Breakfast

The most important meal of the day

European Style Crepes

My grandmother taught me that the secret to good crepes is not having a recipe at all. By simply swirling a few ingredients at hand in a hot pan perfection can be achieved. (Of course smothering anything in Nutella can’t be bad.)

  • 1 part dairy ( buttermilk, skim milk, or yogurt)
  • 1 part egg
  • 1 part flour 

Observe pan swirl technique. Its all in the wrist! Just make sure you have the heat cranked up and plenty of butter in the pan. Sprinkle powdered sugar to avoid sticking.

Spinach Goodness

Nothing makes me feel healthier than eating a big handful of fresh spinach. The bonus protein in the milk and eggs doesn’t hurt either. So start by…

  • Scramble 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup of milk
  • Sprinkle a generous handful of the leafy stuff
  • salt, pepper,  parmasean and cover it up to wilt!

Whoever came up with this delivered a little bit of heaven down from the sky. Cutting into buttery golden french toast will reveal the molten strawberry cream center. Breakfast Sex.

For the Filing combine:

  • Cream Cheese
  • Powdered Sugar

Fill white or potato buns and then dip in the classic french toast dunking bath of…

  • 2 eggs 
  • 1/2 cups o milk
  • vanilla extract

Fry in butter till golden brown. Top with powdered sugar and whipped cream.

The Garden

I do try to incorporate and utilize what is grown in my garden for my breakfast endeavors. It is quite gratifying although my dad does most of the work. shhhh don’t tell.

Waffle Sandwich?

So I was excited to try this the other day and it turned out a bit like communism: a good idea in theory but bad in practice. It was like eating 2 table spoons of canola oil. BUT…

If made at home without the grease

Blueberry waffles + Scrambled Egg + Maple sausage = yes.

*stay tuned for blueberry season
