Easy Sauerkraut & Bacon Quiche Recipe

October 18, 2021 by Sylvia Rose 7 Comments

This sauerkraut and bacon quiche recipe will tickle your tastebuds in the best possible way. It’s super easy to make, too!

Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served at practically any meal. Leftover quiche makes a quick and easy breakfast, and no one is going to complain if there’s a fresh quiche at the brunch table. In the winter, eat it warm, just barely out of the oven. In summer, serve it cold to help beat the heat.

If you don’t welcome gluten in your life, turn it into a frittata, eliminating the crust to make it keto-friendly. And the flavour! Oh my gosh, it’s superb. Raw sauerkraut is tamed with smoky bacon, sauteed onions, and a hint of dry white wine.

I think you’re going to love this unique quiche recipe, but try it out and see for yourself…

Raclette Breakfast an Epic Way to Start the Day

October 4, 2021 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

A raclette breakfast is a fun way to start the morning. It’s perfect for holidays, special occasions, and brunch parties. Get ready to dig in!

Before breakfast raclette came into my life, eggs benedict was the ultimate special occasion breakfast. Dutch baby breakfasts and homemade Belgian waffles were close runner-ups. And it’s always a special morning when crepes are on the menu.

But raclette for breakfast…it’s a game-changer.

Whether you want to host a small party for brunch or create a new holiday tradition with your family, a raclette breakfast will not disappoint. I promise!

These crispy cast-iron home fries beg to be dipped into runny egg yolks, but they’ll be just as happy paired with a juicy hamburger or a tender steak.

CRISPY SKILLET POTATOES FOR BREAKFAST

Crispy home fries. That’s one thing I look forward to when I go out for breakfast.

I don’t make breakfast potatoes very often, but when I do, it’s always a treat.

Maybe I would fry them up more often if I did the prep the night before.

It’s harder for me to dice potatoes when I’m bleary-eyed and trying to stop my three-year-old from nicking cheese from the fridge.

That’s why I’m going to show you how to make easy skillet potatoes that you can prep in advance so that mornings go smoother.

And of course, we’re going to make them in a cast-iron skillet.

If you don’t have one of these weighty beasts, don’t sweat it. You can get by without one, but if you’re curious about cooking with cast iron, here’s a learning opportunity.

Mind you, these skillet potatoes don’t need to be saved for the breakfast table. Have them any old time you need a side dish!

Perfect Scrambled Eggs (They’re So Creamy!)

April 14, 2020 by Sylvia Rose 2 Comments

Once you get a taste for how velvety and scrumptious scrambled eggs can be, it’s hard to go back. Perfect scrambled eggs can’t be rushed, but they’re so worth it!

Some of you might not want to hear this, but the secret behind making perfect scrambled eggs is time and patience!

To get flavourful, velvety eggs, you need to give yourself a bit of time.

There’s a reason why most restaurants don’t serve up perfect scrambled eggs: it takes too long!

The key is cooking them low and slow.

Are you ready to begin?

Savoury Steel-Cut Oats Breakfast Bowl Recipe

March 27, 2020 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

These savoury steel-cut oats are fermented overnight for an almost creamy mouthfeel, a quicker cooking time, and easier digestibility. Learn how to make this easy breakfast bowl and how to tweak it for endless variations.

Savoury steel-cut oats first appeared on my radar a few years ago.

In full transparency, I was a major skeptic and didn’t buy into them at first.

They sounded too weird to even comprehend!

Can you blame me?

I grew up with steaming pots of cinnamon raisin oatmeal, or oats with dried cranberries, pepitas and maple syrup.

Oatmeal was always sweetened, so I closed myself off to experimenting with a savoury alternative.

Something happened, though.

I switched from rolled oats to steel-cut oats for their nutritional content.

This simple alteration to one of my favourite breakfast meals meant I was open enough to test the waters with savoury oats, and that’s exactly what I did.

My favourite part about this breakfast dish is that it’s a vessel for what I would normally serve with toast.

Most of us know that oats are more filling than bread, but with oats, you can go even crazier than just the typical bacon and eggs accompaniment.

Eggnog French Toast with Bourbon Maple Syrup (in a cast-iron skillet)

December 20, 2019 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

This eggnog French toast recipe is drizzled with boozy bourbon maple syrup. When the Christmas holidays roll around, breakfast calls for an extra sparkle and this one will put you in a right jolly mood!

The word for french toast in French is “pain perdu” which, translated, means lost bread.

This classic breakfast used to be a means to use up stale bread.

Waste not, want not and such. It’s one of my frugal kitchen rules, not letting stale bread go to waste.

Nevertheless, a truly exceptional french toast recipe begins with the bread.

Unless you have bread that’s past its prime, I recommend a loaf that’s either homemade or from your local bakery.

My favourite picks are a fruit and nut bread, cinnamon raisin, brioche, or a good loaf of sourdough.
