A Breakfast for Dinner

So I know we do this little introduction every single post and every day I say something about the next recipe, but this week is actually multiple recipes- it's breakfast for dinner!

French Toast
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
3 eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp sugar
12 slices texas toast bread

1. In large bowl mix flour and milk. Add salt, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla and sugar and beat well.
2. Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture, let soak slightly, flip, then place on heated and greased griddle.
3. At this point we cover the french toast with a lid or upside down pan to help the middle cook.
4. Cook over medium heat until browned on one side, flip and cook the other side.

Bacon
1 package bacon

Cook in pan over medium heat, flipping to keep from burning. When cooked, remove from heat and place on paper towels to drain grease.

Scrambled Eggs
3 eggs
3 egg whites
1/3 cup milk
salt and pepper

1. Mix eggs and egg whites with milk.
2. Pour mixture into greased skillet heated over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and stir to scramble. When done, put in bowl.

Hash Brown
Frozen hash brown rectangles

1. Place frozen hash brown on plate. Microwave for 1 minute to defrost.
2. Place on heated skillet and brown.



 BONUS TIP: Although your grandmother, or your mother, taught you to crack eggs on the edge of bowls or pans, I specifically tell you to crack it on a flat surface like a plate or counter. When you crack it on an edge it puts shells in the food you want to eat.

    1. Thanks, it's actually pretty simple. You make scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast, frozen hash browns (it's really hard to make them).

  5. Hi Owen,

    I work with Grandpa George at Lexmark. I've enjoyed reading your Blog and love the recipes. After working all day, I need something quick and easy to cook. Someday I hope to sit in your restaurant and tell people "I knew you when..."

    Keep up the good work!
