In this article, we give you five different flour and egg recipes which will satisfy all your breakfast cravings: two savory dishes, two sweet dishes, and one dessert dish. So if you’re ready to take your breakfast game to the next level, keep reading!

5 Best Flour and Egg Recipes

Flour is an essential ingredient in most baked goods. It’s also used to make bread, pasta, and dumplings. Eggs are found in many recipes as well like cakes and cookies. The following recipes are some of the best flour and egg recipes that use basic cooking techniques like baking, frying, or grilling.



1. Cheese and Eggs

Cheese and eggs is an age-old combination that is still popular today. This recipe is simple to make and you can use any cheese you like. The only thing required to complete this dish is a pan or a griddle, so you can make this recipe any time, even when you’re out camping!

Ingredients: – 1-2 tbs butter or margarine – 2 slices of bread – 1 slice of cheese (any type) – Salt and pepper

Directions:  

First, take one sheet of bread and place it on your pan or griddle. Then, put the cheese on top of the bread. You could also add some other toppings like cooked bacon bits if you want to experiment with your taste buds a bit.

Now, put the second piece of bread on top of the first piece; it doesn’t matter which side faces up as long as there’s enough butter or margarine in between them so that they don’t stick together.  Finally, flip the sandwich over so that the second piece of bread faces down on your pan or griddle.

Your egg should be ready in about 3 minutes (or less if you want your egg more runny).  Once it is, enjoy!

2. Pancakes

This recipe is great for when you want something sweet to start your day. Pancakes are great because they’re easy to make and can be eaten at any time of the day.  The best part about this recipe is that you can even make it when you’re camping!



Ingredients: – 1 egg – 1/4 cup milk or water – 2 tsp sugar (or brown sugar) – 1/4 cup flour – 1 tsp baking powder (optional) – Butter or margarine

Directions:  

First, start by mixing the egg, milk or water, sugar, and flour together in a bowl. Then, add in the baking powder and mix again until there are no lumps left.  Next, heat up a frying pan on medium heat and add some butter or margarine to it.  Now that your pan is hot enough, lower the heat slightly so that your pancakes don’t burn while they cook.  Finally, pour out small circles of batter into the pan; as soon as bubbles form on top of these circles of batter then flip them over.  Continue doing this until all the batter is gone, or until you’re ready to eat!

3. French Toast

This recipe is great for breakfast and it is simple to make. You can even make it on a hot plate or a griddle if you don’t have access to an oven.  The best part about this recipe is that you can use any type of bread that you like and it’s easy to personalize if you want to spice things up!

Ingredients: – 2 eggs – 1/4 cup milk or water – 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional) – 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional) – 4 slices of bread (any type)

Directions:

First, beat the eggs in a small bowl with the milk or water, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Then, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture so that both sides are coated evenly.



Finally, put your pan on medium heat and add butter or margarine to the pan so that it will cook evenly without burning.  

Once your pan is hot enough, place your slices of bread on top of it; flip them over when bubbles appear on top of each slice.

Continue doing this until all of the slices are done.

4. Omelette

An omelette is a great breakfast option because they can be customized to your liking. You can even make them on a hot plate or a griddle if you don’t have access to an oven.  The best part about this recipe is that it’s easy to make and it’s very filling!

Ingredients:

– 3 eggs – 2 tsp oil or butter (optional) – 1/4 cup cheese (any type) (optional) – 1/4 cup sliced vegetables (any type) (optional) – Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Start by beating the eggs in a bowl, then add in the oil or butter and mix again until there are no lumps left.

Next, add in your sliced vegetables and cheese and mix again; season with salt and pepper as needed.



Finally, heat up a frying pan on medium heat; add some butter or margarine to it if you want.

Once your pan is hot enough, pour out the egg mixture into the pan so that it covers most of it; once bubbles form on top of the omelette then flip it over.

Continue doing this until the egg is completely cooked.

5. Waffles

Waffles are a great breakfast option because they can be made in many different ways and they are easy to make in a short amount of time. You can even make them on a hot plate or a griddle if you don’t have access to an oven. The best part about making waffles is that you can add any type of fruit that you like and it’s easy to personalize if you want to spice things up!

Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups flour – 2 tbsp sugar – 2 tsp baking powder – 1/4 cup butter, melted (optional) – 3 eggs, beaten well – 1 1/2 cups milk

Directions:

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Then, beat the eggs in another bowl with the milk; add in your melted butter if desired.

Next, pour this mixture into your dry ingredients and stir until it is evenly mixed together; season with salt and pepper as needed.

Finally, heat up a frying pan on medium heat; add some butter or margarine to it if you want.



Once your pan is hot enough, pour out your batter into the pan so that it covers most of it; once bubbles form on top of the waffle then flip it over.  

Continue doing this until the waffle is completely cooked.

Brioche Hamburger Buns, Or Let’s Get That Grill Fired Up

Christiana George
brioche hamburger buns

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always viewed hamburger buns as purely functional things. They’re receptacles, carb-wrappers, so you don’t get your hands dirty while eating the truly desirable bits within. Cheese, for instance, and grilled onions, and sauteed mushrooms. Oh right, and the patty too.

Buns are integral to the entire structure of the burger, yet they’ve done little to niggle my desire, warrant my enthusiasm, or raise lustful thoughts (and shouldn’t they? Given their namesake and all). Until now, that is.

These buns—blogged about by Deb and later Sara—are dreamy: as in, they bake like a dream, come together in a cinch, and their ingredients can be found in most anyone’s pantry. They’re also versatile: I chose all-purpose, whole wheat, and rye flour to go in mine, and they came out hearty but light, soft but complex. But most importantly, they raise the hamburger bun to a higher echelon, one that will no longer be left until the end as an afterthought. And is there anything worse than forcing yourself to eat afterthoughts?



You’ll be ready to fire up your grill after making these.

Brioche Buns

BRIOCHE HAMBURGER BUNS

Adapted from Smitten Kitchen and Sprouted Kitchen
Makes 8 regular-sized buns

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp warm milk
2 tsp active dry yeast
2-1/2 Tbsp sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
2-1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
sesame seeds (if desired)

Directions:

In a glass measuring cup, combine one cup warm water, milk, yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about five minutes. Meanwhile, beat one egg.

In a large bowl, whisk the flours with the salt. Add the butter by rubbing it into the flour between your fingers, making crumbs. Stir in the yeast mixture and beaten egg until a dough forms. Scrape onto a clean, well-floured counter and knead (by scooping it, slapping it onto the counter, and turning) until smooth and elastic (8 to 10 minutes). It should be sticky, so try not to knead in too much flour.

Shape the dough into a ball and return it to the bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled (1 to 2 hours).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Gently roll each ball and arrange them 2 to 3 inches apart. Cover the baking sheet loosely and let the dough rise until doubled (1 to 2 hours).



Set a shallow pan with water in it on your oven floor or lower rack. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat the other egg with 1 Tbsp of water and brush the egg wash onto the buns. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if using. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes (turning halfway through), until the buns are golden-brown. Transfer to a rack and cool.

Note: I kept them in the fridge for about a week after I baked them and they still tasted good. Just heat them up on the grill or toast them right before eating.
