Leftovers are growing on me (as I mentioned in my Eggs on Leftover Taco Hash post). But sometimes you only have a little bit of something. Not enough to be eating off of it for the next week (or even the next day).
A quarter of an onion, a handful of noodles, 2 carrots...you can't make a casserole out of these things! Well, at least, not a sizeable one. But more on this later. I plan to blog about this when my Le Creuset baby casserole dishes come in (#IAMSOEXCITED!!!)!!!!
But that is what lead to me to make this breakfast.

| Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the breakfast of your dreams. Or maybe it's my dreams. Either way, this is some good sh*t. |
As per usual (shame on me!) I didn't record any measurements or times with this one. Everything is a guess.
Here is said guess:
-I peeled and chopped up a granny smith apple (my favorite), and tossed it with some brown sugar, a liiiittle slice of butter (a little goes a long way), and a hefty amount of cinnamon.
-Then, I layered the apple with some leftover brie that I had lying around. I made sure to slice the brie thinly as possible so it could have an easier time melting into the apple.
-I chopped up some almonds (there might be walnuts in there too...? dunno.) and tossed them with pure maple syrup, a little bit of honey, a little bit of brown sugar, and more cinnamon.
-After spreading the nut mixture on top, I popped it into my oven, heated to 350ยบ*, and cooked it until the liquid was bubbling.
THEN I ATE IT! Ah, it was good! I typically don't do sweet breakfasts...I usually crave bacon. Wait. AWESOME IDEA!!! I'm totally adding bacon to the top next time I make this.

* I don't remember how hot the oven was. But that's my default temp so it's a good guess.
This sounds delicious! Good idea with coming up with new recipes from leftovers!
