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
Ingredients
Instructions
In a bowl, combine your ingredients! (Milk, Eggs, Butter, Sugar, Vanilla, and Flour)
Mix until a smooth consistency
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)
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
Can’t use eggs, milk, or butter? Check out this article for a vegan crepe recipe!

Buttery Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
Mix ingredients together in a bowl
Flour a surface. Flour the dough. Flour everything!
Knead the dough, folding and flattening repeatedly. Form it into a 1†thick square, rectangle or shape of choice
Cut into squares. Wrap in plastic/put in bag and put into the freezer until you want them
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!

Egg Scramble
Ingredients
Instructions
Cut mushrooms and onions (Pro tip: Cut the onions on the lines of the skin for a perfectly thin onion slice)
Crack egg and whisk together (If you do not have access to a whisk a fork works just as well!)
Set skillet on the stove and turn setting to medium heat
Pour olive oil on the skillet and wait until heated
Add whisked eggs, mushrooms, and onions and sift around with spatula until all the eggs are cooked
Serve on a plate and ENJOY!
This scramble is a simple, nutritious and delicious start to your morning!
And for those vegans out there, this vegan tofu scramble is a great alternative!
Take a break from studying this week and head to the Market to try out one of these breakfast recipes!
