Waffles

Remember how I used the waffle tray to make eggs for breakfast sandwiches? Well, it's also great for making waffles. Whodathunkit? I like using the waffle tray because this means we all get to eat the same time and I don't have to stand over a waffle iron for minutes on end. I paired the delicious waffles with some breakfast cups, but this time I used the round tray.

Waffles

2 C flour

1 tsp salt

4 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 C milk, warm

1/3 butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla

In a mixing bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl beat the eggs, pour in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients in to the dry and combine. Ladle into wells, filling them 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown.

Notes: If you want the tops to be flat, fill them half full and lay a Silpat on top before baking. This recipe makes just enough batter to fill all 12 wells. The waffles reheat perfectly in the toaster.

Breakfast Sandwiches

These breakfast sandwiches are super easy to make and are on the healthier side of things. I mean if you go to that fast food joint you'll get a sandwich that has 450 calories and 27 grams of fat. I used whole wheat english muffins, real cheddar cheese, a thin slice of canadian bacon and an egg and a half on my sandwiches and they have is 427 calories with 14.2 grams of fat. Those numbers include a banana. A full meal deal!

Beat about 8 eggs, add salt and pepper then dump the egg mixture into the individual waffle trays. Only fill them 3/4 full as the eggs will expand while they bake. With 8 eggs, you'll fill about 6 spots. Bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes. Once they are done place a slice of cheddar cheese on top and let it sit while you give the canadian bacon a quick fry. Assemble your sandwiches, and enjoy!
