It’s National French Toast Day! with Linky!

Posted By HelenFern On In Breakfast,Brunch,Main dish,Meatless | 9 Comments

In honor of the humble “poor knight’s pudding” (as it was known in Britain before the 100 year war), we are here to share some facts and recipes!

Fact:  French toast is not French at all!  The earliest reference goes back to 4th Century Rome and France didn’t exist then!

Fact: During Medieval times, this milk soaked toast was made to use up ever little bit of food.  Nothing went to waste!

Fact: And now, in modern times, we have this delicious dish served in a multitude of ways and enjoy it for both breakfast and supper!

Are you ready for some delicious recipes?  Well lets start with the basics…

What you need:

How to Do it:

Cut the bread into 1 to 2 inch slices.

Ham, Cheese & Mushroom Omelet

Posted By HelenFern On In Breakfast,Brunch | 4 Comments

The turkey is all put away – the dishes are done – and it’s the day after Thanksgiving.  I don’t do black Friday sales.  It’s way too crazy!  So I like to have a leisurely breakfast and relish the warmth of the holiday season.   Here is a breakfast that can do just that!  A succulent and savory omelet.

What you need:

How to Do it:

Melt the butter in a 12 inch skillet.  Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and starting to brown.

Add the ham, cooking until lightly browned.

Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper and the butter milk.  Pour the mixture over the ham and mushrooms and cover.  Cook on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, until eggs begin to set.  Be careful not to burn the butter!  Keep the heat on low.

and cover until the cheese melts.
