Comments

FOOD TIP: Soft “white” breads tend to get mushy. Stale or day old bread works better - or toast it. Whole grain is best.  Substitute gluten-free if needed!

PERFORMANCE RATING: 6/6

Out of this world! Great way to start the day. Get your kids to help you. Teach them how to break the eggs, mix in the milk and seasonings and dip the bread. For families who shy away from eggs, this is an easy and delicious way to bring these invaluable nutrients into their diet.

A 6/6 Performance Rating is a powerful breakfast combination, especially on a school day. This breakfast takes minutes and is far better for them than those frozen versions. Fresh is best. You are going to love it too!
