This was our breakfast Sunday morning. Aren't they cute? They were very, very good. It's the whole egg and the toast combo all together in one nice package.
These are so easy to make and wouldn't they be splendid on a brunch buffet table? The best part, you can easily make two, ten, a hundred, whatever your needs are at the moment.
I think there are a lot of variations you could do nicely with this recipe, such as, swap out the Parmesan cheese with grated Gruyere or crumbled blue cheese to give a different taste. Use feta and substitute oregano for the other herbs for a Greek flavor.
I used sourdough but I think this would also be nice with onion or brioche rolls as long as they are sturdy.
Any way you put these together, they will be great.

Chevre Brownies
Brownies are the perfect picnic food. I wanted chocolate, I wanted a brownie, but I wanted something a little different. I thought a cream cheese brownie would be great but didn’t have cream cheese. However, what I did have was some goat cheese. I thought, what the heck…I am going to experiment.
I used the brownie base for David Lebovitz’s (Ready for Dessert) cheesecake brownies, but swapped the cream cheese for goat cheese and added a touch more sugar (to compensate for the tartness in the goat cheese).
I also omitted the chocolate chips from the actual brownie base and instead took a skinny bar of Valrhona and did a rough chop. After swirling in the cheese mixture, I dotted the top of the brownies with the chocolate chunks.
Baking Cinnamon Swirl Bread with a Friend
Patricia (Technicolor Kitchen) and I are at it again. She and I are having so much fun thumbing through our cookbooks, choosing our task, and baking goodies on our bucket list.
We both decided that this week we would bake from The Sono Baking Company Cookbook. This is one of my newest purchases and I have read it from cover to cover. I love this book and there are very few recipes I do not want to try. I cannot wait to make them all. Patricia chose to make hers with chocoate chips (I entertained that idea, but decided against it) and although she says the chocoalte was a bit too bitter, I kind of like the idea of bitter and sweet.
Who doesn’t like Cinnamon Bread (with raisins, chocolate, nuts)? This is every bit as good as a cinnamon bread you would buy in the best bakery. I swapped out the white flour for whole wheat pastry flour and it was airy and light and perfectly balanced. The second day, we toasted it and slathered it with salted, organic butter. Comfort food at its best!
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are usually an over-the-top decadence, but this is a lighter (low in fat) version of the traditional hotcakes you are used to consuming. Every bite is reminiscent in texture and flavor to a light and airy cheesecake. What could be better than that?
The assertive flavor of these pancakes comes from the double shot of citrus, using both fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. When topped off with the Blueberry Sauce every bite is a fulfilling treat.
Has there ever been a more perfect Mother's Day brunch item? When Mom hears (because she won't know by tasting) this is a low in fat version of a favorite, it will knock her socks off.
So, whip these up. Mom will have no idea these are low in fat. She'll be thrilled you did.
White Cheddar Cheese Soup
So simple looking yet packed with an unreal amount of flavor, not to mention its perfectly thick consistency. It's just the way I like my soup, creamy, cheesy and yummy.
Cheddar cheese soup has always been a favorite of mine but when made at home it can often turn out lumpy. Cheddar has a tendency to clump together or get grainy when added to a hot liquid.
One way to solve the clumping issue is to grate the Cheddar finely and add it to the soup once it's removed from the heat; do not boil the soup once the Cheddar has been added The cheese will melt easily and you will end up with an amazing meal.
Using a good quality sharp, white Cheddar will yield the most flavor and you won't believe what an incredible taste this soup has, it's definitely company worthy. Serve some fresh baked bread on the side and you have the perfect meal.
