Pass the Potatoes, Please

Orange and Oatmeal Breakfast Pie

3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 TBSP butter, melted
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine eggs, milk, orange juice, oats, brown sugar, butter and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie shell, unbaked.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown and set or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Let stand for about 10 minutes before cutting.

**Pandora's Variation** I make the pie shell the night before and refrigerate overnight. When I would make this for my family, I would triple the recipe and use two 10-inch pie shells. We usually never had leftovers but any leftover pie is also great tasting when chilled. I also use orange juice with pulp.

Breakfast Pizza

One box Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix
4 eggs
1/4 cup of milk
12 ounces shredded swiss cheese

Any or all of the following:
Cooked Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, crumbled
Cooked bacon, crumbled
Diced cooked ham

Prepare the hot roll mix according to the package directions. Press dough onto the bottom and sides of a greased 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking dish. Allow dough to rise for 20 to 30 minutes.

Sprinkle any combination of the toppings over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the top. Mix together the eggs and milk, beat with an egg beater or whisk until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture on top of the cheese layer. Bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until crust is brown. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes for the egg mixture to set up.

**Pandora's variation** I use the hot roll mix because I hate to make dough but any bread dough recipe will work. Some recipes call for frozen bread dough but I have never tried that. I usually make the dough the night before and let it set, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. Then I bring the dough to room temperature before I put the rest of the toppings on.
