grease with butter. Drop batter mixture onto the prepared griddle and cook until golden brown, turning once with a spatula when the surface begins to bubble.

Muffin Pan Popovers

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk, lukewarm
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional - the recipe called for unsalted butter, but ain't nobody, so I just use reg.  The extra salt doesn't bother me, but you can leave it out if you want)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 Tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the oven rack on a lower shelf. (The 450 temp is important.  If you've noticed your oven burns hot, lower the temp, or else they won't rise)
2. Place the whole eggs in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes. (Just to get them warm)
3. Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan all over (including the areas around the cups) with butter.  (We're talking a full 1/2 TBS per cup, pooled in the bottom)
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and salt until the mixture is well combined. Add the flour and continue whisking until the mixture is frothy. (There shouldn’t be any large lumps.)
5. Quickly whisk in the melted butter until combined then divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them 2/3 to 3/4 full.
6. Bake the popovers for 20 minutes *without opening the oven door.* 
7. Reduce the heat to 350°F (again without opening the door), and bake the popovers for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until they're a deep, golden brown. 
8. Remove the popovers from the oven, release them from the pan and serve immediately with jelly or preserves
