March 28, 2025 Amanda Plott

When you think of French toast, your mind probably jumps immediately to the sweet side of the breakfast spectrum—maple syrup, powdered sugar, and perhaps a dusting of cinnamon. But what if I told you that French toast can not only be sweet but also incredibly savory, offering a delightful new way to enjoy this breakfast staple? Buckle up, taste adventurers; we’re making Savory French Toast!

The Savory Spin-off: Endless Possibilities

Now here’s the quirky part: Savory French Toast is just the tip of the iceberg! You can add in different cheeses (feta, anyone?), change up the herbs (basil, cilantro—is your imagination running wild yet?), or even add some spice with a dash of red pepper flakes.

Feeling adventurous? Turn it into a savory sandwich by adding layers of smoked salmon or roasted veggies between two pieces of this decadent toast. Who knew breakfast could be so fancy?…

Furikake Toast: A Whimsical Twist on Your Morning Routine

Furikake toast? Oh yes! It’s the breakfast (or brunch) that’s about to bring the party to your plate. Let’s dive into how this jazzy little dish combines health and flavor, turning your morning routine from mundane to magnificent.

What is Furikake?

Furikake is a Japanese seasoning that’s a little sprinkle of magic. Typically made from a mixture of dried fish, sesame seeds, seaweed, and other ingredients, it packs a flavor punch that will make your taste buds dance. It’s traditionally used on rice, but why limit it to just that? We like to think outside the bowl here!…

Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles

Who said waffles have to be sweet all the time? Not me! Ever since I got my new waffle maker a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been a waffle making fiend. Waffles today were savory, but more on the end of breakfast or brunch than my cornbread waffles from last week.

These Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles are exactly that. Standard protein waffle mix with spinach and cheese added in. They’re super tasty and go great with an instant pot poached egg and a drizzle of sriracha on top…

Cornbread Waffles

Sometimes playing with your food is just the right thing to do. As it turns out, making cornbread into the shape of waffles is a fun and interesting way to serve your cornbread. Especially when it comes to serving it with chili or a hearty bean soup!

And when I say these waffles are merely cornbread, I do mean it! I got a new waffle iron this past week and I decided to test it out with some waffle recipes that aren’t traditional waffles. With some chili stocked away in the freezer, I thought it would be fun to make some cornbread waffles to go with it. Sounds good, right?…

Savory Cheddar & Rosemary Thumbprints

February 6, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been toying with the idea of savory twists on classic sweets for a while now. And these Savory Cheddar & Rosemary Thumbprints just seemed to fit the bill this time around. I managed to get my hand on some local made roasted tomato jam and well… just couldn’t help myself.

To make these savory thumbprints, I used a mix of whole wheat white flour and semolina flour. I’ve never used semolina flour before, but it reminds me a whole hell of a lot of cornmeal. Maybe a little finer of a grain than cornmeal is all…

Savory Holiday Monkey Bread

December 10, 2018 Amanda Plott

I love monkey bread. I love that it’s a quick, easy, and delicious way to pack a lot more flavor into any traditional biscuit dough. Usually monkey bread is sweet and is made as more of a breakfast or even as a dessert. Such as my cherry pie version, or my pumpkin spice one! But, not much can beat the strawberries and cream monkey bread.

Today though, I was craving tomato soup and some crunchy bread. It’s chilly out and that traditional meal sounded very comforting. But then! I thought better of myself. Why make a boring plain old grilled cheese when I could make something drinkable, dipable, and fun instead?!…
