Puff puff Pass(try) Part II -Pizza Roll

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

While thinking of what to make for dinner, My Fair Lady suggested we make pizza rolls. That’s right, Pizza Rolls! Puff pastry dough is such a versatile ingredient and tastes so good. Since puff pastry sheets come two to a package we made two different style pizzas- spinach and garlic, and Feef (Imitation ground beef).

Here’s how it was done:

Ingredients:

• Puff pastry sheets -defrosted according to instructions on the box
• Tomato sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Fresh spinach
• Feef (imitation ground beef)
• Chopped garlic
• salt
• pepper
• Basil
• Olive oil for frying
• Egg for eggwash

Spinach filling:

Sautee some garlic, add your spinach and cook down (spinach will cook down a lot) add salt and pepper – set aside

Feef filling:

Sautee some garlic, add feef (if it’s sticking together you  might consider rough chopping before throwing in the pan) add salt and pepper, add water to hydrate, and cook on medium heat till meat gets plump and juicy -set aside

Assembly:

Pre heat your oven to 425 degrees F and get your puff pastry ready to roll. Both rolls are layered the same way: cover the pastry dough with sauce and sprinkle with basil, cover with a layer of cheese, layer your filling, add another thin layer of cheese, roll (keep in mind not to roll too tightly). Place rolls onto a greased sheet tray. Scramble your egg and brush it over your rolls. Bake for 15-20 minutes (until golden brown).

Serve, and enjoy!

Note: if you are planning to re heat, the rolls cut easier when they are cool so cut before re heating

Breakfast with that guy- breakfast tortillas

Love me some eggs!

Lines like a boss

Yeahhhhhh Boooiiiiii!

So that guy was feeling kinda hungry this morning and decided to whip up something delicious. These are some tortillas filled with scrambled eggs. I decided to throw in some chives and garlic. I also, usually, toss in some home fries as well (or pan fried potatoes. Can’t go wrong with potatoes). The eggs were rolled with mozzarella/cheddar cheese mix and grilled on a panini press until it was screaming deliciousness.

Seriously, I already ate them in half the time to took to write this.

That guy out.
