Cheese and Egg Breakfast Braid
"I found a recipe in Cooking Light that looked great, but I knew I would want to make some changes (mainly, I wanted to make it veg). Here is the recipe as I intend to make it, posted for safekeeping. Feel free to offer suggestions! I'm also tempted to add more veggies..."

directions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 15 x 10–inch rectangle.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook until tender. Stir in eggs and chiles; cook until set. Remove from heat.
- 4. Sprinkle 1/2 c cheese lengthwise down center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border on each side. Spoon egg mixture evenly over cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheddar over egg mixture.
- 5. Make 2-inch-long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling using a sharp knife or kitchen shears.

I doubled the recipe and made two since this was sent with 8 hungry men for breakfast during their annual man outing to the lake! I made them the night before and froze them. I just had them bake them about 10 minutes longer than instructed. They all loved it and according to DH there was not a bite left! A winner in my book! Made for Veg'n Swap 37! -
Delicious! I don't care for onions so left them out. I made half of the recipe, using a small can of crescent rolls (pinching the seams together to make a sheet of dough). I loved the green chilis in this, added a great flavor. Easy to make and impressive for company - thanks for sharing a great recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011 -
Delicious! I made my own pizza dough as we have a bread machine and it's a cinch! This made a lovely change from my normal bowl of porridge for breakfast! A delicious and filling recipe to start the day off right!

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
