Biscuit wafles stuffed with omelets

Biscuit waffles stuffed with cheesy omelet
What I had:
  • Pillsbury Grands biscuits
  • 9 eggs
  • shredded cheese - I used taco style
  • red onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • paprika
  • garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • butter
What I did:
  • Melted butter on griddle
  • sauteed garlic till entire 3300 square foot house smelled of garlic
  • added onions till soft
  • added crumbled bacon (because I don't need an excuse to bacon)
  • beat eggs with salt, pepper and paprika and added to griddle
  • cooked till it somewhat resembled a large omelet
  • put biscuits on a baking sheet
  • cut them 3/4ths of the way
  • put a piece of omelet inside each biscuit, topped with some cheese and then closed it up
  • placed 4 on each side of my waffle maker (it's 2 sided, we are fancy that way)
  • once they were done, placed them back on the baking sheet, added more cheese (because it's cheese)
  • broiled them in the oven for 5 minutes till cheese was melted and tops were even more brown (because it's cheese and burned cheese is even better)
  • ate them with condiments of choice
 Notes for future: as you can see from the top photo, I totally could have stuffed it more (that's what she said ....)

Jamaican jerk marinade

Look at the beautiful colors!
What I had:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 2 Scotch Bonnet peppers (thanks to a generous friend)
  • handful of grape tomatoes (I used about 8)
  • 1 medium red onion, peeled
  • 4 scallions, with about 4 inches of the greens
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 inch of ginger peeled
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 4 teaspoons whole allspice
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper for taste
When you don't have a glove ...
What I did:
  • Put the first 3 ingredients in a food processor
  • Coarsely chop all fresh ingredients and throw them in (use gloves for the peppers, or improvise with a bag if you forget to buy gloves)
  • Add all spices
  • Grind them together
  • Taste for salt and pepper
Use as salsa, or marinade for chicken in slow cooker.
