Breakfast Recipes from the Village Market

Need a new recipe to cook with ingredients you can find on campus? Last Sunday, Spoon University cooked some easy and delicious breakfast recipes after taking a quick trip to the Market! Breakfast can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or (my favorite) for dinner, so check out these simple recipes that you can cook anytime. 

Sweet or Savory Crepes

• Prep Time:5 secs
• Cook Time:5 secs
• Total Time:10 secs
• Servings:0
• Medium

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Flour
• 4 Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons melted Butter
• Honey optional
• Vanilla extract optional

• Step 1

  In a bowl, combine your ingredients! (Milk, Eggs, Butter, Sugar, Vanilla, and Flour)

  

• Step 2

  Mix until a smooth consistency

  

• Step 3

  Coat a frying pan with nonstick spray or a little butter, and then add as much batter as you want for your crepe size! (We used about 1/4 cup of batter)

  

• Step 4

  Turn the pan from side to side so that the crepe is an even circle and cook over medium to low heat for 1-2 minutes per side (or until as crispy as you like)

  

The best thing about crepes is that you can customize them with all your favorite toppings and go for either sweet or savory! Wondering how?

Sweet ideas: Peanut Butter, Nutella, Cinnamon and Sugar, Bananas, Strawberries, Chocolate Chips, Brown Sugar and Apples

Savory ideas: Cherry tomatoes, Avocado, Brie and Apples, Mushrooms and Onions, Ham and Cheese

Buttery Biscuits

• Prep Time:10 secs
• Cook Time:20 secs
• Total Time:30 secs
• Servings:8
• Medium

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups Flour
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 2 cups heavy cream 1 pint or 2 cartons from the Market

• Step 1

  Mix ingredients together in a bowl

  

• Step 2

  Flour a surface. Flour the dough. Flour everything!

  

• Step 3

  Knead the dough, folding and flattening repeatedly. Form it into a 1” thick square, rectangle or shape of choice

  

• Step 4

  Cut into squares. Wrap in plastic/put in bag and put into the freezer until you want them

  

• Step 5

  To bake, put the dough squares on parchment/paper towels on a baking sheet; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 18-20 minutes

  

**If you’re feeling daring and/or impatient, you can instead microwave them at 80% power for ~3 minutes-- however, they turn out softer when oven-baked. Be careful not to microwave for too long!

The best thing about these biscuits is that they’re easy, storable, and they taste just like the ones from a restaurant!

Want meat and cheese in your biscuit? You can make your biscuits with bacon, egg, and cheese!
