Having breakfast for dinner is like getting away with something you're not supposed to. And when you're a kid, with parents who are always calling the shots and doing things the right way, there's something delightfully topsy-turvy about having breakfast for dinner, isn't there?
Our breakfast of choice the other night was french toast with sausages. I could make various claims to pseudo-justify the menu (eggs, bread, turkey sausage, served with milk and grapes: wholesome, right?). But really, we were having breakfast for dinner just because it was fun. And easy.
I had a loaf of italian bread that was beginning to go stale, so we cubed about 3/4 of the loaf. In a mixing bowl, we combined:
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (more if your bread is more stale)
1 TB of sugar
1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp (just a dash!) of ground cardamon and
a dash of salt
We mixed the bread into the egg mixture and let it soak while the pan heated up.
We spread all the cubes of soaked bread into a medium-high non-stick pan and flipped them a couple of times. Allow about 6-8 minutes for the cubes to cook thoroughly.
Have a little fun sometime soon - after all, isn't breakfast the most important meal of the day, no matter what time you have it?
