How Do You Toast Bread Without A Toaster?

No toaster? No problem. One less appliance for you.
May 20, 2013 1:31 pm

Sometimes you need toast and you don't have a toaster: it's one of those simple facts of life. Why would you need toast? Uh, eggs? All the other stuff that's just better on and/or with toast? No more questions, let's get down to business.

This recipe for French toast from Top Chef's Richard Blais uses buttery brioche for an extra-rich brunch experience. Use long cinnamon sticks to skewer them and infuse with extra cinnamon flavor. Following the food on a stick theory, these are better than any kind of regular French toast we can think of. Mmm. The recipe, after the jump.

I'm particularly proud of the Smashed Potato Bomb, as I am with Quesadillas Benedict, because I made it up on the spot and it took exactly 10 minutes to cook. Well, that's not entirely true, I had a leftover baked potato from the night before, so that shaved off about half an hour. After you bake the potato (or if you use leftovers), it takes 10 minutes.    

If Cereal Mascots Were Superheroes

On breaks from slinging cereal, they save the world

 I don't know any superheroes. I do, however, know some other heroes. They're friendly. They're outrageous. They encourage me to eat a complete breakfast. They're the mascots for breakfast cereal and as Defenders of the Most Important Meal of the Day, I think they're all superheroes. Let's meet The Milky Marauders.

Sunny-Side Nachos Recipe

Fried egg nachos are our new favorite brunch dish
May 4, 2013 10:01 am

There's no better place for a nachos cookbook than the shelves of the Food Republic library, and no better time for nachos than brunch. That's something we learned after making these Sunny Side Nachos, and we're better people for it.

5 Breakfast Potato Recipes For Those Eggs

Eggs and potatoes for brunch today. Do it.

When it comes to eggs, toast only thinks it's king. Everyone knows a pile of potatoes soaks up runny yolk just as well, and there's no such thing as a toast galette with sage or toast and sausage hash. That's preposterous. So knock out a batch of potatoes before the eggs hit the pan, be they fried, scrambled, poached or otherwise and have a great brunch.

    There's nothing like simple French food cooked in a tiny Paris kitchen, which is why we're loving cooking our way through Rachel Khoo's aptly named Little Paris Kitchen. Just because the French don't "do brunch" like we do doesn't mean a great weekend breakfast can't get a little fancy. Next up, Croque Madame Muffins.

    The only banana bread recipe you'll ever need

    Banana bread is perfect for breakfast or lunch. It's also a great way to use bananas that are brown and spotty, rather than just throwing them in the garbage. I like to double this recipe and make a big batch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, that way I have a slice for every day of the week. Serve banana bread warm with a pat of butter, or dollop of cream or yogurt.
