Breakfast Pie or Casserole Recipe

I remember every Christmas waking up to the same smell of my mom's breakfast pie. It was so yummy and even can be tweaked to make it more healthy. The version my mom made was so easy and took no time at all. Even as a picky eater, I loved it!

Basic Ingredients
  • 4 large Eggs
  • Corned Beef Hash
  • Cheese
  • 9 inch, deep pie pan
  • Bowl
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Instructions
  1. Pour an entire can of corned beef hash into a pie pan. 
  2. Use a fork to mash in down on the bottoms and all the way up the sides of the pan to create the pie crust 
  3. Place in oven at 450 degrees for about 7 minutes. You want it to be crispy but not fully cooked yet.
  4. Beat the eggs in a bowl with your desired amount of salt and pepper
  5. Pour eggs into pie pan
  6. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. The eggs should be cooked and fluffy all the way through. 
  7. Remove from oven and turn off
  8. Sprinkle cheese on top and put back in the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.
  9. Cut, serve and enjoy!
The Healthy Way (My Way)
  • Make sure to get the corned beef that says something like less or reduced sodium.
  • Don't add any extra seasoning because there will be enough flavor to not need it.
  • Instead of using 4 whole eggs, use 8 egg whites. 
  • Cut and dice green, red or yellow peppers, tomatoes or any other veggies you want to add. Mix in the bowl with the eggs before you pour into the pie pan. 
  • Leave off the cheese (Ok, I like healthy but there's no way I can go without my cheese)

Healthy Fried Chicken - My Mother In Law's "Fried Baked Chicken"


Everyone loves fried chicken or at least I know we do in the South. The problem is that it can be horribly unhealthy with all the oil it gets submerged into. My mother in law passed on one of her recipes to me for what she calls Fried-Baked Chicken. It is a delicious, healthy alternative way of making the oh so yummy fried chicken we love.


Ingredients / Items Needed
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • Chicken (You can use breasts, thighs or wings)
  • Baking sheet or pan
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 bowls
  • Aluminum Foil (optional)
  • Your Favorite Seasoning (I always use the no MSG Everglades Seasoning)

Instructions
  • Pour 2 Tbsp of oil onto baking sheet and spread around by tilting the sheet back and forth. This should create a very thin layer of oil on the whole sheet. For easier cleanup, you can also line the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • In one bowl, mix together 1 egg and 1 cup of milk.
  • In a different bowl, mix together 1 cup of flour and enough of your seasoning to taste.
  • Take each piece of chicken, dip in the liquid mixture and then into the dry mixture.
  • Place chicken on pan or sheet and place in oven.

Cook Time & Temperature
  • 375 degrees Fahrenheit  
  • 45 minutes to an hour

**For a nice crispy outside, you can rotate the chicken half way through the cook time.
