Have you ever had bread rolls or croissants left over from a breakfast (or brunch) that aren’t quite as nice and fresh the next day? No problem! You can turn stale croissants into a delicious Ham & Cheese Croissant Bake, for example. It’s quick and easy and really tasty!
If there’s one thing for breakfast, that’s a bit more special compared to regular bread, etc., it’s something like these Easy Croissant French Toast. If you ever had French toast, you will probably agree. It’s delicious and super easy to prepare. If a loved one serves you this dish, you have probably done everything right… or you are at a good hotel enjoying a lavish breakfast. Both is fine! ;P
If you want to serve something special for breakfast or a brunch, a sweet casserole like this Franzbrötchen Apple Casserole aka. Ofenschlupfer is always a good idea – especially if you want to feed a lot of people. ;) We normally have that »problem« on public holidays. Relatives invite themselves, and you got to feed a few extra mouths. I mean – you can spoil loved family members with delicious food! ;P
As a diabetic, I always have to keep an eye on what I eat. In theory, I can eat anything, but some foods can cause problems. First and foremost, of course, anything with too much sugar added. That’s why I like to fall back on sugar-free or sugar-reduced alternatives – or I come up with something at home without added sugar. This Strawberry Vanilla Jam is made with (almost) no added sugar. Great, if you want to eat less of that white stuff ;P
Scones are absolute classics in the UK. Here in Germany, those small, crumbly treats have still not really caught on. It’s a shame – I really like scones. For me, delicious Blackberry Scones like these here are among the easiest and most uncomplicated pastries you can make at home. You just have to love them ;)
Easter is the time for homemade stuff. All kinds of baked goods with yeast are popular around the world – an Easter brunch without would be wrong ;P For this reason, we always have brioche or something similar for Easter. This year, we took inspiration from a »neighboring« country (well almost) and baked a delicious (Streusel) Hot Cross Bun Wreath. Similar to our Easter bakes but still slightly different ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
