Breakfast

Yogurt Bowl

6/8/2021

Hello! L here, bringing you an easy and delicious breakfast option. As an educator, my mornings are often early and my afternoons sometimes run into the evening, so I tend to need fast breakfasts that I can put together the night before and eat on the run, or make quickly in the morning. I am currently in a breakfast rotation between two delicious dishes, and this is one of them!

It may seem simple, and really it is. However, it is also filling, nutrient-packed, and gives you a delicious start to your day! I think it is better eaten right away, but works well if packed the night before, too. My bowl is also seen here with an energy- another post coming on those!

Yogurt Bowl
Ingredients:
  • ​3/4 cup yogurt (I used an unsweetened lactose-free yogurt)
  • 1 c. fruit (I used some apricots, blackberries and blueberries)
  • 1 tbsp each of seeds ( I used pepitas, chia seeds, and hemp seeds)
Instructions:
  1. Spread yogurt in bottom of wide bowl.
  2. Put chosen fruit and seeds on top.
  3. Enjoy!

We love making Irish soda bread- this recipe lets you take it along as a portable breakfast! The blueberries can be substituted with caraway seeds or your favorite dried fruit. We used a mix of whole wheat and white flour, but trying different combinations of flour will give you different bakes and consistencies.

J got to tour a farm in Ireland once, and part of the visit included making Irish soda bread in the farm's large kitchen. According to the farmer, the final step was to add "a bit of butter and jam, and you're in business." Can't argue with that.
 

Blueberry Irish Soda Bread Muffins

Ingredients:
  • ​1 cup white flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (OR 1 cup milk + juice of 1 lemon)
  • 3 Tbsp. agave syrup or honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp white or wheat flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. ​In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using hands or a pastry cutter, incorporate Greek yogurt until mixture becomes crumbly. 
  4. In a small bowl, beat together egg, agave, and buttermilk.
  5. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture, stirring gently to combine. Dust blueberries with flour and stir in gently.
  6. Place batter into greased muffin tin, and bake for 25 minutes.

Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf

If you haven't noticed, we've been in quite the baking mood around here lately. Here's another sweet bread that's great for any meal time. We experimented with substituting fat-free greek yogurt for butter, and the loaf turned out just as moist and delicious.

This recipe uses the zest and juice from 2 lemons, but 3 or 4 would work just as well if you want a more citrusy flavor. If you like, you can add a glaze by mixing a few tablespoons each of lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan on low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Let cool for 5-6 minutes before glazing.

Mushroom, Egg, & Scallion Breakfast Cups

2/19/2018

This is a savory brunch recipe that pairs nicely with something sweet- we had it for breakfast with some vanilla yogurt and sliced strawberries. If you do what we did and chop up more mushrooms than you need (oops), you can sauté and eat them right alongside the main dish, or use them in a crostini appetizer later on.

​Mushroom, Egg, & Scallion Breakfast Cups

Ingredients:
  • ​6 Slices of Whole Grain Bread
  • 1 cup of Portobello Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup of Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1 Scallion, chopped
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • a few shakes of Paprika
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 6 cups of a standard muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together mushrooms, scallions, thyme, and salt and pepper.
  3. Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin, and press them into the muffin tin. This may take some overlapping and folding- don't worry if the bread sticks up over the tin.
  4. Put a spoonful of the mushroom mixture into each cup, leaving some room for more ingredients.
  5. Carefully crack open an egg into each cup, and top with cheese, paprika, and more salt and pepper if desired.
  6. Bake in oven for 20 minutes for softer eggs, or up to 25 minutes for more well-cooked eggs.

Berry & Chocolate Oatmeal Brûlée

2/16/2018

0 Comments

 
One of L's inventions, this is definitely one of our favorite breakfasts. It's perfect for a late brunch on slow mornings. We had to figure out how to use the broiler in our new oven- we'd never had one with a Hi/Lo setting. We tried this recipe on "low" for about 3 minutes, and it worked out wonderfully. I mean, LOOK HOW TASTY THIS LOOKS.

When it comes to cooking breakfast, sometimes simple and easy is better. Morning is not the time for stress and tension. There's no shame here for using frozen berries, instant oatmeal, and whatever dish you have handy that works in a broiler. Before starting, we noticed we were out of chocolate chips (OH NO). But a handful of roughly chopped milk-chocolate nut clusters worked just as well.

Berry & Chocolate Oatmeal Brûlée

Ingredients:
  • 4 fairly big ramekins (Single-serving baking dishes, about 1 cup each), OR a 1-quart baking dish. Note that whatever you use should be broiler-friendly.
  • 2 cups of Instant Oats
  • just a li’l Butter (to grease the dish[es]- you can also use the sprayable oil stuff)
  • 1 cup of Fresh or Frozen Berries (we used a mix of raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries)
  • 1/2 cup of Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp of Cinnamon
Directions:
  1. Grease the dish(es) with butter.
  2. Cook the oatmeal on the stove, according to the directions.
  3. Dump in the berries and chocolate chips.
  4. Stir it around on low heat, until the berries soften and the chocolate chips have melted.
  5. Plop all that goodness in the baking dish(es), and top it with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Place in the broiler for about 3-4 minutes, just until the topping gets crispety-crackly. If you see bubbles boiling on top, it's ready to take out.
