Product Review: Sugar Bowl Bakery Palmiers
With its round, cake like shape and cheese melted over the top like frosting, it’s understandable how this classic egg dish go the nickname “Breakfast Cake.” Though this recipe by Cricket Azima from our friends at ArchetypeMe looks and sounds decadent, breakfast cake is a simple way to serve a healthful, nutrient-packed breakfast!
What Matters to Mom?
For one thing, feeling great about serving a homemade breakfast without having to get up at the crack of dawn to cook! What’s more, this dish can be whipped up on Sunday, then frozen into individual portions for reheating on hectic weekday mornings- a time- saver. To make it extra-appealing to the kids, this “cake” can be made as “cupcakes” by baking it in a muffin tin for handy single-serving portions. Then there’s the satisfaction of sneaking nutrient-rich vegetables into their morning meal.
Breakfast cake can be prepared according to the recipe below, or customized to include other family-favorite vegetables. For example, if your gang is crazy about red peppers and not the biggest fans of zucchini, go ahead and substitute! And since kids are more likely to eat vegetables they’ve selected themselves, offer an array and have them weigh in. Cook with what you have on hand, or according to individual dietary needs. For a lactose-free version of this dish, simply leave out the cheese. Similarly, for a heftier rendition, stir in leftover pasta.
