French Breakfast Puffs & Scrambled Eggs with Goat Cheese & Chives...

A nice sustaining breakfast of eggs

is a lovely way to start one's morning.

This (egg scramble) combines some

scrumptious ingredients....

fresh eggs, cream, goat cheese and chives.

These eggs pair nicely with a little something sweet too...

such as cinnamon rolls, coffeecake or breakfast puffs...

{yes, most definitely breakfast puffs!}

French Breakfast Puffs, fresh from the oven...

{Prior to being rolled

in butter and cinnamon sugar}

~The Recipe~

3 cups Flour

3 teaspoons Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg

1 cup Sugar

⅔ cups Shortening

2 whole Eggs

1 cup Milk

1-½ cup Sugar

3 teaspoons Cinnamon

2 sticks Butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside. In a different bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden. In a bowl, melt 2 sticks butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, coating thoroughly, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. {recipe courtesy: "The Pioneer Woman"}

Note: These puffs are best served

warm.... right out of the oven!

Now, unto the eggs...

Simply start by whisking in a large bowl...

16 extra-large eggs, 1 1/4 cups milk or half-and-half

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt & 3/4 tsp. black pepper.

Heat 2 T. butter in a large saute or omelet pan.

Add the eggs and cook them until the desired doneness, stirring constantly.

Crumble 6 oz. of goat cheese

and finely chop a couple of tablespoons of fresh chives...

Off the heat, add the 6 oz. of the crumbled

goat cheese, 2-3 T. chives,

and 2 tablespoons more butter.

Stir and allow the eggs to sit for 30 seconds,

until the cheese begins to melt.

Check for seasoning. Serve hot.

... Enjoy!
