Easy Breakfast Recipes
Easy breakfast recipes that are kid-friendly are a must in home daycare. The typical daycare has children arriving at various times and school buses to get ready for.
Use the following easy breakfast recipes in your home daycare to create simple yet interesting meals the kids will love.
“Dipper” French Toast
You will need:
- 4 slices of French bread
- ½ cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cut each slice of bread into 4-5 even sticks. Mix together the milk and eggs, add cinnamon and sugar and mix again.
Dip bread sticks into the egg mixture and grill on a buttered skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until both sides are golden brown and let cool.
Put syrup into small cups and let the kids dip.

“Fruity Face” Cereal
This is one of those truly easy breakfast recipes. To make a plain bowl of cereal less bland and include some fruit in your breakfast, try this neat idea. Pour cereal (like Kix or Cheerios) into a bowl. Use a combination of fruit to make faces in the cereal before adding milk.
*You can use peaches, pears, strawberries, blueberries, apple, pineapple, or banana slices.
*Raisins and mini marshmallows can be used too.

- a layer of chopped frozen broccoli (thawed)
- a layer of 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Combine:
- 3 cups milk
- 5 beaten eggs
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Toss remaining bread pieces with a tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle over casserole.
Bake about 45 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool. Cut into squares.
