Jalapeno Popper Pizza

(originally made 6/2012)

Jake and Tim spent Father's day at an amusement park, so I was free to make whatever I wanted for lunch :) I had marked this to try during last week's Challenge, but never got around to it.

I used my go-to crust, the Soft Garlic Breadstick dough. My shallots were dried, so I let them soak for a little while with the jalapenos and oil. I used the odds and ends of the cheese I had on hand, which was a bag of Mexican blend and some sharp cheddar. I brushed the crush with a little oil before baking.

Really enjoyed this one and definitely will be making it again. I froze a few pieces to see how it will reheat, but it's pretty simple to scale the recipe back on the days that one of the non-heat loving guys are home and we do individual pies.

I've seen this around the internet in a few places, but the recipe I used came from here

                          Jalapeño Popper Pizza

Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
                        Olive oil
4 slices bacon -- chopped (I nuked mine and chopped with kitchen shears)
2    jalapeños -- sliced (used jarred)
1   shallot -- sliced (used Penzey's dried)
     1/4 cup semolina or yellow cornmeal -- (used cornmeal)
1 ball Fail-Proof Pizza Dough -- (used TOH's Soft Garlic breadstick recipe)
6 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1 1/2 cups grated jalapeño monterey jack cheese -- (used mexiblend, cheddar)

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
    Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
    In a small bowl, combine the jalapeños and shallot with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil.
    Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with semolina or cornmeal, roll out the pizza dough into a 10-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
    Spread the cream cheese evenly over the top, leaving a 1-inch border.
    Top with jalapeño monterey jack, jalapenos, shallots and bacon.
    Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top.
    Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time! ************************* Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon & Cheddar Omelette Bites Print With Image Without Image Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal Ingredients 4 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 3T shredded cheddar cheese 1 slice cooked ba

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Lemon Chicken Rice Soup

I've been making this Lemon Chicken Rice Soup for over a decade and we love it now as much as we did the first time I made it. It's a "semi-homemade" recipe that comes together quickly but tastes like you spent all day on it. I start with chicken breast tenderloins chopped into bite sized pieces. You can use any cut you want, you just want about 1 1/2 pounds. I cook the chicken with a little olive oil and fresh cracked black pepper in a dutch oven until the chicken is no longer pink. Next up is carrots. You can use thinly sliced carrots but I like to run mine over the Microplane. They get distributed so much more evenly that way. I then add a 32oz low sodium chicken broth and cream of chicken soup and stir well. I've admitted in the past, I cannot cook rice, so the Ben's Ready Rice are one of my culinary best friends. I love the Roast Chicken flavor for this! I microwave them for about 60 seconds before adding them into the pot. Obviously the key to thi
