Breakfast Egg Biscuits

Here's an easy breakfast treat you can adapt to the tastes of the whole family.  You can use veggies, meats, and a variety of cheeses to satisfy your pickiest eaters.

Ingredients

1 package refrigerator biscuits
6 eggs
1 c shredded cheese (your choice--I used colby jack)
1/3 c milk
Pinch of salt

Topping suggestions
(Be sure meats are cooked prior to topping)
Bacon pieces
Canadian bacon cubes
Ham cubes
Sausage crumbles
Pulled pork
Chopped veggies
Basically anything that sounds good to you

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400.  Roll out your biscuits to they are flat and round, then place them in your greased muffin tin.  Top with a tablespoon of shredded cheese.

Mix up your eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt, then top the biscuits with the egg mixture.  Not too much, because it will puff quite a bit while baking.

Be sure not to overfill!

Now sprinkle each biscuit with your toppings.  I made this batch without any to serve with ham steak on the side.  Plain cheese is good, too!  Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove when the tops are toasted and the eggs are set.  

Nice and golden

Enjoy.  Easy brunch, easy cleanup.

Yogurt Waffles

Strawberry banana yogurt waffles

Ah, waffles! I love waffles. You can make them so many different ways, and they always are yummy. Here is an easy recipe that you can adapt to whatever kind of yogurt you prefer. I adapted the recipe from a basic waffle recipe from Alton Brown, who is great. Thanks, Alton! xoxo

Ingredients

9 oz of all-purpose flour, approximately 2 cups

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

3 tbsp sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

2 whole eggs, beaten

2 oz unsalted butter, melted

3/4 c whole milk

1 1/2 c yogurt (I used 2 containers of strawberry banana)



Preheat waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a large bowl, combine vanilla, beaten eggs, butter, milk, and yogurt. Add in dry ingredients and whisk until incorporated. You'll have some lumps, but it is ok.

Ladle batter onto waffle maker. Mine comes out perfect with just under a cup per waffle, but yours may be different. Close the iron and toast until golden brown. Top with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit. It's your breakfast, so do whatever you love!

Banana bread waffles

My kids will be the first to tell you I don't cook. I'm blessed with a husband who is an amazing cook and spoils me rotten with my picky eating habits, so I haven't really had to expand my culinary repertoire. But I love breakfast. I could eat breakfast foods every meal of the day. Brunch is my favorite! I've gotten more than my money's worth from our $20 Oster waffle maker from Target. Today I experiment with the waffle recipe on the Bisquick box that has my own additions.

Ever find yourself with one lone banana ready to turn black? Today I found a use for it, and it was yummy.


Ingredients

2 cups Bisquick

1 1/3 c. milk (I use whole, but whatever you like)

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 egg

1 overripe banana

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

 

Preheat waffle iron and spray lightly with Pam. Stir all ingredients together until blended. Pour onto center of hot waffle iron, close lid. I found that 3/4 cup of batter worked perfectly for an iron my size. Bake on high about 2 minutes or until "ready" light turns on. Open lid and carefully remove waffle, lifting edges with a fork.

Makes 6 waffles.

These turned out great! The banana flavor was subtle and worked well with the vanilla and sugar. You could add more banana to the batter for a stronger flavor, but you may need to add more milk if it gets too thick. I ate mine with butter and syrup, and it was delicious. I'd love to hear your favorite kinds of waffles so I can try those too!
