D'S ELEGANT BACON BITES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Place room temperature cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds to make easier to stir. Mix together all of the ingredients, except the bleu cheese, until smooth. gently fold in the bleu cheese; set aside.
• Trim the crusts from the slices of bread. Use a rolling pin or a heavy bottle to roll over each slice of bread to lightly compact it. Otherwise, the bread may crack and split as you try to roll it. Spread the slices with the filling, covering it completely, trying not to overfill. Roll the bread up from the short side, pressing down just enough to make it stick to itself.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around the roll, overlapping the bacon to cover the bread completely. Trim off any excess bacon once you reach the end. Do not cover the ends of the roll with the bacon.
• Freeze the wrapped rolls for 30 minutes to firm them up. You can freeze these for OAMC (Once A Month Cooking). I have also baked them immediately after rolling them with no problem *as long as the bacon remains cold*.
• To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
• Slice the rolls in thirds and place on the baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (5 minutes longer if baking from frozen), until the bacon is crisp and the tops are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter. The filling is HOT, please allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

TACO BAGEL BITES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Lay bagels on large cookie sheet.
• Combine remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Top each 1/2 of the bagel with about 2-3 tbsp of mixture.
• Flash freeze on cookie sheet for about 3 hours or until topping on bagels is firm.
• Transfer to large freezer bag, label and freeze.
• To serve: Bake from frozen at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese melts.

CANADIAN BACON ONION QUICHE (OAMC)

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, use beaters to cream butter, add cottage cheese and beat with mixer, using spoon gradually stir in flour.
• Form into disk, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour or up to two days. I cut plastic wrap big enough so that I can later roll pastry out on it so clean up is easy.
• Roll out pastry to fit a 9 inch pie plate.
• Transfer pastry to greased pie pan.
• Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
• In skillet, sauté onions in remaining butter (1 1/2 t.) until golden brown. It is important to get the onions done to your preference because the baking steps do not cook it much more than this step does.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Stir in garlic and set aside.
• Put cheese at bottom of pastry, top with Canadian bacon.
• in large bowl, add egg and peppers, lightly beat, stir in onion mixture from skillet.
• Pour into pastry shell.
• At this point, either wrap well and freeze or bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. (After 25 minutes, I peek to see if crust is browned enough and cover just the crust with foil so it is browned just enough. I hate real dark crust. It is not easy to do but worth it IMO.) Let sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
• TO USE FROZEN QUICHE: Remove frozen quiche from freezer 30 minutes before baking. Put rack in middle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pie on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, then cover with foil and move to lowest shelf and bake another 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

• Place top half of bread over cheese. Wrap in foil.
• If serving right away, bake in 350 oven for about 25 minutes.
