Breakfast Pinwheels

Last week I was at Great Harvest and I saw this beautiful, delicious sunrise roll type of breakfast roll. It was amazing!!! Since then, I have looked around P-Town and have not found anything else that looked as appetizing. I have been having non-stop cravings for these things and had to figure out how to make something similar…AND I DID!
Go to your local grocery store or look in your refrigerator and I am sure you will have most of these ingredients. Here is the list that I used, but as any good cook who cooks from the "hip" would do, change it up to make it your own.
Pizza Dough (Safeway has pre-made dough that is ready to go in their deli section).
Chopped Ham (I used leftovers from Christmas, but don't worry I froze it right away).
Shredded Cheese
A bag of Shredded Hash browns(cooked with the onion)
A small diced onion (cook with the hash browns)
Half a green pepper
2 Eggs scrambled

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Fry up the hash browns and the onion, add some salt or pepper to taste. Then, roll out your pizza dough as thin as you can without making it tear. Spread a thin layer of cooked hash browns, sprinkle with a layer of ham, then cheese, then green peppers or any other veggie that sounds good to you. Roll the dough up into a big jelly roll type shape. Next, you need to take a knife and slice it into pinwheels. My kids thought I was making cinnamon rolls with meat in them, lol. Now, take the rest of the hash browns and spread them in a baking dish, both 8x8' or 9x11" will work. The only difference will be if your rolls touch or not. I actually made a double batch and used the big pan and they all touched. After your spread the hash browns in the dish, place the pinwheels in the dish on top of the hash browns. I added swirl of hot sauce to each pinwheel for a little flair. Lastly, I poured the egg mixture over the top of the pinwheels and baked for 25 minutes.
Goodness, gracious these things were awesome. A batch will make 6-8 pinwheels depending on how much dough you have.Have fun with this breakfast. It's one of those recipes that you can use whatever you have. I bet bacon or sausage would be good, or pretty much any veggie. Have fun making this recipe your own, something so simple, yet with so many flavor elements going on. Happy New Year!
