10 Fabulous Breakfasts Ideas Made By You!!!
Ever since I was a child and as long as I can remember we always would wake up in the morning and Dad would have a big hot breakfast like those served in restaurants ready for us. As an adult I have taken that family tradition and made it ours too! There is nothing better than a hot plate of delicious food to start out a Sunday. Why eat out when you can make a full breakfast for a family of 5 for under 10 dollars. I dare you to find that kind of a deal at a restaurant!
Eggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict sounds complicating, but its not! This tasty meal is made up of egg, Canadian bacon, English muffin and hollandaise sauce. So here is a trick to making this tasty dish.
1.Hollandaise sauce is perfect out of a packet...literally..Knorrs makes the best!!! Hollandaise...why make it from scratch if you can cheat!
2. You can poach an egg or lightly fry it up, if you poach the egg get a pan of water on stove when it comes to a boil drop temp down to high low so it wont boil anymore, then add in 1T white vinegar...must do that or you will make a egg slurry...vinegar helps egg to poach correctly.... after a 3-4 minutes pull egg out and drain on paper towel
3.Split a MillBrook English muffin, they stay crispier due to the cornmeal dusted bottom, toast it up
4. Warm Canadian bacon up
5. Place toasted English muffin half down, place Canadian bacon on top , then place the egg, then drizzle the hollandaise sauce... seriously as easy as that! Garnish with chives for green effect! But not necessary!
Homemade Hash Browns
1.Peel potatoes and rinse off.
2.Then with a grater, grate the potatoes in a big bowl
3.Fill bowl up with water and let sit for around 5-10 minutes or even overnight...make sure water covers all the hash browns or they will brown...
4. Drain the potatoes well and place on a towel to dry for a minute or 2
5. Get a large pan and on medium high add in oil around 1T for every potato you grated or add in butter for a richer flavor.
6. Place semi dried potatoes in the hot pan and sprinkle salt pepper and some diced onions if you like onions like I do
7. Drop heat down to medium and every 3-5 minutes flip less crowded the pan the crispy they will get! Serve when golden brown or cooked the way you like them.
***These Hash browns cost maybe 50 cents, where a frozen bag costs upward of 2 to 3 dollars. Convenience costs money!***
Best Bacon/Sausage Made Easy!!
1. Oven at 375
2. Place bacon strips on a baking sheet and please don't overlap or they wont get crispy
3. Place pan in oven and within 15 minutes depending on thickness you will have brown crispy bacon
4. Lift bacon off of the pan and drain on paper towels
5.Smile you don't have to clean up a huge greasy mess:)
***You can do this with sausage links and patties too! But will take a few minutes longer.***
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
1. Open and Bake some Pillsbury biscuits
2. In a pan brown up a roll of Jimmy Dean Sausage variety of choice...any will work
3. Remove sausage when fully!! browned
4. Add in 4T butter/margarine and 4T flour back in sausage pan and whisk until you have cooked the flour for 1 minute on medium/medium high
5. Add in 3 cups milk or 2 cans evaporated milk until it thickens up, if it seems to thick add in more milk... but a bit at a time, also add in 1/2T. ground pepper and 1/2T. salt..
6. Add back in sausage
7. Split biscuits and pour gravy over them! Enjoy!
Best Omelets
1. Warm up on medium a small 6inch fry pan or whatever size you like
2. In a bowl add in 2 eggs and a tablespoon of milk a pinch of salt and pepper , mix well
3. Place mixture in the fry pan and cook, using a butter knife pull sides toward the middle a bit so the uncooked top will move to bottom of pan
4. When most is cooked using a spatula flip the omelet over so top will cook, place cheese, ham, onions, green peppers, tomatoes or whatever you like on one side of omelet and gently fold over the other side enclosing the ingredients
5. Let cheese melt and serve. Easier to do than make this post, honestly
***Made a cheese omelet and poured over some chili...best omelet I have made in years!***
My French Toast!
1. Preheat a grill pan or large fry pan on medium
2. In a bowl place 5 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 2T brown sugar, 1t. liquid vanilla, 1t. cinnamon and mix well
3. I use Sweetheart Texas Toast, you really need a thick bread for this... you can do this the night before and let air dry by placing them on the counter before going to bed
4. Need to add a smear of butter to pan so toast don't stick then dip each slice in the batter making sure to have no bread showing
5. Place in pan and cook on medium heat until both sides are browned....
****You can switch this up by using frozen waffles defrosted and placing them in this egg mixture and browning them in the pan... Excellent taste and texture******
Breakfast Casserole/Premake before bed
1. Place frozen tater tots single layer on the bottom of glass or metal 8x8 pan
2. In a mixing bowl add in 8 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup grated cheese, and 1 cup of bacon or 1.5 cups of diced ham or sausage browned and crumbled, along with peppers/onions or any other veggies you like, also a teaspoon of black pepper and salt.. Mix well and pour over the tater tots and cover with foil, place in fridge and go to bed or relax.
3. Preheat oven at 350 and put pan covered in the oven for 45 minutes, then uncover and top with another cup or 2 of cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes
4. Let set for 5 minutes and cut into squares and enjoy!
***You could do this in the crock pot on low overnight I am sure***
*** I enjoy mixing in bacon, white cheddar cheese, asparagus and caramelized onion in the mix***
Mix It Up Pancakes/Waffles
1. Preheat pan on medium
2. Mix up a basic batch of pancake mix, honestly the box is as good as homemade if you use Aunt Jemima...
3. Decide what kind you like, defrost frozen blueberries, cut up bananas, use chocolate chips, or saute some apples in butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and cook down until soft and pour over freshly cooked pancakes instead of syrup...
4. Pour batter in pan and then top them with your favorite ingredient, when bubbling in the center of pancake flip it over and cook until other side is browned.
5. Serve them up!

Homemade EggMcMuffin
1. Cook up meat of choice, Canadian bacon, ham, bacon or sausage
2. Toast split Millbrook English muffins
3. Fry or scramble up eggs
4. Place meat, then a slice of cheese and egg on one side of muffin then top with other toasted muffin.
5. Simple as that!
Breakfast Burritos
So I am bias when it comes to tortillas but Don Julio tortillas are the best, they are soft and fresh and don't break, so with that being said you can find these at some grocery stores or at the Sweetheart Thrift Store.
Warm large tortilla up 30 seconds and place in scrambled eggs, cooked meat of choice, some cooked hash browns, sprinkled cheese and top with salsa.
Fold up in a burrito and enjoy! Super quick and easy!
***Avocado is terrific in these too***
