Breakfast Idea – Mar 6 -12th 2016 Dutch Babies Return

Hello Everyone,

It’s time to bring back Dutch Babies! It was hard because they are called a lot of different things in Europe but they are really good and A Beautiful Mess had a great recipe!

I would like to share their recipe with you…

Dutch Babies

If you’ve never tried a dutch baby before here are three reasons why you should soon:

1. They are delicious. Think if a pancake and crepe had a child.

2. They’re called Dutch Babies. That’s adorable. Duh.

3. They are super easy to make. It’s kind of a baked pancake. No flipping required.I’ve been making these for a while now. I originally learned from this recipe and this lovely blog. Here’s what I do.

Dutch Babies, makes two (very filling) servings.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup flour

2/3 cup milk

and 2 tablespoons butter for the pans

Directions:

1).Preheat your oven to 350 F. Place a tablespoon of butter into two small cast iron skillets (or other oven safe pans) and place them in the oven while it heats up, melting the butter.

2) In a bowl combine the eggs and milk, whisk to combine.

3) Add in the other ingredients and stir until no lumps remain in the batter. Once your oven is preheated remove the hot pans and give them a shake to evenly distribute the butter (if needed).

4) Divide the batter in half and pour into each pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve with powder sugar, fresh fruit and plenty of maple syrup.

Good luck and Enjoy…

Crepe Breakfast Wraps – Feb 28th 2016

Hello Everyone,

So my wife and I just had crepe’s this past week because we went back home and saw family.  Anyways, it is great because there are several different recipes of crepes from protein to sweet to alcoholic ones.  But we had a twist on it by making it into a breakfast wrap.  So I added in some veggies, meat and fruit.  It was fabulous.  I won’t give you guys a recipe because there are several crepe mixes out there but combine your crepe into a wrap!!

Another Idea is making your crepe into a layered sandwich!!  I also tried that too and it was a blast!! Have fun.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup diced fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup of onions and veggies
  • 1/2 of lettuce (Group of 4 people)
  • 4 crepe tortillas (8 inches), warmed

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil. Add egg mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until eggs are completely set. Stir in cheese and ham in order to make a nice omelette.  
  2. Spoon egg mixture down the center of each crepe; add fruit, veggies and onions, roll up.
    Freeze option: Wrap cooled egg wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in a resealable plastic bag for up to 2 weeks. To use, thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove plastic wrap; wrap tortilla in a moist paper towel. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds or until heated through. Serve immediately.
    Yield: 4 servings.

Breakfast on the Go – Feb 14th 2016

Hello Everyone,

This week I looked for something I could make plenty of and fast.  I had a very busy week before I had for some training in a camp.  Here is what I got.

There are several recipes for Bread but I found this Protein Bread easy to combined with other things and fast to make.  If you have a you or a friend have a bread maker it is easier.

PROTEIN BREAD with AVACADOS and RICOTTA CHEESE

Ingredients
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 320 degrees F (160 C).
  2. Using a handheld blender or mixer, blend together all the ingredients to create a smooth batter.
  3. Pour batter into a small bread loaf tin (I use silicone), and bake it for about 40 minutes or until your knife comes out clean when you stab the bread.
  4. Cut some toast slices
  5. Spread ricotta cheese on how many slices you want for breakfast and add avocado pieces or slices on top.

Really simple and good for a few days! Has a great protein and wheat balance.  You can add blueberries like me in the mix after you put the mix in half way.

Good luck

Breakfast Idea – Feb 7th Green Fritter

Hello Everyone,

I just saw this on BBC Foods and wanted to try it as well as share it with you.

Green Fritter

Ingredients

  • 140g courgettes, grated
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 85g broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • small pack dill, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free flour or rice flour
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil, for frying

Method

  1. Squeeze the courgettes between your hands to remove any excess moisture, or tip onto a clean tea towel and twist it to squeeze out the moisture.
  2. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the broccoli, courgettes and most of the dill, and mix together. Add the flour, mix again and season.
  3. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Put a large serving spoon of the mixture in the pan, then add 2 more spoonfuls so you have 3 fritters. Leave for 3-4 mins on a medium heat until golden brown on one side and solid enough for you to flip over, then flip over and leave to go golden on the other side. Repeat to make 3 more fritters (there is no need to add any more oil to the pan after the first batch). Scatter with the remaining dill to serve.
