We are out of normal breakfast foods, so I had to improvise.

Last tablespoon of bacon grease Stick of butter 3/4 cup of flour Salt Pepper Fennel seeds Thyme Basil

Not sure if the kids will eat it on toast, but I thought it was pretty good.

The fennel seeds came off a bit strong.

      Yeah I still make toast but not toasted with butter lel that was pretty unhealthy but my grandmother would make it for me when I visited.

        I wouldn’t make it every time either, but it sounds nice. Reminds me of grilled cheese sandwiches. I have also made garlic bread that way with buttered sliced bread, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

          OMFG GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES those were the best. Years later I found a restaurant that made a great Welsh Rarebit and it was an interesting variation, unfortunately they later changed the recipe.

            I had to look it up. I could make a cheddar bechamel with lager, a bit of mustard, paprika, Worcestershire sauce. Not sure what else… I could put it on Texas toast.

              Wait, this is for kids? It’s always a little dicey cooking with alcohol for kids. I was once making vermicelli with onions and peas for friends when I realized I should have asked them if it was OK to serve their kids a sauce that was flavored with white wine.

                My kids are big, but I was sure that cooking removed most of the alcohol. I just checked, and it looks like the sauce would be about 2% alcoholic.

                I could get some non alcoholic beer. I’m looking for taste and not booze.

                  Yeah I also heard that cooking removed most of the alcohol, but some religions are strictly against consuming any amount of alcohol. Luckily my friends weren’t that strict.
