Have breakfast with Grandmother Bread! My classic Egg Grandwich–toasted, buttered Grandmother Bread, fried egg, and your favorite cheese (with or without peppered bacon, sliced ham, or a big sausage patty)–is the most requested breakfast on the farm, but if you’re in the mood for something wildly decadent…..
We can do that, too! It all starts with great, big, wonderful slices of Grandmother Bread.
Get the mother of all bread recipes here. If you’ve never made homemade bread before, learn how to bake bread, and be sure to read the family history behind Grandmother Bread. I grew up with Grandmother Bread and have been making it since I was a little girl. With Grandmother Bread at your fingertips, you can do flips, cartwheels, and leap tall buildings. Okay, that’s not true, but you can make some really rockin’ breakfasts!
Like…. Stuffed French Toast! Thick slices of Grandmother Bread stuffed with cream cheese, soaked in sweet, milky eggs, fried to golden perfection and smothered in whipped cream, strawberries, and syrup. Heaven!
Printer-FriendlyHow to make Stuffed French Toast:
thick-sliced Grandmother Bread
6 ounces softened cream cheese (plain or strawberry-flavored)
butter
5 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
powdered sugar
whipped cream
sliced strawberries
maple syrup
Using thick slices of Grandmother Bread, cut a pocket into the top of each slice. With a butter knife, stuff each pocket with cream cheese.
Stack up your stuffed slices.
Does that look good already or what?
Whisk eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Soak slices one at a time, on each side, in the egg/milk mixture, then fry lightly on each side in hot butter. I like to dash some extra cinnamon-sugar on top while it’s cooking. Transfer to a plate.
Top with powdered sugar, whipped cream, and sliced strawberries then load on the maple syrup! This recipe makes enough for approximately six slices.
This bite’s for you!
Then try Cheesy Poached Eggs! Not your ordinary poached eggs–these eggs are poached in a cheesy-milk mixture and put to bed on a toasted slice of Grandmother Bread.

How to make Cheesy Poached Eggs:
toasted, sliced Grandmother Bread
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
1 cup shredded Cheddar or Swiss
6 ounces cream cheese
1 cup milk
Toast bread slices. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cheeses and milk. Stir till melted. Crack eggs one at a time in a small cup then pour into the cheese/milk mixture in the pan. Cook, covered, three to five minutes depending on how you like your eggs. Using a spoon, lift each poached egg from the pan and place on top of a toasted slice of Grandmother Bread. Top with more cheese mixture from the pan and sprinkle on coarse ground black pepper and/or chives.
And one more breakfast treat (pictured below)–the quick standby, Cinnamon Toast! Spread butter on sliced bread, dash on the sugar and cinnamon, and pop it under the broiler for a couple of minutes for the hot, sweet, gooey goodness that is made even better because it’s made with Grandmother Bread.
It’s a challenge around here, I tell you, a challenge.

Breakfast at your house! LOL
My Sweetie makes me bacon and toast every Sunday Morning. I think I like it best because I don’t have to cook it myself!

*DROOL*
makes me wish I didn’t have to skip breakfast during the week.
With out a doubt my favorite thing for breakfast is french toast!
Followed closely by pancakes,use the mix but instead of water I like to use Simple Orange OJ!
Gives the pancakes a little bit different flavor, and I likes it.
Thats about as creative as this guy gets with breakfast

You are seriously going to turn your farm house experience and knowledge into a non-fiction book, right? A big, hardcover one with lots of great pictures! (Especially of the chickens!)

I do like big, fattening, high-cholesterol breakfasts, but of course don’t eat them anymore, or *very* rarely. Pancakes, crepes, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries — love them all. But most of us don’t plow the fields from sun-up to sunset anymore, so we can’t eat like that.

I don’t know if you’re wonderful for posting all these great pics and recipes or evil for tempting me with great food.
Right now I’m voting for evil because even though I need to go sit at my computer all day (which is so awful for the waistline, anyway) I want that french toast!
Seriously, though, I totally love your pics and recipes. Your blog is a great way to start the day. (And if my waistline suffers I have no one to blame but myself).
Hmm, I suppose I could have the french toast if I walk five miles later? Yes, that works!

My favorite breakfast: Potatoes, eggs, bacon, heavy on the taters….It’s a weekend staple, and sometimes dinner in mid-week, or lunch if I’m pressed for ideas, and maybe a weekday breakfast if we’re out of cereal…

Upside to all this cooking is that they are full for a long time, and I can escape into the round pen.

I love regular french toast, but Wren & Mr Bump won’t have a bar of it… Maybe I can change their minds with this recipe.
And if I can’t, then WonderHubby & I will just have to try and eat it all ourselves.
