Mill Rose Inn: Fruit and Cheese Delight

Are you tired of the same old breakfast fare? "Fruit & Cheese Delight", by Mill Rose Inn (Half Moon Bay, CA), provides a wonderful alternative to plain old eggs. While this simple recipe combines standard ingredients including milk, eggs, and cheese, the result is extraordinary! Topped with cream cheese and either fruit or fruit preserves, this dish will definitely awaken the senses and provide the perfect start to your day. And as a bonus, the leftovers make easy blintzes-rolled over in 1"x3" slices and topped with sour cream and fresh fruit.

Fruit & Cheese Delight

Serves 12

2 lbs Monterey jack cheese, grated
2 cups milk

2 cups flour
1 cup melted butter
