Meal Time

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Bread (for toasting)
• Morning Star Meatless Sausage Patties (the variety with Maple Syrup flavoring are awesome)
• Vegetarian Baked Beans
• Olive Oil

For home fries / potato scramble

• Small red rotatos
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 x Green Pepper
• 1 x Shallot
• Garlic salt (or other spices to your taste)

Method

You don’t really need to know how to make breakfast (we assume), so here’s the easiest parts:

1. Start cooking your sausage patties first on the griddle, or in a pan with very little olive oil or non-stick spray. These will take the longest out of the simple ingredients.
2. Cook your eggs any way you want them. We prefer fried Sunny Side Up (Nick’s Favorite) or fried Over Hard (Melody’s Favorite). This style goes much better with the other items on this breakfast plate.
3. Vegetarian baked beans can be heated in the microwave fairly quickly…they only take about 3 minutes at the most.
4. Don’t forget the toast.

Now for the potato scramble…

• Pre-heat the over to 400 degrees
• Cut up the potatos into small bite size pieces. If the red potatos are small already, you may be able to just quarter them.
• Dice the pepper and shallot, or at least cut into very small random pieces.
• You want the potatoes small enough so they won’t take too long to crisp up in the oven, and you want the peppers and shallot to cook very quickly in a frying pan.
• Dry the potato by placing onto a paper towel, and pressing as much of the moisture out as possible.
• Put the potatoes in a mixing bowl, and add enough olive oil to get all the pieces coated
• Then add the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and any other spices you want.  You really can’t go wrong at this stage, but remember, you can always add some spice after cooking.
• Place the potatoes onto a baking sheet, and put into oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pieces get crispy on the outsides. This will depend on how small the pieces are.
• While they are cooking, place the peppers and shallot into a frying pan with just a little olive oil or non-stick spray.
• Saute them until they are not quite caramelized, but this is your choice too. This will take about 10 minutes at the most, so start this step when the potatos are about half-way done.
• When the potatoes are done, remove from the oven, and place onto a plate (with the other breakfast elements that you’ve made).
• Add the peppers and onions to the potatos and mix around a little, making a nice scramble.
• Salt and pepper to taste, and you’re done.
