Instead, we decided on Brunch for dinner which included German pancakes (or Dutch babies), bacon (with option of an egg sandwich), fruit skewers and, of course, mimosas. Inexpensive, easy, and delicious.
German Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 5 eggs
- 4 tbs butter
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Put butter in a 9x14" pan and put in the oven to melt.
Beat together flour, milk, and eggs.
Check the butter occasionally to make sure it's not getting too browned, then once the oven has reached 425 pull your pan out and add the flour, milk, and egg mixture. Put the pan back in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
Take it out of the oven, cut it up and enjoy!
Fruit Skewers
Katie was recently inspired by Jello Shot Test Kitchen's fruit and jello skewers so she thought this would be a cute spin on serving fruit rather than just throwing it all in a bowl. Fruit is always tasty and this presentation does give it a little something special. And best part, so easy!
Ingredients:
- Fruit
- Skewers
Instructions:
Pick out the fruit you want, wash and cut (if needed.) In our case we chose raspberries, blueberries, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe.
Skewer and serve!
Bacon
Ingredients:
- Bacon
So this one is pretty obvious and I'm not even going to write out any steps. Either bake it at 425 for 12 minutes, or fry it up in a pan! To make an egg sandwich (which Adam opted for) just fry an egg in a little of the bacon grease and put on a toasted english muffin with a slice of cheddar cheese and of course, bacon.
Mimosas
For mimosas, we've recently been inspired to change it up with different types of juice other than the traditional orange juice. So far my absolute favorite is fresh grapefruit juice, but last Thursday we tried it with raspberry lemonade which was pretty tasty.
Ingredients:
- Champagne
- Fruit juice (your choice!)
Instructions:
Pour a good amount of champagne into your glass, we just went with normal wine glasses instead of smaller champagne flutes. Also, there's no need to buy expensive champagne. We use cooks because it's the cheapest and we seem to go through these rather quickly!
Add a splash of your favorite juice, garnish with fruit and enjoy!
See you next week!
