3. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, carrot, lemon zest and orange zest. Whisk until well blended using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add cake mix. Mix until well blended, about 1 minute, using Mix 'N Scrpaer. Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly.

Garden Vegetable Omelet in All the Best?You could do this one and just add ham. I made it this weekend - took out the asparagus and dill mix, and added bacon. My family LOVED it! It's on pg. 83 of All the Best.

2 pkg crescent rolls
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 c milk
1 T flour
8 eggs, divded
1 t Pantry All-Purpose Dill Mix
1/4 t salt
1/4 lb fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1" pices
1/2 c diced red bell pepper
1/3 c chopped onion
1 T butter or margarine
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375. In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk cream cheese and milk; add flour and whisk until smooth. Separate 1 egg; reserve egg white. Add the yolk, remaining 7 eggs, dill mix, salt and black pepper to cream cheese mixture; whisk until smooth. Add asparagus, bell pepper and onion to batter bowl; mix well.

2. Melt butter in Family (12-in) Skillet over med heat. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, 4-6 min until eggs are set but still moist. Remove pan from heat.

Molly JoHere you go! It was in the More Stoneware Sensations Cookbook

Ham 'N Eggs Brunch Braid
(More Stoneware Sensations Cookbook...pg 28)

4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
8 eggs, divided
1/4 tsp salt
Dash ground black pepper
1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
2 Tbls sliced green onions with tops
1 tsp butter or margarine

1/4 lb thinly sliced deli ham
2 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place cream cheese and milk in Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute. Whisk until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Separate 1 egg using Egg Separator; reserve egg white. Add the yolk and remaining 7 eggs, salt and black pepper to Batter Bowl; whisk to combine. Chop bell pepper using Food Chopper. Add bell pepper and onions to egg mixture. Melt butter in Generation II 10 inch Frying Pan over medium low heat. Add egg mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set but still moist. Remove pan from heat. Unroll 1 package of crescent dough; do not separate. Arrange longest side of dough across width of Rectangle Baking Stone. Repeat with remaining package of dough. Using Baker's Roller, roll dough to seal perforations. On longest sides of Baking Stone, cut dough into strips

Shred cheddar cheese over eggs using Deluxe Cheese Grater. To braid, lift strips of dough across filling to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form a braid.

Braid questionIs there any reason why you couldn't use, say, the pizza or french bread dough for the braids? It is already in a large rectangle shape and can fit very well on the rectangular baking stone.

I have never made a braid, so I don't know if it would work to use the bread dough instead.

Love,
Rachel
