Kids Ham and Egg Sandwich

The challenges of a picky eater and you need to fit in the ingredients which the kids like and is quick to prepare! My daughter loves McDonalds and I would not deny it :) I think it is the happy meal toys that draw her there - she loves their egg sandwich so I decided to make this at home.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 extra crispy english muffins
• 2 slices of cheese
• 2 slices of deli ham
• Butter and cooking spray

Method:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Cut muffins to half and apply butter on the inside. Place muffin halves cut side up on baking sheet.
• Top each half with one cheese slice and place in oven for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Crack a egg into pan and cook on both sides until done.
• Take the muffins out from the oven. Place a deli ham, egg and the other muffin half on top. Serve hot and enjoy.

Berry Berry Pancake

Weekend mornings are times for some lazy and easy breakfast and this pancake recipe is one of them. Top it with your favorite toppings - you can use maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, jam, sweetened whipped cream or what my little one loves- colorful sprinkles ! This recipe will make 8-10 pancakes.


Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3-4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• Oil for cooking
• Dried cranberry and blueberry for topping

Method:

• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, oil, and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
• Heat a large nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 1-2 teaspoon oil and spread it in the pan.
• For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon spread batter into a round shape. Add a few dried berries on top.
• Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve hot with your desired toppings.
