Gluten-Free Bread

Did you know that our trays make the best bread in the world?!  I have recently "gone gluten-free" and so I've been experimenting with different bread mixes.  Let me tell you, that using our Demarle At Home Loaf Trays makes this simple and certainly more delicious!  Give it a try!

4-Loaf Tray and Perforated Baking Sheet

for this one, I used "Gluten Free Pantry - Sandwich Bread Mix"

Easy Weekend Breakfasts

In the front, a French Toast Casserole.  In the back, a crustless quiche.

To make the French Toast - 

10 slices of Bread

6 eggs 

1 cup milk

1/4 cup syrup

3 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Tear up the bread and place in your Flexipan of choice (I used the Sunflower Mold here).  Make sure it is on the Perforated Baking Sheet.  Mix up the rest of the ingredients in the Mixing Bowl and pour over bread.  Make sure you press the bread into the egg mixture so that all of it is soaked.  (I love using one of the Set of 3 Spatulas for this.)  Bake for approx. 40 min.

For the Crustless Quiche:

Once the French Toast is in the oven, use the same mixing bowl to whisk up 8 eggs and throw in a cup of sour cream and/or cottage cheese with any veggies you need to use up (I put a cup (or two) of spinach in this one).  Throw in a cup or two of shredded cheese.  Place your favorite Flexipan Mold on the Perforated Baking Sheet (I used the Fluted Bundt Mold for this one).  Pour egg mixture into the mold. and bake with the French Toast until solid. (approx. 35 min.)

Serve with hot coffee, juice, and a plate of fruit and you'll be the star of the weekend!

Blueberry French Toast

I am taking this to my next brunch!  This coming Saturday!  Oh, it's so delicious!

2 1/2 cups cubed (1") french bread (or any bread)

4 oz cream cheese

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

8 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. sea salt (Bolivian Rose is my favorite!)

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Put Sunflower Mold on Perforated Baking Sheet.  Put the bread in the mold and spread evenly.  Cut cream cheese into small "pats" to be dispersed over the bread.  Top with blueberries.  In mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk.  Pour over bread mixture.

You can either bake this immediately or cover and place in fridge to bake the next day . . .

Cover with Octagonal Silpat and bake for 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered.  Mixture should be set in the middle.  Cool slightly and unmold.  Top with maple syrup or enjoy alone.

Apple Spice Pancakes

This is what happens at our house on a snow day . . . use what you have available!

2 cups Krusteaz Pancake Mix
1/2 cup oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large apple diced
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
dash nutmeg

Mix and pour into Flexipan Tray of choice (make sure the tray is on the Perforated Baking Sheet) - I used the Christmas Tree Tray.

Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 15 min.

East meets West for breakfast!

Okay, so this is one of those throw-together moments . . .

2 cans Pillsbury rolls (any kind)

1/2 lb lean ground beef (or sausage)

1/2 onion diced

2 Tbsp. oil.

3 eggs

salt to taste

cayenne pepper to taste

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup shredded cheese blend

Preheat oven to temp on Pillsbury can.  Fry the eggs scrambled in fry pan.  Set aside.  Brown the onion and ground beef.  Put all ingredients (except rolls) in mixing bowl and mix.

Place Flexipan Tray (I used the Medium Tartlet Tray) on Perforated Baking Sheet.  Wrap roll around meat mixture and place in tray.  Bake according to the Pillsbury suggested time . . . however, I always check a little sooner . . .

*Note:  The reason this is titled "East Meets West for Breakfast" is because there is a traditional dumpling in China called, "Baozi" that my family absolutely loves.  It's different in the fact that dairy products are never used in Chinese cooking, there's usually a vegetable included, and primarily pork is used instead of beef.  Oh, and who ever heard of a can of Pillsbury dough in China?

Quick and Easy!

Even if you don't have time for anything other than a pre-made mix (or can), just throw it in the Flexipans and you'll turn something "ordinary" into "extraordinary"!

This is a Pillsbury can of cinnamon rolls that I threw into the Rectangular Tart Mold (on the Perforated Baking Sheet - small, medium or large will all work).

Granola "Bars"

 

These home-made granola bars go quickly so you might want to double the batch!

Thank you to Kristi Weber for sharing this recipe!  She notes that this recipe can be gluten or allergy-free by substitution.

