Angel Fire Vacation Rentals

Angel Fire, NM Vacation Rentals

February 9, 2019|Angel Fire, NM Lodging

If you are looking for a destination stay, be sure to look for Angel Fire vacation rentals. Many family vacations start with the destination in mind and can overlook the day-to-day details like – a kitchen. Many vacation rental companies have seen folks who travel regularly know how much more a cost effective vacation is to prepare at least breakfast and some dinners at a vacation home or vacation condo. 

Some hotels have a small kitchenette, but often lack things like – clean pots and pans. Plus, after a long day skiing or mountain biking, you’ll want settle in for a homemade dinner and glass of wine. With no one else around, you can focus on the conversation and not the distractions!


Easy, Hearty Breakfast Pie

Fantastic and easy breakfast pie that is very easy to make.

An easy Angel Fire breakfast pie is a great way to get the energy you’ll need for the day! One of the main reasons a vacation rental property is far more attractive than a hotel room is simply – a full kitchen! Whether you are just on a romantic getaway for 2 or organizing a family reunion for 200 – a vacation rental makes life simple!

Calorie counters beware – this is a delicious recipe that is simple to do and serves 16, but can easily be halved or quartered.

Shopping list:

  • 12oz bulk reduced fat breakfast sausage
  • ½ cup onion, chopped (optional)
  • 2 9” pre-made pie shells already in tins
  • 8oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups of milk (whole, 2%, skim – doesn’t really matter)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 375F. Have a sip of your first mimosa of the day. While that is heating, brown the sausage and onions in a skillet and drain (you want a little moisture, but not too much or the pie crust will get soggy). A 2nd sip of mimosa is now in order (duh). Put the two empty pie shells on a cookie sheet and line the bottom of the two pie shells with the cooked sausage and onions. Combine the eggs, cheese, milk, salt and pepper and pour the mixture over the sausage/onions in the two pie shells. By all means – you’ve earned a third mimosa sip. Now the hard part – bake these two breakfast pies in the oven for 30 minutes. The timer should go off by the time you finish your 2nd mimosa.
