Crunchy Breakfast Bake Recipes

BREAKFAST POTATOES {CRISPY OVEN BAKED}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in a mound in center of baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and onion powder. Toss well to evenly coat in oil and spices.
• Spread potatoes even into a single layer. Bake in center of preheated oven 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, toss and continue to bake until just tender, about 15 minutes longer.
• Move oven rack about 5-inches from broiler.
• Broil potatoes about 2 - 3 minutes until slightly browned (keep a close eye on them and don't walk away they can brown quickly!).
• Remove and toss, continue to broil until golden brown and crisp on opposite side a minute or two longer. Serve warm.

BRIOCHE BREAKFAST BAKE WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Tip about two-thirds of the blueberries into a baking dish (about 20cm x 30cm) that is quite deep. Dip each brioche piece into the egg mixture until well soaked, then arrange on top on the blueberries and pour any remaining egg mixture over the top. Scatter over the remaining blueberries. Cover with cling film and chill for 1 hr, or overnight if serving it for breakfast.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Uncover the dish and scatter over the pecans. Bake for 25 mins until the egg mixture is set and the blueberries are starting to burst. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with foil and arrange the bacon on top. When the brioche bake is ready, remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Heat the grill to high and cook the bacon for about 5 mins each side until crispy.
• Dust the brioche bake with icing sugar and top with the crispy bacon. Serve with extra maple syrup for drizzling.
