Pâte à Choux















One morning, I felt like making something sweet and interesting for breakfast. Breakfast is our most ordinary meal of the week. We eat the same thing, really, every weekday morning - raw oats with ground flax seeds, walnuts, and honey that we make for ourselves since we have different morning schedules. That's a nice way of saying that I sleep in:) On weekends, usually on Saturday mornings after the farmer's market, John makes breakfast for us with fresh eggs that we pick up there - an omelet or just over-easy eggs with toast from bread baked that morning and purchased at the market. yum!
So this morning, I felt like making something dessert-like, who knows why! I want to make doughnuts soon, but with the ingredients on hand, I was able to make pâte à choux - pastry with filling inside. We used jam and chocolate as our fillings, but next time, I will definitely fill them with cream, the more traditional route. See below for some pictures of our very sweet breakfast. We enjoyed these with some strong coffee.
