If you're wondering why I put up all the breakfast recipes, I'll tell you. Matthias loves making breakfast over the weekends. We love eating it just as much. He makes lots of things... buttermilk pancakes, hoot-nannies, palatchinken, waffles, eggs-in-a-hat, to name a few. He kinda prides himself on being the breakfast maker of the house. I am totally fine with that!
Anyways, I thought I'd make him a book of recipes for christmas. I wanted to get it printed "book" style, and not just a jumble of papers in a binder. I added a few recipes that we make in my side of the family, and called his mom to get some of hers as well. I hope he likes it!

granola
1 cup peanuts or toasted almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried fruit (apricots, craisins, apple)
scant 1/4 cup cooking oil (not olive)
1/2 cup honey
- Mix the oat, nuts and grains in a large bowl. Measure oil into the measuring cup and swirl it around before pouring into bowl. Then measure out the honey in the same, unwashed cup. The oil will help the honey exit the cup.
- Toss everything together until evenly coated and then pour out onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, turning it with a spatula every ten minutes or so. You want everything to be an even golden brown.
- When it is finished cooking, returned the baked granola to the mixing bowl, add the raisins and fruit and stir to combine. Stir gently several times as it cooks, so that it doesn't clump together too much.
french toast casserole
6-10 eggs (more eggs makes the final product more firm and less likely to deflate while baking)
2-3 c grated cheddar cheese
6 slices bread cut into cubes
2 c milk
salt and pepper
Beat eggs & stir in milk and cheese. Carefully blend in cubed bread, add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into greased 9 x 13 casserole dish. Bake for approx 50 minutes at 350 degrees until top is lighted browned. Remove from oven and lightly cool. Top with syrup, ketchup or your favorite topping.
(Before baking, you can also add in mushrooms, pepper, onion, precooked sausage, bacon, etc if desired, which will make it more like an omelet rather than french toast).
