i really have no point for this post or for this recipe….i just had a lot of smoked salmon i needed to use in my fridge! So I ended up making these adorable breakfast LOX bites!

however, these bites are a really great thing to serve, (not to mention beyond easy) if you’re having some people over to your place for brunch!  Go ahead, invite a couple people over this weekend to have a little Sunday afternoon fun at your place with some good drinks, food, and music! I’d serve these with…….well, Bellinis & Mimosas of course!!…. a nice Yogurt Parfait, and some mini Corn Muffin bites with a side of Maple Syrup to dip them in served in tiny ramekins – because i think you should always include Maple Syrup to every brunch! 

take a look at my recipe……………..

Pile Them High!

Gluten-Free Strawberry Cupcake Pancakes

Gluten-Free Strawberry Pancakes

The reason I call these “Strawberry Cupcake Pancakes” is because they taste like Cupcakes! The only thing I wanted to eat today were some pancakes. Maybe because of all the grilled food I ate over Memorial weekend, I don’t know. But a stack of pancakes with some butter was the only thing I wanted going into my stomach today! Continue reading

Breakfast for Dinner

Crustless Quiche with Sprouted Whole Grain Cheesy Bread Sticks

This version of “breakfast for dinner” is a little fancier from what I grew up with…which was pancakes and sausage links. When mom pulled out that Bisquick box to start making pancakes, you knew she had a long day and was not in the mood for cooking a sit down dinner!

This dish is also great if you have leftover vegetables from the previous dinner that you know no one is going to actually reheat. I had a lot of mushrooms and sliced peppers from a crudites dish left over from my party over the weekend. And I certainly wasn’t going to snack on them. I don’t snack on veggies….I snack on cookies! So if you have left over broccoli, spinach, even left over meats like ham and turkey, they would all work as well.

Ingredients / serves 2

4 eggs

3/4 cup of half & half or whole milk

1/2 cup diced peppers

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1 T butter

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup of grated Gouda cheese

1/2 t sea salt

1/4 t pepper

Process

Dice up peppers and mushrooms. Saute in a pan with butter for 5-8 min.

Beat eggs, then add milk, salt & pepper. Set aside.

Grate Parmesan and Gouda cheeses.

Lightly butter 2 medium-sized ramekins. Divide cooked peppers and mushrooms in each ramekin as well as divided cheese…leave a little cheese out to sprinkle on top.

Pour egg mixture over vegetable + cheese mixture.

Place filled ramekins on a baking sheet. Put in oven at 400 degrees for 35 min.

*The Quiche will pillow up, but don’t worry, it will deflate once out of the oven.

I served Dan’s Quiche with a side of Sprouted Whole Grain Cheesy Breadsticks that my dad got for me from an awesome little bakery in Bloomsburg called Columbia County Bread open Tuesdays and Saturdays.

I enjoyed my Crustless Quiche with some Sweetened Soothin’ Infusion Organic Herbal Iced Tea by The Barefoot Cook


ENJOY!!
