Breakfast Blast-Off

 

I'm heading to a "custom" doughnut shop today, one where you choose your glaze and toppings. It's not a new concept (the first store opened in Ocean City, Maryland in 1976), but the new store opened in AZ just two weeks ago. I can't wait and I will certainly report back! In the meantime, here are some fast breakfast ideas to get you moving!

Egg and Cheese Wrap: Spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray.  Whisk 1 large egg and add to hot pan.  Cook until egg is almost cooked through.  Flip and top with about 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar, mozzarella or parmesan cheese.  Cook until egg is completely cooked and cheese starts to melt (just a few seconds).  Slide egg onto a small multigrain tortilla and roll up.

Mini Bagel Egg and Cheese: Toast a mini bagel with one half covered with cheese (we like American and cheddar).  Meanwhile, spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray.  Whisk 1 large egg and add to hot pan.  Cook until egg is almost cooked through.  Flip and cook until egg is completely cooked (just a few seconds).  Fold in half and then in half again and place inside bagel.  Serve with a fruit kebab.

Banana Soft Taco:  Spread peanut butter on a small multigrain tortilla (fajita size).  Place a banana on top and roll up.  If desired, add all-fruit preserves.

Cup o’ Cereal:  Fill a plastic cup with whole grain cereal and then top with fresh berries and/or sliced banana.  My kids eat the cereal dry, but you can add low-fat milk right before you head out the door.
