I said yesterday that I would try to post a photo and the recipe of what i came up with for a breakfast lasagna. The above picture is the final product.

I looked at several recipes online, but all of them were basically meat and egg dishes, and while I like meat and eggs, a meat and egg dish misses the vegetarian portion of my church family. I spent six months as a vegetarian and understand that most people do not think about vegetarians when they are making food to share, so I try to remember them whenever I cook either by making my main dish a vegetarian dish or by making a side that can be a main dish for the vegetarians in the group. Today I went vegetarian. (Please note I did not go Vegan. The vegetarians in our church eat dairy and eggs and so the recipe includes both.)

I wanted the recipe to actually reflect the things I think of when I eat lasagna: noodles, sauce, cheese filling, and either meat or vegetables layered. I made noodles out of crepes; the sauce was a mixed berry puree; I used fruit in the layers; and for the cheese filling i made a cream cheese and cool whip frosting.

So, on to the recipe:

The noodles:
I used simple crepes for the noodles. The recipe came from allrecipes.com. Here’s the link:Crepes

1 cup of milk
1 cup of AP flour
1 egg
a pinch of salt

Sauce:
I made a mixed berry puree with frozen fruit, apple juice and honey.

1 bag of frozen mixed berries
1 cup Apple juice
2 table spoons of honey

put fruit and 1/2 the juice in a blender and puree (if to thick, add more juice until loose enough to puree.)
taste and add honey to taste

Filling:
I simply sliced strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, but use whatever fruits you prefer.

Cheese Filling:
I made a cream cheese frosting and piped on each layer

2 pkgs of Cream Cheese, softened
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 a tub of cool whip
vanilla to taste (I used about a tsp)

cream the cream cheese and butter
mix with vanilla
add cool whip and whip together

Construction:
In a 9×13 pan, layer noodles, sauce, fruit and frosting dusting the fruit with powdered sugar if the fruit is very tart. Decorate with fruit on the top layer. (I also considered grating white chocolate on top to make it look like grated mozzerella.)

If you try it out let me know the result.
