Cheese and Egg Breakfast Braid image

I found a recipe in Cooking Light that looked great, but I knew I would want to make some changes (mainly, I wanted to make it veg). Here is the recipe as I intend to make it, posted for safekeeping. Feel free to offer suggestions! I'm also tempted to add more veggies...

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (13 7/8 ounce) can pizza dough (I'll make my own)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup mushroom, diced
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/4 cup green chili, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook until tender. Stir in eggs and chiles; cook until set. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Sprinkle 1/2 c cheese lengthwise down center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border on each side. Spoon egg mixture evenly over cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheddar over egg mixture.
  • 5. Make 2-inch-long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling using a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Arrange strips over filling, alternating strips diagonally over filling. Press ends under to seal. Brush with egg white if desired. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into slices.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover cheese and eggs.

This cheese and egg breakfast braid was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and turned out so well. The dough was flaky and the filling was cheesy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
