Apple Breakfast Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles, and cook according to package directions. Strain into a colander, and toss with oil. Drape the noodles over and around the side of the colander to cool.
• Process the cream cheese, ricotta, eggs, egg yolk and granulated sugar in a food processor until combined and smooth.
• Microwave the preserves, butter and lemon juice in a microwavable medium bowl until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Stir to combine.
• Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with melted butter. Spread 3 tablespoons of the preserves mixture over the bottom. Arrange 4 slightly overlapping noodles to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread 1/3 of the remaining preserves mixture over the noodles. Top with 1/2 the ricotta mixture. Scatter 1/2 the apricots and apple rings over the ricotta, then dust the entire layer with 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Repeat with another layer of 4 noodles, 1/2 the remaining preserves mixture and the remaining ricotta mixture, apricots and apple rings and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Finish with the remaining 4 noodles, and spread with the remaining preserves mixture. Cover the top with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Meanwhile, swirl the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until browned and toasted in spots.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish, and cover with foil. Bake until the lasagna is very hot and the layers are set, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for 10 minutes more. Top with the toasted almonds, and dust with confectioners' sugar. Let sit 10 minutes before cutting and serving. The lasagna can also be eaten at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the crepes: In a medium, bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, cumin, salt, coriander and pepper. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter coats the bottom of the pan. Cook until the underside edges begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Using a heat-proof silicone spatula, flip the crepe and continue to cook on the other side until golden, 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to make a total of 8 crepes.
• For the custard: In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-high heat until crispy, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and drain on paper towels. In a medium bowl beat the eggs and milk together until smooth. Add the tomatoes, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, mix the Cheddar and fontina together.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• To assemble the lasagna, ladle 1 cup of the custard into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange two crepes, side-by-side on top. Sprinkle one-quarter of the cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle one-quarter of the pancetta over the cheese. Repeat the layers using the remaining crepes, custard, cheese and pancetta. Pour any remaining custard over the lasagna and bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• To make the crepes, whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, oil, almond extract, and sugar in a bowl until you have a smooth batter. Lightly grease a small skillet and place over medium heat. Spoon in 2 tablespoons of batter and gently tilt the skillet to spread the batter to the edges of the pan. Cook until brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until brown. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter until it is all used.
• To make the filling, whisk together the pudding mix, orange juice, and sour cream in a bowl. Gently fold the strawberries, bananas and blueberries into the sour cream mixture.
• Lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish with 1/3 of the crepes. Spoon 1/2 of the fruit mixture over the crepes. Repeat with remaining fruit and crepes, finishing with the crepes as the top layer. Garnish with whipped cream. Allow to sit 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil; set aside.

• Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet to melt, then stir in the flour until completely combined. Stir in chicken stock and milk, increase heat to bring to a boil, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring often, to scramble. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place 4 lasagna noodles over the bottom of the pan, then top with half of the eggs, half of the spinach, 1/3 of the sausage gravy, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/3 of the hashbrowns. Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining eggs, remaining spinach, sausage gravy, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella.