Ingredients:

1  cup ground oats (use food processor, Vita Mix, or Magic Bullet)

2 cups whole oats (old-fashioned works best)

3 Tbsp. melted butter

1/4 cup oil OR applesauce

1/4 cup honey OR brown rice syrup, maple syrup, etc.

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. salt

1 egg or egg substitute (1T freshly ground flaxseed/3 T water)

Directions:

Blend together all ingredients except oats.  Add oats and mix until completely blended.

At this point, you can divide the "dough" into two batches: one for pumpkin spice, and the other for the triple blend.

For Pumpkin Spice, Add:

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ginger

For Triple Blend, Add:

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup chopped or slivered almonds

(other variations can include: coconut, raisins, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, etc.)

Press portions into Flexipan Tray of choice (on the Perforated Baking Sheet) - I prefer the Medium Tartlet Tray.  Bake at 340 F for approx. 30 minutes.  

Cool completely in Flexipan Tray before removing to serve or store.

Another easy breakfast!

I set the oven at about 375 F and then broke an egg into each cup of the Round Tray (on the Perforated Baking Sheet).  Sprinkle with Sea Salt.  Those baked for about 10 minutes (or less - my oven is hot!).  At the same time, I put the English muffins on the Silpat to toast.  Some had butter and some had sprinkles of cheese on them.

So delicious!  AND FAST!

Crab Frittata

Thank you for sharing, Lavelle!

Hi everyone,

We’ve been talking a lot about eggs in the stainless and I have to tell you, I have never used as good a stainless as our Demarle Difference. The other night I made a Crab Frittata in the lg Gourmet Frying pan.

Preheat your pan on medium with a small amount of olive or butter (butter burns quicker, so I use oil); when your pan is good and warm, a little sizzle to it, pour in your beaten eggs. Cook until 2/3 set, do NOT stir. Check the bottom to see if the eggs have a little color to them; remove from heat and add whatever toppings you like. I used crab, sundried tomatoes, scallions, Demarle’s Herbs d’ Provence and parmesan cheese. Place pan under broiler in oven and watch closely. The eggs will finish cooking and the cheese will melt.

You can see how easily they slide out of the pan in the photo.

Bon Appétit,

Lavelle

What's for Dinner? Sausage-Egg Muffins

Okay, I'm pregnant and these sounded so delicious last night!! And they were! They are so much healthier than going through the Drive-Thru because there were no preservatives and it was fresh! The most fantastic thing is that all parts baked and finished at the same time so that the prep and the clean-up was a breeze! Serve with a salad or roasted veggies and you've got a complete meal!

Now, I did not measure for this, so please be brave and just dump and pour! I used the Round Tray (and Perforated Baking Sheet) to bake the eggs into a perfect portion size for the muffins!

Egg Mixture:
8 eggs
1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese of choice
cayenne pepper (optional)

Pour evenly into the six cups of the Round Tray and bake at 350 F for approx. 15 min.

Spread the English muffins out on the Silpat (and Perforated Baking Sheet) and place a Sausage Pattie on half of them - top each muffin with cheese. Set in oven while eggs are baking and remove when brown and at desired crispness. (Sausage Pattie can be frozen when placed in oven.)

A Brunch to Remember . . .

I just hosted a Spring Brunch at my home on Saturday and we had a delightful time! If you missed it, be sure to get on my mailing list for details on the next one scheduled at the beginning of June.



The following three posts describe the recipes and tools used to make these delectable treats!

Blueberry Yogurt Tartlets

These are adorable and light! It was shared with me by my upline, Shelley Hart, and I'm so grateful! I pre-baked the crust in the Mini-Tartlet Tray after cutting my dough out on the Roul'Pat (with Beechwood Rolling Pin) and using the small dough cutter and shaper. (I also pricked the bottoms with a fork so that they wouldn't puff up.) I baked it at 350 for about 14 minutes (until golden brown).



The filling is one part blueberry yogurt and one part whipped topping. I mixed that up with a spoon and put it in our pastry bag. The fun part was piping it into the shell and garnishing with fresh blueberries.



My kids loved it too! . . .

Braided Bread

I still can't believe that this gorgeous loaf came out of my kitchen! See! You can do it too!
