Ingredients (per breakfast burrito)

• 1 10 inch flour tortilla

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) of Olive oil

• 2 eggs

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) Half & Half

• 1/2 teaspoon (tsp) Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning Blend

• 1/4 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (Monterey Jack and Cheddar)

• 1/4 cup Cherchies Black Bean & Corn Salsa

• 1 small cooked potato, chopped

• 1/4 cup rotisserie or leftover chicken, chopped (optional)

Preparation

Dice the cooked potato.  Here we used a leftover baked potato.  If you don't have leftover potatoes, simply wash and pat dry a small potato and prick the potato a couple of times with a fork.  Wrap the potato in a paper towel and cook in the microwave for a few minutes until the potato is soft to the touch.

In a small bowl, mix the eggs, half & half, and Cherchies® Select Grilling Rub & Seasoning Blend.  Turn on the stove to low heat.  Place a skillet on the stove or cooktop and add the olive oil.  Allow the skillet to heat for a few minutes and add the eggs and potato.  Cook the eggs and potato, stirring occasionally until the eggs are cooked.  (For extra protein, we had leftover chicken and added it to the egg/potato mixture, but this is completely optional).  

Assemble the burrito.  On a tortilla, spread the Cherchies® Black Bean & Corn Salsa down the middle of the tortilla.  Next, add the egg mixture over the salsa, followed by the cheese.

Fold up all sides of the tortilla, beginning with the ends closest to the egg filling.  

Slice the burrito in half and Enjoy!

Ingredients  
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for a gluten free option, simply substitute Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour)
1 10 oz. jar Cherchies® NEW Fig Preserves with Cinnamon (Feel free to substitute any of our preserves in this recipe, our Blackberry Preserves, Cranberry Preserves with Champagne,  Apricot-Pineapple Preserves).

Topping Ingredients  
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup flour (for a gluten free option, simply substitute Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour)
1 teaspoon (tsp) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (tsp) salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 stick of melted butter
Extra coconut for garnishing (optional)

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and gradually add the flour to the butter mixture.  Spread the mixture into a 13 x 9 pan and press down evenly.  Bake for 20 minutes.  

While the crust is cooking, prepare the topping.  In a small bowl (or you can use the same bowl you used to make the bar crust...why dirty more dishes), combine all the ingredients for the topping until crumbly and set aside.

When crust is finished cooking, remove from oven and cool slightly.  Spread Cherchies® Fig Preserves with Cinnamon evenly over the crust.  Sprinkle the topping ingredients over the preserves and return the fig bars to the oven and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until bars are lightly browned.

Sprinkle with more coconut to garnish the bars, but this is completely optional.  It makes it look pretty:) Voila! The perfect easy dessert, snack, or breakfast treat.  Enjoy!

Cranberry Coconut Bars Recipe

Cook Time: 30 minutes  
Difficulty: Easy

Do you love cranberries?  Cranberries are one of our favorites here at Cherchies, and with Christmas around the corner, this easy recipe is the perfect holiday dessert, afternoon snack, or breakfast treat.  

I was inspired by an old recipe I had in my cabinet, and instead of Apricot Preserves as in the original recipe, I added a bit of Cherchies® flair by substituting our Cranberry Preserves for the Apricot and added coconut to the mix. Luckily my hunches were correct as the end result was delicious!

This recipe could easily be made with any of our preserves, our Cranberry Preserves with Champagne, Blackberry Preserves,  Fig Preserves With Cinnamon, or any of our butter spreads, but I was feeling festive and chose Cranberry Preserves:)

So, all you cranberry lovers out there, you need to add this recipe to your Cranberry collection.  You won't be disappointed!  AND, because we love ya, all our cranberry products are on SALE this weekend!
