Christmas Breakfast

Recently, breakfast has become my favorite meal.  I have always hated it because I didn't like milk, eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, waffles, or most cereals.  Now I am obsessed with farm fresh egg whites, they are so good!  So in the holiday spirit I bought a mini pancake maker with santa shapes on it, this lead to the BEST breakfast ever!  For Christmas eve we made a soy and seitan roast and some vegan gravy, mmm.  We bought some cheddar from the farmer's market, some spinach, garlic infused olive oil, and of course, Smith farms eggs (they're the best of all of vendors).  So to start you make "crepes" which is a basic crepe recipe but the batter is poured into the mini pancake griddle so they are not thin like crepes, it may seem like this is just a pancake but the bland flavor makes these more versatile than regular pancake mixes.

BEST BREAKFAST EVER:

Whole wheat crepe cakes:
1 cup whole wheat flour
.25 cups almond milk
.5 cups water
1 egg white
1/8 tsp nusalt (or salt)
1 tbsp margarine, melted

Mix together the wet ingredients and then add in the dry, this should make a syrupy consistency batter, not watery or sticky.
Lightly oil pancake molds with garlic oil 
Pour 1/8 cup batter into each mini pancake mold
Flip with a butter knife when the sides darken/dry
Cook for a minute on the other side

Then you are going to scramble 2 egg whites and pour them into the 4 molds
Flip when there is not much liquid left on top of the egg
Cook for a minute on the other side

Before, during or after all of this you can steam some spinach, either by microwaving it with some water or even in the pancake molds if you don't want to dirty dishes.

Now you pile some spinach on one crepe, then the egg, lay down the cheese (gouda worked great too), then a strip of soy/seitan roast, then pour some gravy on top.
Put this in the toaster oven or microwave so that all of the ingredients are hot and it melts together.
Top with another crepe and voila, deliciousness.

Serve with coffee and a coffee companion (muffin, cookie, bread).
The versatility of the crepe can also be taken advantage of because they go great with some banana nut preserves or sweet and spicy chutney, this makes a nice side item.
We had roasted red potatoes left over from the night before so we threw those on the plate too.
