An easy, interesting, and inexpensive alternative to the normal eggs & toast breakfast. Makes a great snack too (my boys love it after school!). I first saw this in one of my favorite cook books - Stories & Recipes of the Great Depression by Rita Van Amber. Ingredients:
1 cup breadcrumbs |
1 cup milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup mild cheese, grated or cubed |
1 egg, beaten |
Directions:
1. Soak the bread crumbs in the milk for at least 5 minutes.
2. Melt the butter over low heat and add the cheese (if you like cheese - you can increase up to 1 Cup); stir constantly until the cheese is melted.
3. Add the crumbs with milk and the beaten egg to the melted butter, along with *seasonings of your choice, stir and cook 3 minutes longer.
4. Serve over toasted bread or english muffins - even crackers.
5. *You may like to season this with salt & pepper, cayenne, or Worcestershire sauce. Using different flavors of bread crumbs is fun too!
