Savory Breakfast Bread-Easy Like Sunday Morning, On Saturday!

Ahh...Saturday Morning. The one day of the week we don't have anywhere to be (most of the time). I love sleeping in until whenever I like 6:30AM.
This morning I crept around the kitchen with a box of baking mix in hand trying to think up a delicious alternative to our usual Eggs with cheese and Sausage breakfast. I don't know what came over me, but I wanted to make something yum for the family this morning.
I came up with something easy and delish! I'll call it...Savory Breakfast Bread. Served with eggs, it made the perfect Saturday morning breakfast.
This bread is savory and wonderfully moist. There is no need for buttering this bread! The recipe is easy and quick to prep.

Savory Breakfast Bread

Ingredients:

2 cups baking mix
2/3 cups almond milk (or regular milk)
2 tablespoons melted butter (or margarine)
1 Sausage Link (bratwurst size), I used Trader Joe's Sweet Basil Pesto Smoked Chicken and Turkey Sausage
3 Premade Meatballs, I used Aidells Italian Style with Mozzarella Cheese Chicken Meatballs
1 Generous handful shredded cheese
1 palm-full Shaved Parmesan Cheese
1/3 Cup Chopped Green Onion

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 450.
Mix together baking mix, milk, and butter. Set aside.
Cut sausage link in half, lengthwise. Then each half in half, lengthwise again. Then cut into pieces.
Cut Meatball into quarters.
Add meat, cheeses and onion to batter and stir until well blended.
Pour mixture into a silicone (I love these because I don't need extra fat to grease the pan with) bread pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until sharp knife comes out "clean" (the cheese will leave some residue on knife, but the batter shouldn't be seen).
Slice and Enjoy with eggs, if desired.

Turkey Bacon, Leek and Asparagus Frittata

Losing weight, for some, often includes eating the same thing... day after day. Not because these folks aren't craving yumminess and something different. But, because sometimes people just stick with what they know. It's like, "I know Grilled Chicken Salad with Low Fat Ranch is X calories so I'll just eat that all the time."
Well, I'm here to help! Take my snack today, for example. It was so delish and full of flavor. Low Calories, High Protein...you're going to love this!

By the way, I am down 15 pounds in 26 days.


Turkey Bacon, Leek and Asparagus Frittata

Ingredients:

2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chopped Leek
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp No Salt Seasoning, original
4 slices Turkey Bacon, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup blanched Asparagus Tips
1/2 cup Egg Whites

Directions:

Heat oil to medium high in a small, non stick skillet. Add leeks and cook for about 4 minutes. Sprinkle on Italian seasoning and no salt seasoning. Stir and spread out evenly. Spread turkey bacon evenly over leeks. Pour egg whites over leeks and meat. Do not stir. Loosely cover and cook for about 3 minutes. Add asparagus over egg mixture, and allow to cook for 1 minute. Flip frittata over and allow to cook an additional 2 minutes.

Enjoy!
