The NEATEST Kid Cooking Idea (Breakfast)

[CookbookCarrie]

I just found the following on momsmenu.com...quite an interesting site and has lots of cute ideas. I'm going to try this tomorrow am! I'll let you know how it works:

"Snackmaster Turnovers
If you have a "snackmaster" or "sandwich maker", you can make these really fast. Just butter up to piece of bread, and add a filling. For breakfast, we like to put in a beaten egg and some cheese, with chopped veggies optional. You can use sweet fillings too, such as pie-filling, but I would recommend those as snacks or desserts instead of as breakfasts.

We've even done these as bacon, egg, and toast pockets. These "breakfast sandwiches" are hot and delicious, and only take a few minutes to make. The egg will cook right in between the bread. It usually takes a few minutes. Precook the bacon in the microwave, or use bacon bits. You could also try lunchmeat in these, or make an italian version with some pepperoni and tomato sauce. Voila! Breakfast Pizza Pockets! "

Please do let us know! I'll tell you that I did try to cook an egg in mine once without success. Mainly, I think, I didn't let it sit long enough.

I just bought some sugar free pie filling, so I might try it with that. Hum...

Now I'm hungry

I wonder if you're supposed to put the buttered side in or out? What do you think?

The butter goes out..When I was a kid we had a sandwich maker and did these alot. Don't know how eggs works out though, all we ever did it with was ham/turkey and cheese.

Well, I tried this this morning....it was great. I used 2 pieces of bread, butter side out and pushed the bottom piece of bread down just a bit to pour the egg in....slapped the top piece on and shut it....just make sure not to overtoast. I think I'll add a piece of cheese or ham.
