Fast, Easy, Cheap: Breakfast Recipes for College
May 2nd, 2008 Jamie
Usually I just eat cereal & milk for breakfast, but on the weekend-or sometimes even for dinner-it’s fun to cook a bigger breakfast. Here are some fast, easy, and-most importantly-INEXPENSIVE breakfasts you can eat any time of day:
French Toast
Cost: less than $1 (for 4 slices)
Ingredients:
4 slices of wheat bread
1 large egg
2T milk
syrup
Note: You can use a George Foreman grill (or equivalent) by simply propping it up so the grilling surface is horizontal. This works great if you’re in the dorms or just in a rush!
Directions: Heat grill or stove top to about 350 degrees F. Whisk egg and milk together in a shallow bowl until they are well blended. If you like extra-eggy French toast, use 2 eggs instead of 1. Dip both sides of each slice of bread in your egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Place bread in heated frying pan/on a Foreman-style grill and cook until golden brown. If you are cooking in a pan, be sure to flip the bread so both sides cook evenly (if you’re using the grill, you can just lower the top!). For a little extra flavor, try sprinkling a little cinnamon on one side before grilling.
Yummy Egg Sandwich
Cost: less than $1
Ingredients:
1-2 eggs
salt
pepper
2 slices wheat bread or 1 English muffin
Butter or margarine
your choice of toppings
Directions: Heat stove top to about 350 degrees. Crack your egg(s) into a frying pan, and break the yolk; add a sprinkling of salt and pepper. “Fry” the eggs by cooking them like a pancake-let them cook until the edges get a little stiff, then flip-just be sure they cook all the way through. (You could also scramble the eggs if you prefer that texture. See how here.). Toast your bread (or English muffin) and butter it. Stack your eggs and toppings between your bread slices, or just eat your egg sandwich without any garnish.
Topping ideas:
bacon
tomato
salsa
grilled zucchini (its surprisingly good!)
sausage

Nothing better than a george foreman in college. I use to make grilled cheese sandwhiches with an iron. They actually were pretty tasty!

Like that movie Benny & Joon. They looked tasty (the sandwiches, not the people).
