Then for the filling:

1/2 homemade bread crumbs
seasonings
fresh parmesean cheese
put all that in the pan then add:
2 eggs beaten, 2 Tbsp flour and 1 1/4 C milk mixed well. Just pour over evertthing
Bake at 350 for 45-60 min
so yummy!!!!
you can add any vegetable or meat you want

Aebleskiever
Have you ever tried an Aebleskiever? They are soo yummy!!
First you need the pan. I got this one HERE
Then you can use ANY pancake mix you just omit the egg in it and use 3 egg white beaten stiff.
These ones I used a corn cake mix (from prepared pantry but you could make your own which I will be doing since the kids scarf these down)
and I added some chopped up bacon and some shredded cheese in the middle.
we also used pork sausage and they were just as good!!


Cheerio Bars
Add 1/2 Cube of butter and 1 bag mini marshamallows to bowl
Microwave until looks like this about 2 min
Add 1/2 C. creamy peanut butter and mix well
Add 7 C Cheerios
1 C. m&m's
Press into 9x13 greased pan
(it works easier if you have a plastic baggie on your hand that is sprayed)
press down evenly
Let cool. I put in fridge about 1 hour and slice up and enjoy!!!

Homemade Breadcrumbs
Anyone else obsessed with Kitchen BOss??? I LOVE IT!! anyways thats where I got this recipe. I did kinda do my own thing with it. I just used whatever bread I had and I used fresh grated mozzarella and romano cheese. It still turned out great. I just keep it in the fridge and use whenever i need it.
INGREDIENTS
1 | pound loaf rustic Italian bread such as Pugliese |
1 | cup finely grated pecorino cheese |
2 | garlic cloves put through a garlic press |
2 | tablespoons dried Italian herbs |
3 | tablespoons dried parsley flakes |
1/2 | tablespoon fine sea salt |
PREPARATION:
- The day before you plan to make breadcrumbs: Slice the bread into ½ inch slices. Place slices on cake racks to dry overnight.
- In batches, crumble or tear bread slices into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the bread multiple times until the crumbs are about the size of a dime.
- Add the cheese, garlic, herbs and salt and continue to pulse until the breadcrumbs become fine. Store what you are not using in the freezer or in your refrigerator for 3-4 days.


Pork Cutlets
These are so quick and easy to make.
Take a package of pork cutlets. its one big slab usually. so i just cut them into whatever size i want. Then take 3 bowls.
Put 1 bowl with a 2 egg whites, 2 tsp water and 1 tsp mustard powder
1 bowl with about 1/2 C. flour
1 bowl with 1 C. bread crumbs ( i make my own)
Coat the cutlets in first the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrums. then lay on rack until ready to cook.
Cook in a hot skillet with olive oil. about 3-4 min each side until nice and crispy
And there you have it.! Super yummy. I put a bit of fresh lime juice on mine and it was really good.
