Two Easy Recipes

Here are two easy recipes we've made recently...

This toasted cheese is one of my favorites to make for lunch. It is especially good with garden fresh tomatoes and basil!

Toasted Cheese Sandwich
Bread (I use whatever I have on hand. I love it on crusty Italian bread or a sliced bagel)
Sliced tomatoes (any kind will work)
Basil (if I don't have fresh on hand, I use the dried)
Salt and Pepper
Cheese (once again, any kind will work. I like to use Provolone or a Monterey Jack/Cheddar mix)

Slice tomatoes thin and layer on slice of bread or bagel. Sprinkle with chopped or dried basil leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle cheese over the top and put into oven or toaster oven. Broil until cheese is bubbly.


This is our kids' favorite "breakfast for dinner". They love it with homemade freezer jam. We also love it with fresh berries and whip cream.

Hootenanny Pancake (aka German Oven Pancake)
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
fresh strawberries, sliced

Beat together eggs, flour, milk and salt for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees. Place 1/2 cup butter in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Put in hot oven just long enough to melt butter. Remove and pour beaten egg mixture into hot butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Pancake will "grow" up sides of pan. Cut into slices and top with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries, or maple syrup.
