Want the kids to help out? They will have fun using cookie cutters! This recipe calls for a heart cut out right in the middle of the toast. It’s a pretty detail…and the kids will enjoy watching the egg cook inside. Include jam and all the fixings to go along with it.
Ingredients:
- 1 piece of toast
- 1 heart cookie cutter
- 1 egg
- 2 strips of bacon (optional)
Instructions:
- Find a 2-3 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut the center of the toast with it.
- Heat butter in a pan and place toast and heart cutout in. Wait for one side to brown.
- Turn the toast and cutout over to brown the other side.
- Carefully break an egg into the empty heart toast and cover the pan.
- Cook until the egg turns white and solid. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the egg is to your liking, turn heat off and serve.

- Bake for about 25 minutes at 350F.
- Remove carefully and serve.
A really quick and easy thing to whip up is toast with fresh avocado. We decided to slice ours, but you can also mash it with their favorite spices or herbs.

Ingredients:
- 1 avocado
- 2 pieces of toast
- 1 pinch of crushed red pepper

Who doesn’t love a fresh bagel in the morning? There are many ideas for bagel toppings. If you prefer to keep it simple, a nice jam, fruit or even savory meat like prosciutto will do the trick. Don’t forget, brunch simply isn’t the same without a fresh glass of champagne and chocolate dipped cherries.
Ingredients:
- Bagel
- Cream cheese
- Lox
- Red onions
- Capers
Instructions:
- Cut your favorite bagel in half.
- Place bagel in toaster.
- Remove and wait until it cools off. This will prevent the cream cheese from melting.
- Spread the cream cheese (add as little or as much as you'd like).
- Layer on the lox.
- Top with red onions and capers.
