Breakfast Time!

I was recently asked what is my favourite easy breakfast. I would have to say my Breakfast Cups. Simple and delicious..

I usually make these for brunch on Sunday, but make a ton of them. Whatever is left over, I throw them in the fridge for a quick breakfast on the go. Just pop them in the microwave for a minute or two and you have yourself a yummy and satisfying breakfast or snack. My kids love them too.

Breakfast Cups

Ingredients:

6 slices of stale bread

6 eggs

1 cup milk

1 tbsp chives, chopped

Salt and pepper

1 cup cooked bacon or cooked ham

1 cup cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12-muffin pan, set aside.
2. Cut 12 circles from the bread slices. I used a biscuit cutter.
3. In a bowl, beat 6 eggs, milk, chives, salt and pepper. Dip each bread circle in egg mixture and place in the bottom of each muffin hole, and top with some bacon. Pour remaining egg mixture into each muffin hole, then top with cheese.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until breakfast cups are cooked and tops are lightly brown. Serve hot or room temperature. 

What's your favourite breakfast?

Happy Cooking!! :)

Eggs Benedict

I have been craving a good Eggs Benedict for days now, but last time I made Eggs Benedict it was a disaster. I think I was trying to make breakfast for too many people (6) all at the same time. The eggs were cold, the Hollandaise sauce was lumpy and the toast go rock hard. Just thinking about it gives me the chills. :S

A couple of weeks ago, I found an easy Blender Hollandaise sauce. It's not traditional, but boy was it easy and  super yummy! With this sauce, I can make Hollandaise sauce everyday. Not that I would, very high in cholestrol, but I could. :)

Gluten Free Chocolate Crepe with Mascarpone Cheese Filling

Last night I was having a major craving for Crepes. Mmm...crepes! So I did a quick search on my favourite food porn site: Tastespotting. I can look at food pictures forever! Did you know I kindA like food? LOL! Just kinda! 

Anyway, this awesome picture came up. A RED crepe. Then I read the "Red Velvet Crepe". OMG YUM! I dreamed about these crepes last night. Of course, I had to make crepes today!  :)

Gluten-Free: Made with Corn and Quinoa Flour

Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito

I don't always eat the most nutritious breakfast, but today I was determined to make a fabulous breakfast for my husband. He's been working non-stop for weeks. And on his days off, he'd go help out family members with their computer or technology problems.

While on Facebook a few days ago, I notice a post from Diabetic Living: Our Best Breakfast Recipes. I came across two recipes that really peaked my interests: Eggs Benedict and Knife and Fork Breakfast Burrito.

Today, I made Knife and Fork Breakfast Burrito. My husband doesn't really care for Eggs Benedict. I know right? Who doesn't like Eggs Benedict? 

Pumpkin Caramel Apple French Toast

While on Twitter, I heard of this cute little French Toast Challenge. I happen to LOVE French Toast, actually I love anything to do with breakfast or brunch! This is also my favourite time of year. So why not make a totally yummy French Toast recipe around that. Ever since I saw this challenge, I knew what I was going to make: Pumpkin Caramel Apple French Toast topped off with some Pumpkin Syrup. I was totally drooling at the thought.

Of course I had to challenge myself a little further. I decided to make the syrup and caramel sauce with Coconut Palm Sugar instead of regular sugar, way better for those watching blood sugar. And OH MY GOD! It was so good!!
