Open Face Sausage/Bruschetta/Carmelized Onion Sandwiches and Roasted Garlic Cabbage

CRISPY CABBAGE
1 medium head cabbage, about 27 ounces before trimming
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Salt and pepper

Cut the cabbage into 1-inch wedges making sure to keep the core intact on every wedge. See the photo below. You may lose a few of the lose outer leaves that aren't attached to the core. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the wedges over and do the same on the other side. Roast at 450º until the cabbage is browned around the edges, about 20-25 minutes.

Makes 6 servings    (A FEW MINUTES BEFORE COOKING WAS COMPLETED, I sprayed on some garlic juice)     THiS IS DELICIOUS!!!!

OPEN FACE SAUSAGE/BRUSCHETTA/CARMELIZED ONION SANDWICHEs

I sliced one onion and carmelized the slices in some butter in a frying pan, removed to a bowl and then cooked the sausage patties in the same pan (no need to use oil or butter)

When the patties were cooked through, I put some of the onions on top of each one, and then a heaping spoonful of TRADER GOPTTO'S BRUSCHETTA, pressed the onions and Bruschetta down with a spatula and put a cover on the pan for a minute or two so they would warm up.

I cut a fotis roll in half and spread with butter and then put on some garlic salt and put under the broiler for a VERY short time, just until the edges started to brown (so it was still soft)  Put the patty on  top of the roll and served it to myself!!!

VERY GOOD

Egg, Cheese and Potato Casserole

Lunch time rolled around and I had NO idea what to prepare.  I looked in my frig and freezer and pulled out a few items and decided to create a casserole.

Into a large mixing bowl I put these items

five eggs
about a cup and a half of frozen and  thawed hash browns (from a bag)
some croutons
some real bacon bits
some chopped fresh vegetables (brocolli, summer squash, cherry tomatoes and red pepper)
some garlic pepper
one packet of Sazon Goya
some milk

Stirred together and poured into greased 8 inch square casserole dish.
Baked at 350 for 40-45 minutes until the center was set.

Served with lite breakfast sausage and applesauce.  It was a very good lunch.  Next time I would
add more vegetables (maybe canned corn or peas) and a bit more milk and maybe some more seasonings (like some garlic).  Soaking the croutons in milk ahead of time might be helpful, also, or fresh bread cubed could be used instead of the croutons.
