BLT Breakfast Sandwich

Nothing screams "breakfast" quite like a pair of hot, crispy bacon pieces. This dish elevates breakfast to a new level by using fresh sliced tomato and avocado, as well as a fried egg. To begin, sauté two slices of gluten-free bacon and an egg until done, seasoning with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Following that, toast two pieces of gluten-free bread or rolls and cover each slice with mayonnaise. To construct the sandwich, place a few slices of fresh avocado and tomato on the bottom half of the bread, followed by the bacon, egg, and fresh lettuce. Cover with the remaining sandwich roll half or slice of bread and enjoy!

Muffins with Buttermilk and Blueberries

These buttermilk blueberry muffins are a breeze to make, and, even better, the leftovers keep for the whole week. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Separately, mix ten tablespoons of softened butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and two eggs in a separate dish. Alternately beat in the dry ingredients and 3/4 cups low-fat buttermilk, then mix in 1/2 to 1 cup blueberries. Pour batter into muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Breakfast Sandwich with French Toast

Are you unsure whether to order French toast or a breakfast sandwich? You don't have to choose one or the other with this delectable dish! Begin by scrambling or frying one or two eggs to your preference and setting them aside. Next, whisk up another egg and a teaspoon of milk and brush the mixture over one side of two pieces of gluten-free bread, taking care not to over-saturate them. Cook with butter to brown on both sides. Assemble the sandwich by layering slices of ham and cheese on top of cooked eggs on (gluten-free) bread.

Quinoa is a nutrient-dense gluten-free grain that is suitable for any meal of the day. You'll savor delicate quinoa scented with fresh apple and cinnamon in this recipe for a warm, filling breakfast bowl. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cups milk with 1/4 cup dry quinoa, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a sprinkle of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, adding 1/4 cup of chopped apple.
