Steak-n-Cheese Scramble

So, I had made some flat iron steaks on the barbeque last night. I had leftovers, so I thought this would be great with eggs. This recipe serves 2.

3 eggs beaten w/ a splash of milk
a couple of snips of green onions/scallions
2-3 oz. leftover cooked flat iron steaks, cut into bites
1 slice American cheese
1 slice Swiss cheese (or whatever cheeses YOU like)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Spray wells (top and bottom) with Pam/cooking spray. Divide egg mixture between the 2 wells. Do NOT overfill. Add steak & onions. Cook 2-3 min. until bottom sets. Flip as best you can. It will break apart, but that's okay. This is a scramble, not an omelete. Cook another 2-3 min. (turning once or twice). Top with cheese, but don't close the lid! When cheese is melted to your liking, serve.

I served mine in the photo with a dark wheat bread with butter. I also served a few drops of hot sauce on my scramble. Yum!

Broccoli Havarti Cheese Omelete

1 egg, beaten with a tablespoon of water or milk
leftover cooked broccoli (about 2 spoonfuls)
1 oz. Havarti Dill cheese, cut into little chunks or crumbles (or any cheese you like)


Spray one well with cooking spray. Add broccoli just to heat through. Add cheese chunks. Pour in egg. Cook 3-5 min. depending how well done you like your omelete. (see photo)

Beef Empanadas

1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, cut in half (makes 2 empanadas)
1 cup cooked ground beef (season with chili powder or some Taco Bell seasoning & some diced onions & S&P)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
jarred chopped jalapenos or canned green chiles ( a sprinkle per empanada)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Re-heat or cook your beef. You will have two half moon shapes of crust. Divide your jalapenos or chiles, cheese, & beef onto each crust, but pile it all on one half on each half moon. Pull the crust on top over the filling side & crimp edges with a fork or by tucking and folding edges. Poke the top of each pastry once with a fork to vent. Spray wells with Pam or cooking spray. Cook 15 min., flip over (carefully) and cook another 5 min. Serve with salsa or taco sauce & sour cream, if desired.

Wake Me Up Breakfast Burrito

1 -8"round tortilla
just a smear of chile garlic sauce (with the green lid in the Asian section)
a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese
3 leftover tator tots
2 Oscar Mayer pre-cooked bacon strips, torn in half
1 egg
a splash of milk
S&P, to taste

Preheat your GT Xpress. Beat egg, milk, S&P. Spray 1 well with Pam. Pour egg into one well. Cook 2 min., flip, cook another 2 min. Meanwhile microwave tortilla for 15 sec. to get it workable. Spread chile sauce all over the tortilla. I only used 1/8 tbsp. because a little goes a long way. Top with cheese, tator tots, and bacon. When egg is done put on top. Tuck in sides and roll into a burrito. Place into one well. Cook 2 more min. just to lightly crisp the tortilla.

Chicken & Bean Burrito

1 soft taco / flour tortilla
2 tbsp refried beans
1 tbsp salsa
1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp black olives, chopped
a sprinkle of chopped jarred jalapeno or chopped green chiles
1 tbsp cheeze wiz
a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onion/scallion
a handful of white meat chicken (from a roaster chicken or rotisseree chicken)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Microwave tortilla for 15 sec. so it is easier to roll. Assemble burrito. Tuck in sides and roll up carefully. Put into well. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty. Top with a dollop of sour cream & more salsa.

Chicken & Cheese Melt

This is great for leftover chicken cutlets!

1 leftover chicken cutlet
2 slices American Cheese
1 Flax wheat rollup
1 tbsp. Russian dressing

Preheat GT Xpress. Combine all ingredients into a soft rollup or wrap. Tuck in sides. Rollup & fil into one well. Cook about 5 min. until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through. (see photo)

Tuna Bacon Melt

1 can of tuna, drained and prepared with mayo for tuna salad
1 slice American cheese
2 slices Pre-cooked Bacon
2 (1" thick) slices of loaf bread, toasted

Assemble your sandwich, cut in half, and place one half in each well. Cook 3-5 min., just until cheese melts. (see photo)

Hot Pastrami Swiss Melt (Reuben's Brother)

1 Flax Rollup (or wrap of your choice)
2 slices swiss cheese
1 tbsp. Russian dressing
2 tbsp. coleslaw
2 oz. deli pastrami

Preheat your GT Xpress. Place all ingredients onto the wrap, fold in sides and roll burrito style. Cook 5-7 min. (see photo)

Egg McMuffin My Way

1 english muffin, fork split
1 egg
1 slice pre-cooked bacon
1 slice American cheese

Preheat your GT Xpress. I like to toast my english muffin in my toaster first & butter it. Beat egg with a fork. Spray well with cooking spray. Pour egg into well. Cook 2 min. Flip over & place bacon on top. Cook 1 more min. While waiting for egg to cook, place your cheese on the bottom half of your muffin. Place egg on top, and I fold the egg to double stack it as I place it on the muffin bottom. It makes a fatter sandwich. If you want, you can put the top of your muffin on and place it back into the well & cook 1 min. (it will crisp & heat your muffin through). (see photo)

Tuna Melt Rollup

1 Flax Rollup
Prepared Tuna salad with mayonnaise
1 thin slice of deli swiss cheese (or half if it's thick)
1 thin slice of American cheese

Preheat your GT Xpress. Prepare your tuna salad with mayo to your liking. I like to add onion and celery, onion and garlic powder, & black pepper to mine. Place cheeses on rollup, so that they almost cover the entire rollup. Spread on the tuna salad. Tuck in sides and roll up & place into well. Cook 5-6 minutes. (see photo)
