Here are my two favorite recipes when we are in the mood to have breakfast for dinner. Probably because they are the two most time-consuming recipes that I have, therefore we don’t make them often for breakfast. When I’m hungry….I’m hungry!
BABY GERMAN PANCAKES
aka DUTCH BABIES
(click here for a printable recipe)
6 eggs (room temp)
1 cup milk (room temp)
1 cup all purpose flour (sifted)
¼ t. vanilla extract
¼ t. ground cinnamon
5 T. butter
Top with:
Lemon Juice
Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven and place pie-plate or cast-iron skillet in the oven until hot.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter should be thin, smooth and creamy.
- Remove hot plates from oven and add the butter, coat the skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet quickly and immediately return to the oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Top with melted butter, lemon juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Special Notes:
Glass pie plates have the best results. Recipe makes 4 pie plates.
BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
(click here for a printable recipe)
8 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
3 cups bread cubes
1 tsp dry mustard
2 lb sausage (bacon/both)
1 lb grated cheddar
1/2 lb fresh mushrooms
Instructions
- Brown the sausage, drain off excess fat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, mustard, and bread cubes and salt to taste. Wait a few minutes for the bread cubes to absorb the milk and eggs. Stir in 80% of the grated cheese.
- Add the cooked and drained sausage. Mix well. Pour into a 9×13 casserole dish. Top with sliced mushrooms and remaining cheese.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Special Notes:
You can cut up your own bread for the bread cubes, or else buy a package of croutons or stuffing. You can also add potatoes!
