My husband pulls together breakfast for our family, but I like to help out by having some savory mini meals ready for him to reheat in the oven or bake fresh for the children come morning so that when they wake up, they have a warm, sometimes sweet, sometimes savory meal to start the day on an upbeat note.\nThe savory breakfast bites that follow are so convenient, you can have them ready within an hour, or even sooner if you bake them the night before and reheat them in the A.M. It beats pulling out the cereal box every morning and gives your family a chance to sit down together before dashing off in different directions. Most of the meals in this book can be prepped the day before and placed in the refrigerator, unbaked, until you are ready to bake them the following day. (I've specified if a meal should not be prepped the night before — some ingredients can get soggy!)\nMy children love the Apple Sausage Breakfast Cakes (this page) and the Egg Mini Muffins (this page) because they are filled with their favorite flavors. I love them because I wanted to find a simpler way to make breakfast using ingredients already in my pantry and freezer, staples that make meals better, faster, smarter, and tastier.\nMany of these dishes can be eaten out of hand, so a good breakfast is still possible on the busiest of days. And you have the benefit of starting your morning with something that doesn't come from a drive-through window. These mini breakfasts are a portable feast! Don't limit these recipes to just breakfast, either. An assortment of these mini meals makes a great brunch for a large gathering of people.\n\nApple Sausage\nBREAKFAST\n\u0026gt;CAKES\u0026lt;\nOVEN: 350°F (75C) \u0026gt; PREP TIME: 1 hour \u0026gt;\nBAKING TIME: 20 to 25 minutes \u0026gt; YIELD: 12 cakes\nAPPLES AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE in cornmeal cake look so elegant. This mini meal resembles pineapple upside-down cake or apple tarte tatin, but the variety of tastes and textures make it something completely different. Everyone has a favorite apple, but I suggest using Granny Smith because of its firm texture, which is retained after it cooks. As alternatives, use Pink Lady or Honeycrisp apples. The recipe for Maple-Glazed Apples makes about twice as much as you need, so you can bathe the Cornmeal and Currant Cake in as much of it as you like. I also love to use the apples as a topping for waffles or oatmeal, on toast, mixed with yogurt, or even just as a yummy dessert.\n\nFOR THE MAPLE-GLAZED APPLES\n1\/3 cup (75 ml) pure maple syrup\n1 tablespoon brandy\n1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon\n1\/8 teaspoon ground cloves\n1\/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg\nPinch of kosher salt\n8 large Granny Smith or other favorite tart apples, peeled, cored,\nand cut into 1\/4-inch (6-mm) dice\n\nFOR THE CORNMEAL AND CURRANT CAKE\n1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour\n1\/2 cup (80 g) yellow cornmeal\n3 tablespoons sugar\n2 teaspoons baking powder\n1 teaspoon baking soda\n1\/8 teaspoon kosher salt\n1\/3 cup (50 g) dried currants\n1 1\/4 cups (300 ml) whole-milk yogurt\n2 large eggs\n1\/2 cup (1 stick \/ 115 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled\n\nFOR THE ASSEMBLY\nNonstick cooking spray, for the pan\n3 tablespoon","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40151466606677,"sku":"9781617690198N","price":11.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/products\/savory-bites","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
