I'm no expert, I'm not a trained chef, I just like to get in the kitchen and make up stuff. Mostly I like to start with a good recipe I read somewhere and then change it to match my tastes. I really love feeding other people and hearing thier opinions on what flavors work. This is a blog about my adventures in the kitchen (and at my grill)

Breakfast Bundt!

So I usually start every recipe with some one else's recipe as an inspiration... this time, I don't remember the first time I got the idea for this.  It was simply something I saw and held onto for weeks or months and this morning I decided to give it a go.   - I blame Pinterest.

I had no recipe to begin with so it's pretty much made up of what I had on hand.  A great leftover user upper of a recipe if I ever saw one.

2 crescent dough tubes (especially awesome are the seamless ones)
4 eggs - scrambled with milk and salt and pepper (or however you do them)
5 slices turkey ( or meat of your choice, sliced for sandwiches or diced smallish)
4 oz shredded cheese ( I used Guyere this time)
1 cup sauteed diced onions (and/or, mushrooms, peppers, whatever you like)
* tobasco if you like it

You will need a bundt pan for this!  Also preheat that oven to 350 degrees (or follow directions on your crescent dough packaging)

To assemble...

I opened up one crescent dough on the work surface and situated a layer of the sliced turkey and then all the shredded cheese on top of it.  Then I rolled this up and put it in the bottom of the bundt pan.
I opened up the second dough laid it open and added the cooked scrambled eggs and the onions and followed the same process of rolling it up then placing it on top of the other dough roll in the bundt pan.
I cooked this for about 45 minutes, but since I haven't done a second test yet, you may want to just check on it (even cutting it open) to see that all the dough is cooked through before calling it done!  Also about half way through the dough was about as browned on top as I could stand, so I covered it loosely with foil to prevent further darkening (burning)!

I do recommend you putting your "lighter" of the rolls down first and then the "heavier" on top, because when you flip it those will reverse! I can see in the picture above that my turkey on top is a bit imposing to the scrambled eggs below :)

I'm very happy with this product and will try it again to update the blog with more absolutes as well as to try different combinations. What meat/cheese/veggie combo would you use?  How could you make it a lunch sandwich instead of a breakfast cake?  Let me hear your ideas and experiments!
