Whenever I make crêpes – be it for a cake, a dessert or just with ice cream – there will tend to be a few crêpes leftover. Not wanting to just eat them with more ice cream 😛 I decided to make a savoury Egg and Cheese Crêpe Square instead, which takes less than 10 minutes to…
Breakfast & Brunch
Easy Crustless Quiche for One
Quiche is one of X’s of favourite brunch options on weekends, but for me to wake up early to make the crust, blind bake the crust and make the quiche filling for just one serving – I’d rather sleep in 😛 So to make my life easier and yet satisfy X’s cravings, I go for a crustless…
蛋餅 Dan Bing (Taiwanese Egg Crêpe Roll)
One of my favourite breakfasts while in Taiwan is 蛋餅 Dan Bing, a traditional and popular Taiwanese breakfast that many locals eat on a daily basis and travellers’ must-try food when in Taiwan. Beaten egg is fried on a hot plate and top with a thin crêpe (some call it pancake), then flipped over and…
No-Bake Peanut Butter, Chia and Oatmeal Energy Balls (Without Dates)
Craving moments happen to me quite often nowadays as I’m eating smaller portions during mealtimes. Instead of reaching out for that chocolate bar, or that bag of potato chips, or that cake with frosting that I just baked, I decided to make my own healthier snack – in the form of energy balls.
Homemade Freeform Pork Sausages (Without Casing)
Minced pork appear very often in our daily meals because they thaw easily (I always freeze them in 100-gram portions) and are extremely versatile – I use them in soups, stir-frys, meatballs… Whenever I stock up from our butcher, instead of getting the pre-ground minced pork (which are usually quite fatty), I will request for a separate lean…
30-Minute Easy Cream Scones
As part of my not-very-working diet regime, I have been eating homemade granola and chia seeds with Greek yogurt for breakfast/brunch almost everyday. But once again, I got a little sick of this breakfast (it’s good to have changes once in a while, no?) and I was so craving for something warm – hence these cream…
Vanilla Granola [With Nuts & Dried Blueberries]
![Vanilla Granola [With Nuts & Dried Blueberries]](https://i0.wp.com/www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DSC04112.jpg?resize=320%2C320&ssl=1)
I don’t have the habit of eating cereal since young hence after a few months eating granola for breakfast (see my peanut butter and chocolate ones), I stopped because I wanted a break from it. When the craving for granola came back again, I decided to make a different flavour of granola, just so I have new…
Chocolate Granola
Chocolate lovers, you are in for a treat today! After finishing my peanut butter granola, I decided to play around with the granola recipe to make a chocolate version – imagine having chocolate for breakfast – it’s perhaps the best way to start the day! P.S. This is a scheduled post as I’m currently away on holiday! Thank you…
Peanut Butter Granola
I love making my own homemade granola instead of buying store-bought ones because I strongly believe that it’s many times healthier – no preservatives or weird chemicals, no artificial flavouring, lower in sugar. While searching for new granola recipes to try out, I stumbled on a peanut butter granola recipe, just perfect to use up that leftover…
Julia Child’s Basic Crêpes Recipe (For Both Savoury and Sweet)
Crêpe is a type of French pancake that can be used for both savoury and sweet dishes. For savoury dishes, crêpes can be rolled up with a filling made of fish, meat or vegetables inside, spread with sauce and browned in the oven, or piled up like a lasagna and heated up in the oven. Sweet crêpes…
Nutty Granola
I am never a cereal-for-breakfast person. When I was a kid, my breakfast was usually 2 slices of bread filled with spreads like jam or peanut butter, prepared by my mom. During the holidays when we visited our maternal grandparents, I would start the day with 2 soft-boiled eggs laid by my grandparents’ hens, with a big cup…
Vanilla Buttermilk Pancakes
Pancakes are not to-go type of breakfast as it needs to be smothered with butter and drowned in pools of maple syrup, and since X is not a fan of them, I seldom make them in the past. But now that I have a lot of time on hand, I can have pancakes whenever I want. Yippee!…
No-Mixer Banana Muffins
Do you like bananas? Oddly enough, I don’t really fancy eating it on its own, but I love it when they are in banana cakes. The original plan was to bake a banana loaf / bread / cake, but I didn’t have enough bananas and I didn’t want to get another bunch as the price of bananas increased…
Oeuf en Cocotte (Egg Baked in Ramekin)
My friend gifted me a set of Julia Child’s cookbooks, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, several years back (she bought it during a book sale in Australia if I did not remember wrongly), but sadly I didn’t have a chance to make anything from the cookbook… until today! Well, like I’ve always said, better…
Brown Sugar Buttermilk Muffins
Say hello to my first bake after a 1-month hiatus! We received our shipment the day before and though I’m supposed to unpack all the clothes and stuff, I couldn’t resist unpacking my baking equipment first and whip something up in the kitchen. Even now as I’m typing this blog post, I still have a…

THB #23: Morning Glory Breakfast Cake
I’m quite late to post this bake, lucky the dateline is still not over yet! The bake this time round is chosen by Lena from Frozen Wings, and this is such a healthy bake! This is definitely not a difficult cake to bake – the toughest is probably the grating of carrot and apple! If…
Truffle Scrambled Eggs
You’d have probably seen this on my Instagram (follow me if you haven’t @foodiebaker!) Scrambled eggs was something that I cook pretty often for brunch in the past but it got quite boring – the sides were always sausages, mushrooms, toast, hash brown etc, so these days, I only cook it when I’m either cooking for…

Events like this motivates me to try out new recipes, thanks Zoe! The event this month…
Coffee, Chocolate and Raisins Muffins
I tweaked the recipe of my blueberry muffins to make some coffee, chocolate and raisins muffins. When the muffins were baking, the strong aroma of the coffee filled the whole house and it’s such a pleasant smell. The coffee taste in the muffins itself is very subtle, but I like it this way. Uber-coffee lovers,…
Perfect-Oh-Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Muffins are my new found favourites! Muffins are cup-shaped (and cute!) bread and are often served hot. Muffin is a term connected with “moufflet”, which means soft, and is it’s an old French word used to describe bread. Typically there are two types of muffins – American and English. American muffins are more common here…
A New Way to Scramble – Scramble the Eggs!
I thought I had the perfect recipe for scrambled eggs. But I was wrong. It’s not perfect, apparently, it’s wrong! In the past, I always add salt to season my eggs first and gave the eggs a damn hell of whisking before I start to cook them. Apparently it’s wrong. And I’m so, so sorry…
What I Want For Breakfast… Pancakes!
As a lot of people always say, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” I couldn’t agree enough. After a good night (or bad night) sleep, I’ll wake up – most of the time – feeling hungry. During weekdays, most of the time I don’t have enough time to prepare a proper breakfast…
