It's Christmas Week at MLK!!
Welcome!
From Daryl aka Avery:
I'm offering a book giveaway. Don't miss out! See details below.
With a Cheese Shop Mystery coming out in February, I'm already thinking cheese. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm always thinking about cheese. I like it for lunch, snacks, and dinner.
And I love it for breakfast. Especially when there's something easy I can make that turns out totally delicious and kid-friendly. We all need kid-friendly foods during the holidays, right? And if not kid-friendly, then adult-adored! Yes, this recipe I stumbled upon...in a magazine...is adult-adored. Yum! Do I sound like I'm gushing? Yes!
It's simple. Easy. Did I mention simple? Only a few ingredients (which really pleases one of my protagonists)! And it involves cheese (which pleases my other protagonist)!
I would imagine you could switch up the cheese to a fine cheddar, a tasty mascarpone, an easily meltable Gruyere. Play with this recipe. It's fun!
But I have to admit making it with cream cheese was so easy. And who doesn't need easy during the holidays?
Enjoy!
BREAKFAST GRILLED CHEESE
Food Network Magazine March 2014
Ingredients:
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, plus more for topping
4 frozen waffles, untoasted
1 to 2 tablespoons jam, any flavor
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more if needed
Ground cinnamon for topping
Directions:
Mix the cream cheese, cottage
cheese and confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl. Sread 2 waffles with the jam,
then top with the cream cheese mixture; cover with the remaining 2 waffles.
 |
| Note: I used gluten-free waffles for this recipe and they were delicious!! |
Melt the butter in a large
skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden and
crips, about 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
Adjust the heat oif the waffles are browning too quickly.
Let the sandwiches rest 1
minutes before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon.
Yum!
