I admit it — I’m in a breakfast rut. Pancakes are the pinnacle of our weekend existence (though we did branch out and make apple cinnamon pancakes this weekend), leaving room for the occasional muffin and frittata, but not much else.
So I took it upon myself to find some unique breakfast recipes that excited me, that made me want to break out of my weekend breakfast routine and shout, “No more pancakes!” I suppose I need to clear that with the four-year-old, but I found two recipes that I’m very excited to try.
Individual mini quiches made in muffin tins are crustless, so they are easy for the lazy in me and wheat-free for the tummy-ache in me (and don’t get me started on Owen’s behavior when he eats wheat). They’ve got sausage in them, so you don’t need to make a breakfast meat on the side, so one less step. This is one recipe for crustless quiches, but treat them as you would a frittata and customize them to your liking. You can literally do anything with these quiches to make them the perfect breakfast for you.
Since I’m a freak, I’d alter this recipe for egg and salmon sandwiches a bit. Instead of just using egg whites, I’d use the whole egg (a yolkless egg — really? Who would do that?) and of course I’d serve it all up on my favorite Ezekiel sprouted English muffin. Not your egg, cheese and sausage biscuit to be sure. I can’t wait to try this one. Again, you can customize the breakfast sandwich idea to be perfect for you, but I love the idea of smoked salmon.
