Breakfast Cheese Toast

My mother makes the best breakfasts! When I was little she would set a full table every morning. So it is no wonder she would run out of ideas for things that are different. I don't remember the first time she made this for us kids, but I do remember eating it often. And, I'm not sure if she learned this from someone else, or made it out of lack of anything else in the fridge.

All I know is, my siblings and I liked it. And now it is the favorite breakfast of one of my boys, Ryan.

Breakfast Cheese Toast

Recipe for 1 serving.

1 slice of bread
1 slice of American cheese
sugar

1. Preheat oven to 425.

2. Place bread on a cookie sheet.  Top the bread with the slice of cheese and sprinkle with sugar.

3. Bake for 5 - 6 minutes, until cheese melts, bread starts to crisp and sugar begins to harden.  Do not over cook, it will burn easily.

Cinnamon Toast

My mother makes the best cinnamon toast in the world!  And of course, she passed this secret recipe down to me.  Well cinnamon toast may not be such a secret, but the technique can set your toast apart. You choose, cinnamon flavored toast, or buttery toast topped with crackling cinnamon and sugar goodness!

Marla's Cinnamon Toast

Recipe for 1 serving

1 slice of bread; white, wheat or your favorite

4 pads of butter

cinnamon

sugar

1. Preheat oven to 425.  

2. Place bread on a cookie sheet.  Slice butter as thin or thick as you like and place on top of the bread.

3. Sprinkle cinnamon to completely cover the bread.  Use the crust as your border.....remember, stay inside the lines.

4. Sprinkle sugar liberally over the cinnamon.  It's ok to let the sugar mound up!

5. Bake 5 - 6 minutes, or until the edges of the toast is golden brown and sugar is bubbly.

Hooked on Pinterest!?!

I finally found Pinterest.  Most people I know that have found it are die-hard Pinners, or they are not.  I am one of those fair-weather Pinners.  The pictures all are so beautiful, that I thought there would be "no way" I could contribute original items.  Because, after all I would prefer to offer original ideas, as opposed to a "repinned" one.

To accomplish this, I felt it was neccessary to be more attentive to my blog.....adding new ideas, pictures, funny anecdotes...Wow! being original is way too much work!  So, I will do a little of both.  Not that it matters anyway.  I have only one follower.  Let's see if anyone is reading, Okay!
