BREAKFAST SANDWICH ON AN ENGLISH MUFFIN WITH CHARRED RED ONIONS, HERBS, AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss onion, soy sauce, garlic powder, and 1 Tbsp. oil on a large rimmed baking sheet to coat. Season with salt. Bake, tossing once halfway through, until onion is browned around the edges and very tender, 25-35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss herbs, hot sauce, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl. Season with salt, if needed.
• Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs; season with salt. Cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until eggs have set into creamy folds, 1-2 minutes.
• Spread herb sauce on cut sides of muffins. Transfer bottom halves to a rimmed baking sheet. Top with eggs, then lay cheese over. Bake bottom halves just until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Top with onion and close with muffin tops.
• Do Ahead: Onion can be cooked 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. To make a sandwich quickly without turning your oven on, fold the cheese into the eggs when they have just begun to set, top with onion (no need to rewarm), and assemble with toasted English muffins.

GRILLED CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 and prepare your muffin tins (spray or liners).
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• add Parmesean and 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine egg and sugar, then whisk in the oil and Orange Puree (carrots and sweet potatoes).
• Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until flour is just moistened. As with all muffins, don't over mix or your muffins will be tough and over-dense.
• Scoop the batter into muffin tins, filling just over the top. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Ideally, serve muffins warm.

ENGLISH MUFFIN TOASTING BREAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer. Combine the milk, water, and oil in a separate, microwave-safe bowl, and heat to between 120°F and 130°F. Be sure to stir the liquid well before measuring its temperature; you want an accurate reading. If you don't have a thermometer, the liquid will feel quite hot (hotter than lukewarm), but not so hot that it would be uncomfortable as bath water.
• Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Using an electric beater, or stand mixer with beater attachment, beat at high speed for 1 minute; the dough will be smooth and very soft. If you don't have a stand or electric hand mixer, beat by hand for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and starting to become elastic.
• Lightly grease an 8½×4½-inch loaf pan, and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal. Scoop the soft dough into the pan, leveling it in the pan as much as possible.
• Cover the pan, and let the dough rise until it's just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. When you look at the rim of the pan from eye level, you should see the dough, but it shouldn't be more than, say, ¼-inch over the rim. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, if you heated the liquid to the correct temperature and your kitchen isn't very cold. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Remove the cover, and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, until it's golden brown and its interior temperature is 190°F.
• Remove the bread from the oven, and after 5 minutes, turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool. Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

• Lay wedges on foil-covered cookie sheet and place under broiler. Boil until hot and cheese is melted (approximately 15 mins).
