Egg n Cheese

For people out there looking for a quick and healthy breakfast, Egg n Cheese is the answer. Its creamy taste leaves you filling and wanting more for coming days.

This recipe was something that I picked from the Chinese eat out below our office. My hubby loved this, and so I went there and treated myself to one. I was surprised to see that it was a very simple recipe, yet the result was yummy. This recipe calls for freshly ground black pepper which adds a nice aroma to the egg and cheese combination. Moreover, for people looking for healthy breakfast you get 50 % of protein you need for a day from egg and loads of calcium from cheese. Recent studies have shown that calcium helps in decreasing weight, so weight- watchers, here is a breakfast for you.

Homemade White Bread

Bread always comes in handy, when I am lazy to cook an elaborate Indian Breakfast. And more over, I am a person who likes to eat a very light breakfast; I hate the idea of dozing in the morning’s at office. I decided to bake bread every weekend, so that I could use it for breakfast during weekdays.



Homemade breads are more filling and fresh, and they have a good smell. Not to say, you can always be proud while you eat it.

Homemade Bread

All purpose flour – 3 to 4 cups
Yeast – 1 tsp
Sugar – 1 tsp
Honey – 1 tsp
Salt – ½ tsp
Warm water – ¾ cup
Milk – ¾ cup

1. Take ¾ cup of warm water (not lukewarm but little hotter) add sugar into it and stir. Then add the yeast and leave it for 5 to 10 min until the yeast rises and foams up. Sugar acts as a food for the yeast, so add the sugar first then the yeast. This step is very important because if your yeast doesn’t rise up your bread doesn’t too. If your yeast is not rising even after 10 minutes, that may mean your yeast has gone stale, replace it with a fresh one.


2. In a large bowl, add the salt, honey and milk and stir in with the foamed yeast, so that they are blended well.
3. Add 3 cups of flour and mix and knead it to form smooth dough if the dough is a little bit sticky, you can add the a 1/4 cup of remaining flour slowly and mix until the dough is smooth.
4. Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil and place the dough in it. Place a wrap, and cover it with a wet towel and set it aside for 1 hour.

5. After an hour, we see that that the dough has raised nearly three times its size. So, it’s always important that the dough is placed in a very large bowl.

6. Take the dough and press it flat on a surface using your hand (see the picture below)and knead it for about 2 min. Then roll it and place it in a medium loaf pan. Place a wrap, and cover it with a wet towel and set it aside for 30 min.



7. The dough has risen in size again and is now is now ready for baking.



8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 25- 30min After 25 min you can check in, by tapping on the dough. It should give a hollow sound. That means it’s done. If the sound is not hollow, place the dough in again and check after 5 min.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Serves one medium loaf; but the recipe can be doubled as well.
