Sunday morning oven pancake

This is an awesome brunch dish or lunch dish that's meant to serve 4 but, I tell you it's so filling I cut the other quarters in half. I really had fun making this pancake.

No more dilly dallying lets get to it but, before I do its only right to give credit where its due, this recipe is my tweaked version of Land O'Lakes 'Sundown oven pancake'...
now let's begin...
The SHELL ingredients:

~ 1 TBSP butter
~1/2 cup flour (all purpose)
~1/2 cup half &_ half
~ 2 eggs, lightly beaten
~ 1/4 tsp. salt
~ a dash of garlic powder

The TOPPING ingredients:

~ 1TBSP coconut oil (more if needed)
~ 2 cups broccoli florets
~ 1cup red onion, cut @ 1" pcs
~ 1 medium red bellpepper cut @ 1" pcs
~ 1 medium green bellpepper cut @ 1" pcs
~ 1medium Roma tomato cut @ 1" pcs
~ 1/2 tsp. salt
~ 1/2 fresh cracked black pepper
~ garlic powder *to taste
~ 1 1/4 cup pizza blend cheese
~ 1/4 cup mild cheese **a sharp cheese was suggested by my friends

∆∆∆

• heat  Oven at 425°, In a 9" pie pan melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in the oven give or take 2 to 3 minutes remove from oven. 

•In a medium bow stir together the flour, milk, eggs, 1/4 tsp. salt, and garlic powder 

• pour this mixture into the pan of melted butter and bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden brown remove from oven set aside


Meanwhile...
•  In a medium skillet melt your coconut oil over medium heat add the bellpepper, red onions, broccoli florets, salt, and garlic powder *to taste and cook for 12 to 15 minutes stirring frequently ***Do not add your tomatoes at this point add them in the last 5 minutes of your cooking time...
Now...
• take the shell and spread 3/4 of the pizza cheese and 1/2 of the cheddar cheese on the bottom on the shell
...• top the cheese with the cooked veggies 
• then top the veggies with the remaining cheese (add more if needed)
Then...
• return to oven and bake for an additional 5 - 7 minutes or until your desired color, remove from oven let rest *** pie will deflat a bit
• cut into 4 pieces ** I suggest 8 slices and 
ENJOY!!!

paprika for garnish 
1 cup low-fat Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
6 oz. shredded or sliced Provolone cheese
***Grease a 8x8 pan (I used a glass Pyrex) with coconut oil my favorite because it adds that extra flavor, or spray pan with butter flavor cooking spray
 1) over medium heat melt 1/2 TBSP butter and sauté mushrooms until done but not over cooked set aside. In same skillet add remaining butter sauté broccoli, peppers, and onions until tender, remove from heat set aside
2) in a mixing bowl beat together eggs, cream, water, oregano, and garlic powder until foamy
3) add to the egg mixture: cheese, bacon, and veggies mix well together
4) pour into ready greased pan, sprinkle with green onion tops and paprika, bake at 350 F for about 25 - 30 minutes, check at 25 minutes if knife inserted in the middle comes out clean
5) allow to cool, this dish serves from 4-6 servings
