What to Make for Brunch: Breakfast Tart 07.27.2013

A while ago, Delaware zentangle artist JJ McDonald LaBarbera posted a photo on Facebook of a square bread-pie-egg concoction that looked heavenly.  And I was sure she had picked it up at a store, restaurant, or Sunday farmer's market because WHY would you spend your Sunday morning creating something so yummy and beautiful?  She indeed cooked the Farmer's Breakfast Tart herself and shared the Pepperidge Farm recipe in photos.

When she photographed the recipe, she didn't have green onions on hand but recommends them.  "For the second time, I added about a tablespoon and a half of stone ground mustard...I think it was a great addition to the potato layer," she wrote.

In addition to making this delicious tart, JJ is a talented artist.  You can see her work at her blog Tinker Tangles and on Etsy. Thanks JJ!

Here we go!

Gather ingredients

Spread pastry sheet

Stir sour cream, cheese, and potato

Spread potato mixture on pastry sheet

Bake for 15 minutes and then arrange sausage on pastry sheet

Crack one egg in each quarter of the sheet

Bake for 10 minutes or until the eggs are done and the sprinkle green onions and additional cheese (if desired) (why on Earth wouldn't you desire that??)

Enjoy!

Bunny-Shaped Hard-Boiled Egg: Or, Desperate Ways to Feed Your Strong-Willed Children 03.24.2012

Fat Mum Slim's photo challenge for today was "animal", and when I was making my daughter's favorite breakfast this morning...well, look at it...it's a hard-boiled egg in the shape of a bunny!  Could that be any more animal??  I found this mold along with several others at William-Sonoma for $10.  My kids go on hunger strike always sometimes and we have to resort to desperate fun measures to ensure they get food in their little systems.  These egg molds are a great solution for breakfast.  What kid can resist food in the shape of a cute animal?  It's quick and easy, and protein at its finest.  Enjoy!

Favorite Sunday Morning Breakfast 03.18.2012

Toasted plain bagel with cream cheese -- whipped, of course -- Norwegian salmon drenched with fresh lemon juice and capers.  And time permitting, a side of The New York Times.
