Pizza dough but too lazy to buy pizza sauce instead of marinara? Calzone.
trader joe's prewashed southern greens bag
shredded mozarella
home made pizza dough (see reasons why I shouldn't bake pizza when scatter brained)
marinara sauce
chicken
whiskey (shut up, it's delicious cooked with meat)
all purpose seasoning (salt free, but B - you go ahead and salt that shit up)
Roll out dough, slather some marinara and THIN layer of mozzarella. Don't roll it out too thin. Otherwise you get the gushy open sore looking thing that was attempt 2 for future lunches.
Cooked up the greens separately - we'll call it al dente. I like crisp greens in general, and I don't want to have to worry about them turning bitter as they possibly continue to cook in the oven. Used some lemon juice to help steam and cook veggies.
dump veggies on dough.
Chicken + all purpose seasoning. After flip add just a little whiskey to help steam it.
Dump. roll up, bake 350 until prodding it enough convinces you the dough is cooked (20 min? I didn't really pay attention).
Round 1- made extra effort to roll and pinch up sides the traditional calzone style. Result? bueno.
Round 2- a couple of hours later and much lazier... I tried to wrap it like an envelope and pinch it in the middle at the top. Mostly because as I was dumping things on top I just carelessly dumped it in the middle instead of to the side. I'm sure it'll taste exactly the same, it's just ugly.
Next - fresh herbs going bad, carton of egg whites that's been opened and not used in a while, and a lonely vine tomato. OMELET - caprese! Remember mozzarella? well there's always left overs.
I've learned (and re-learned through the years) the key to omelets is low temp, patience, and a good nose (to smell when it's time to check in on eggs). Or you can scramble. omelet is easier to reheat and keep flavor I think.
while side 1 of omelet is cooking, throw in some fresh cracked pepper.
no cook basil or tomato. just throw in long enough for cheese to melt when you flip the egg white. I don't completely flip it. just fold the uncooked part halfway over the other uncooked part.
makes 2 breakfasts of yum- but only if you plan to reheat. If you're eating right away then it's back to being patient and walking away. I usually don't have the patience for that step though.
no pics. lazy, remember?
