Air Fryer eggs in the hole

Preheat ninja flip to 350°F
2 eggs
2 slices bread
Butter flavored cooking spray
S&P
Cook 8 minutes

Press down the center of the bread leaving an indentation large enough to accommodate an egg or if you prefer, cut a hole into the center of the bread.
Lay the bread onto a baking tray covered in parchment and sprayed with butter cooking spray 
I happen to have a baking tray that perfectly accomodations 2 slices of bread side by side. 
Crack an egg into the indentation or hole of each slice of bread.
Carefully slide into the oven on the wire rack.
Set timer for 8 minutes.
This cooks my eggs the way I like them, runny inside but white covering the yolk.
Cook a little longer if you want a harder yolk.
I generally salt and pepper my eggs after they are done. I think salt makes the egg whites rubbery if they are salted before cooking, but you do you. 
Remove from oven and enjoy your breakfast.

Microwave Breakfast Sandwhich

I don't know if one piece of bread is still considered a sandwich, but that's the way I like my breakfast sandwich.  If you like two pieces of bread or muffins, than do that.
You'll be enjoying your breakfast within 5 minutes from start to finish.

Makes 2

Ingredients:
2 pieces of bread
2 slices of cheese
2 slices of precooked bacon cut in half
2 eggs
Butter flavored cooking spray
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:
Spray your egg cookers with cooking spray.
Start your toast.
Crack eggs in the egg cookers and whisk with the tines of a fork or if you want them poached, add a little bit of water to the container (1/2 tsp) and gently poke the yolks.
Cover, place in microwave for about 1 minute, 15 seconds.  If you want poached eggs, cook the eggs for 2 minutes at 50% power.  Your time may vary depending on the power of your microwave.
When eggs are done, take them out of nuker and reheat bacon for about 30 seconds.  This also allows the poached eggs to finish up so keep the eggs covered until the very end.

When toast is done, place a slice of cheese on each slice of toast.
Put two half slices of bacon on each slice of toast.
Salt and pepper your eggs and slip them on top of it all.  (I never salt the eggs until the end.  Salt makes eggs rubbery)

This tastes so much better than an egg McMuffin from McD's IMO, because you control the ingredients.  You get your favorite bacon, and your eggs are real eggs cooked to perfection.
Faster than going through the drive thru too.

Enjoy

Easy Biscuits and Gravy

Easy Biscuits and Gravy

Frozen buttermilk biscuits
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
4 heaping Tablespoons of flour
2 cups milk
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat the oven and bake biscuits according to package directions.  Meanwhile, crumble the sausage into a large deep sided pan and brown over medium heat.
Do not drain off grease.  Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to incorporate, about 1 minute.  Add milk turn up heat to high and stir and scrape the bottom of the pan of the brown bits.  Liquid should thicken as it comes to a boil, season to taste.  Turn down heat to low until biscuits are ready.  Pour sausage gravy over split biscuits.  2 biscuits for each serving is a very generous portion.
Enjoy

Cheesy Microwave Eggs

Cheesy Microwave Eggs

Dead simple. If you like cheese omelets, you'll like this. No pan to wash either! Just a bowl, a spoon and a whisk.

Ingredients:
Cooking Spray
3 eggs or Egg Beaters
A splash of milk
A couple slices of cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste

Spray a microwave safe bowl with cooking spray. Whisk together the eggs and milk with a fork or a whisk. The longer you Whisk, the fluffier the eggs will turn out.
Add the cheese.
Put the egg mixture into the microwave and cook for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The time is going to depend on the power of your microwave and the amount of eggs used. Egg Beaters take less time then whole eggs.
2 minutes and 30 seconds is the magic number for my microwave and 3 lg. eggs. Egg Beater cheezy eggs take about 2 minutes.
You want your eggs almost done at the end of the cooking time. They cook for a little while even after you take them out of the microwave. Do not overcook! Nothing worse then dry eggs!
After you remove the eggs from the microwave, stir in seasoning. I do not like to add the salt before cooking because I think they toughen the eggs.
Allow to cool for about a minute because as mentioned, they still cook after removing from microwave.
Mmmm. Cheesy, salty, eggy goodness.
Enjoy!

RR Apple Flapjacks

Rachael Ray's Official Website: "
Ingredients *
6-8 medium size McIntosh apples, peeled, cored and diced *
1 cinnamon stick *
3/4-1 cup apple cider (depending on how thick you want your sauce) *
1-1 1/2 cups dark maple syrup *
12 buckwheat pancakes (made from 1 box of buckwheat pancake mix, prepared according to the package directions) *
Nonstick cooking spray (as needed)

Preparation
Pre-heat oven to 250ºF. In a medium saucepot, add the apples and cinnamon stick and cook over medium to medium-low heat until the apples are tender, about 6-7 minutes. Add the cider to the apples and continue to cook until the apples break down, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the syrup and simmer until a thick, chunky sauce consistency is reached. Turn the heat down to low to keep warm and reserve. While the apples are simmering, prepare the pancakes on a griddle top or in a large nonstick sauté pan, according to package directions. Keep the finished pancakes warm on a sheet tray in the oven as you cook them.

To serve, layer spoonfuls of the applesauce-syrup mixture in between each pancake and on top.
