Farmhouse Breakfast
hearty morning fare for that chill in the
air
  
|
Country Ham and
Cheese Omelet
Nothing beats the taste of farm-fresh eggs for breakfast.
|
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten |
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup apples, diced
3/4 cheddar cheese, shredded |
|
Combine flour,
sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Combine the
egg, egg yolk, milk and oil in a medium bowl; add to flour mixture and
stir just until moistened. Gently fold in the apples and cheese.
Divide batter among three greased 7 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 2" loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees about 40 minutes, until inserted toothpick comes out
clean. Cool about 10 minutes and remove from pans. When
completely cool, wrap in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. |

If
you've never been apple picking, go...it's a memorable family outing.
Children are amazed to see rows upon rows of stocky apple trees, laden
with fat, juicy fruit. Many of the branches are well within a
child's reach, and many of the ripe apples are just the right size for
little ones. You won't find that hard, waxy texture on an apple
right off the tree, either. Take a picnic lunch and make a day of
it, with freshly picked apples for dessert.
