Baked Blueberry Pancakes

Baked Blueberry Pancakes have been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember.  I hope you enjoy this easy recipe.  And while your making these great pancakes you can make some yummy hash browns using THRIVE Potato Dices.

1 1/2 cups THRIVE Blueberries

1/2 cup Water

4 Tbsp. Butter

2 cups THRIVE 10 Grain Pancake Mix

1 1/2 cups water

Lemon Rind (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a small bowl, reconstitute blueberries with 1/2 cup water.  Divide butter into 2 round cake pans and place in oven to melt.  Once butter is melted, remove the pans from the oven and spoon the blueberries into the pans.  Mix the pancake mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and lemon rind together.  Carefully pour or spoon the pancake batter in to the pans, so all the berries don't get pushed to the edges of the pan.  Bake for 11-13 min.  You can check the middle by sticking a toothpick in the middle to see if it comes out clean.  Remove from oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen.  Place a serving plate on top of the pan and then flip it over and remove the pan.  Cut into wedges and serve with Maple Syrup, or even better, with this Blueberry Syrup.

THRIVE Scrambled Eggs

If you haven't tried THRIVE's Scrambled Eggs, you'll want to give these a try.  They make a great addition to your home store.

• THRIVE Scrambled Egg Mix
• Water

Mix 2 parts Eggs to 3 parts Water.  I like to mix it in a blender for a few minutes to incorporate air into the eggs.  I would normally add milk to my scrambled eggs, but I've found that you don't need to with the Scrambled Egg Mix.  As you blend the eggs, spray a pan with cooking oil and heat over medium heat.  When the pan is warm add the eggs and scramble them.  Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

Blueberry Syrup

This is a great syrup that you can use on Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast, Ice Cream, Cheesecake, or anything else you want to smother in Blueberries.

• 2 1/2 Cups THRIVE Blueberries
• 3 Cups Water
• 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
• 3/4 Cup THRIVE Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
• 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Water

Place the blueberries into a 2 quart microwave-safe bowl.  Stir in 3 cups water and let sit for 10 minutes.  Stir in the orange juice, brown sugar, almond extract, and cinnamon.  In a separate small bowl mix the cornstarch with 1 1/2 Tbps water.  Stir into the blueberry mixture until well mixed.  

Microwave the blueberry mixture for 8 minutes stirring occasionally.  Remove from the microwave and let cool on the counter for 30 minutes.  The syrup will thicken as it cools.  Cover and store in the fridge for up to a week. If it is to thick for your liking, add a little water to thin it out.

Makes approximately 3 cups.

Sausage and Egg Casserole

I love breakfast, but my favorite time to eat breakfast food is at dinner time.  Here is one of my favorite Breakfast Casseroles that is so easy to make from your TRHIVE food.

• 1 1/2 Cups THRIVE Sausage Crumbles
• 1/2 Cup THRIVE Green Chili Peppers (optional)
• 7-9 Slices White Bread
• Butter
• 2 Cups grated Monetery Jack Cheese 
• or THRIVE Monterey Jack Cheese (rehydrated)
• 2 Cups grated Cheddar Cheese 
• or THRIVE Cheddar Cheese (rehydrated)
• 2 Cups Milk
• 3/4 Cups Water
• 6 Tbsp THRIVE Whole Egg Powder
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Dry Mustard

In a small bowl add hot water to the Sausage Crumbles until they are covered.  Stir and set aside.  In another small bowl add hot water to the Green Chili Peppers and set aside.

Remove the crust from the bread and butter one side of each slice.  Place the bread, butter side down, in a 9x13 pan.  Make sure the bottom of the pan is covered with no big gaps.

Grate your cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the bread.  Drain any excess waster from the sausage and sprinkle it on top of the cheese.  Then drain any extra water from the green chili peppers and sprinkle on top of the casserole.

Place the milk, water, egg powder, salt, oregano, paprika, pepper, powder, and mustard in a blender and blend well.  Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.  Cover well and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, preheat the over to 350 degrees.  Uncover your casserole and bake for 50-60 minutes.  Make sure the center of your casserole has set.  It will be puffy and the edges should be golden brown.  Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes.  The casserole will settle as it cools.  Cut into squares and serve.
