Brinner (Breakfast for dinner)
is quickly becoming a family favorite in my house. As a mom, I love transforming the ingredients
of an ordinary breakfast sandwich into something fun, exciting and kid-friendly
and serving it up for dinner!
And since I often teach Zumba
classes in the evening, I love a quick protein packed dinner to fuel my work
outs. Served up alongside a bowl of
fresh fruit, this satisfying sandwich is sure to please!
Waffle Iron Eggs ‘n Biscuits
An Amy’s Cooking Adventures
Original Recipe
1 ¼ cup all-purpose baking mix
(such as Bisquick)
1/3 cup low fat milk
3 tbsp cooked, crumbled bacon
(or precooked bacon such as Oscar Mayer)
6 slices Swiss Deli Cheese
3 large eggs
Salt & pepper
Diced avocado (optional)
Preheat a small Belgian Waffle
Maker (this is similar to the one I use) or waffle maker of your choice.
In a bowl, mix together the
baking mix and milk until a soft dough forms.
Lightly dust a work surface with additional baking mix. Place the dough onto the work surface and
knead once or twice. Use a rolling pin
to roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness.
Use a pizza wheel to cut the
rolled out dough into squares that are slightly smaller than the sections of
the waffle maker (adjust accordingly if using a circular waffle iron).
Spray the waffle iron
generously with non-stick cooking spray and place the dough squares on the
waffle iron. Immediately add a sprinkling
of bacon pieces (about 1 tablespoon) and a slice of cheese onto each dough
square.
Crack one egg over each pair
of sandwich stacks and carefully (so as not to squeeze out all of the egg)
close the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes or
until the egg is cooked and the biscuit is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve hot sprinkled with diced
avocado and additional bacon pieces (or tomatoes, or salsa, or any of your
favorites). Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteBrinner! I love it!! My kids never eat breakfast for breakfast. Always for dinner. My sister is the same way with her kids. She just told me that she finally made pancakes for breakfast the other day and her kids said, "Mom, why are we eating dinner for breakfast?"
