Breakfast with family

I had my mother/father and grandmother in law over for breakfast. It was not very healthy at all and I definitely won't make it often. Maybe make it a Christmas morning tradition or something.I'm going to look for ways to make it healthier, as well.

Yes lots of butter! Got the recipe from food.com but changed a few things.
  •  8Tbsp Woodstock unsalted butter
  • 10 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4Tbsp water
  • 2tsp cinnamon
  • 16 slices hearty whole wheat bread
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 4tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4-1/2 cup diced walnuts
  1. Melt butter in large skillet and add apples.
  2. Cook and stir for 10 minutes.
  3. Add brown sugar, water and cinnamon and continue to cook for 20 minutes.
  4. Spoon mixtures into two baking dishes.
  5. Beat eggs then add milk and vanilla extract.
  6. Dip bread into milk mixture and place on top of the apples.
  7. Pour the rest of the milk mixture over the bread.
  8. Cover and refrigerate over night.
  9. While preheating to 375 degrees top the casseroles with walnuts.
  10. Bake uncovered 35 minutes. Next time I will bake for 45-60 minutes.
  11. Let stand 10 minutes and then flip over on a cookie sheet and cut.









I didn't get a picture of the finished product but there are some left overs in the last picture. I also made a turkey sausage, spinach, shredded swiss and cheddar cheese and egg casserole.

I cooked 2lbs of turkey sausage links the night before. Chopped them in smaller pieces and placed in a baking dish. Wilted the spinach and placed that on top of the sausage. Topped with some Swiss and cheddar. Added 12 beaten eggs and topped with more Swiss and cheddar cheese. Baked it at 375 for 45 minutes.
