Easy breakfast toast recipes for the entire family
There are just so many different variations of breakfast toast. From simply spreading peanut butter to intricate sandwich combinations, toast is a versatile and quick go-to breakfast option. Looking for a refreshing alternative to your usual sandwich spread? Here are six quick and easy breakfast toast recipes you can try out in the comfort of your own kitchen.
1. French Toast with Kaya Cream Cheese
Give sweet kaya an added boost of creaminess with cream cheese. The sweetness of kaya may be overpowering; add a generous dollop of cream cheese to help cut the sugariness. Put all that between buttery French toast and you’ve got a luxurious breakfast that is fit for any occasion.
Yield: Serves 4
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
8 slices bread
¼ cup kaya
2 tablespoons PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese
6 eggs
1 cup milk
½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, mix kaya with PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese.
2. Prepare the French toast mixture by whisking eggs and milk together.
3. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.
4. Melt butter in a nonstick frying pan. Place bread slices and cook on medium heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Generously spread the kaya and cream cheese mixture onto a slice of French toast, put the second slice on top, then slice diagonally and serve.
2. Cream Cheese Omelette Sando
Eggs and bread are one of the best ways to start the day. Give a touch of elegance to the regular omelette by adding creamy PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese to it. The cream cheese melts beautifully to give a rounded creaminess to the soft eggs. The trick here is to make sure the eggs don’t overcook and solidify. Make sure to watch the heat, and don’t be afraid to take the pan off the stove if the eggs look like they’re about to burn.
Yield: Serves 2
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 slices toasted bread (crust removed)
3 eggs
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese
½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and salt until the eggs are properly mixed together.
2. Melt butter in a large non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Pour egg mixture when butter starts foaming.
3. Scramble eggs rapidly with a spatula while breaking up the curds and scrapping the side of the pan.
4. Stop stirring when eggs are scrambled and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
5. When the eggs have thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, add PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese, spreading it evenly around the egg.
6. Carefully fold the omelette from one end to another.
7. Cut the omelette into half and sandwich it between two slices of bread and serve.
3. Smoked Salmon Pate
Toast does not need to be boring. Jazz it up by blending smoked salmon together with PHILADELPHIA Spreadable Cream Cheese and heavy cream.
