How To Make Cookie Cutter Egg Bread

Breakfast is one of the important meal of the day especially for kids going to school early in the morning.

When I was young, I used to skip breakfast because my mom gave me the regular and boring bread with peanut butter or KAYA ( coconut milk screwpine jam).

I understand that kids get bored easily with the same routine breakfast as I was a kid too.

Hence, I tried many different ways to prepare breakfast for my school age kids, making sure that they had nutritious, packed with energy and healthy breakfast before heading to school.

During weekdays, I gave them bread, oatmeal, cereal or pancakes with soya milk or calcium fortified milk at 5am in the morning.

The school bus comes to pick up at 5.45am daily.

However on weekends, when we are not rushing to get kids out of the house in the morning, I like to make hot cocoa, coffee or tea with American breakfast ideas which would take 30 minutes to prepare.

One of my kids favorite weekdays breakfast recipe is Cookie cutter Egg Bread which is different from Heart Shaped Egg Bread that I had posted at my Hubpages site.

You could try both of these healthy bread recipes for breakfast which takes 10 minutes to get ready on the table.

How to prepare Cookie Cutter Egg Bread

If you are trying to attract your kid to eat his breakfast with a happy face, try this Cookie Cutter Egg Bread.

Use different cookie cutter to produce different cut out bread by stamping the cutter into the wholemeal or white bread.

Use butter instead of oil to toast the bread, less oil and toast just nice, brownish and crispy.

Use Grade A egg for this recipe. Just crack one egg, you could produce 6-10 egg bread in a frying pan.

Which taste better, White Bread Vs Wholemeal Bread

Honestly, wholemeal bread taste better than white bread in terms of eating on its own.

White bread does not have any nutritional value but if you spread jams, peanut butter or butter, it taste better.

In addition for egg bread dipping, it taste better with white bread as it soaked up the egg content better than wholemeal bread.

Wholemeal bread is a healthier choice for breakfast but not an ideal choice for egg bread.

Wholemeal bread is packed with wheatgerm, bran, nuts and sesame seeds which is unable to soak up the egg content.

Hence, when you toast wholemeal bread with egg, you could not taste the egg flavor.

Only white bread could absorb well the egg and produce fragrant egg flavor, crisp sides and super delicious.
