It might not come as a surprise to
many of you but at the Oaks Bed and Breakfast, we serve breakfast. While that might not be the case at some bed
and breakfast locations, we have always felt that part of the best guest
experience is around the breakfast table the next morning. Breakfast serves as our chance to get to know
our guests better and discover more about what brought them to Sulphur
Springs.
Many times, overnight guests are
passing through the area, and we want to make sure they do not miss out on the
experience that is Sulphur Springs. You
would be surprised how many guests have not made the journey downtown to
explore the square and step inside the glass bathrooms. Even on these cold winter days, that is a
must see stop while visiting Sulphur Springs and the Oaks bed and breakfast.
Before we say goodbye to our guests
or have a great day, we sit down to enjoy the first meal of the day
together. I for one can not continue on
my day without breakfast, as I’m pretty sure I would wilt away from
hunger. We always choose to serve a
hearty breakfast filled with great food and even better conversations. For your enjoyment, I want to feature my
favorite breakfast’s that we made and served our guests while in-house. This month’s favorite is our polenta stacks.
While this does take a bit of time
to create the end result is worth the time.
This meal can be made gluten free and dairy free if that is how you
choose to make it or need to make it. We
start off by preparing the polenta first, so it has plenty of time to cook and
absorb all the liquid to make it ready to eat.
Next, we start with spinach and
mushrooms. Gather more spinach than you
think you will need. Once it cooks down
the fullness of leaves will diminish, and you might find that you need more in
order to serve your group. Slice your
mushrooms and add in your favorite spices to flavor them so that they complement
the spinach and polenta.
Now you are ready to make your cream
sauce. You do not have to have cream
sauce to top your dish, this was an added layer I wanted to supply for looks
and flavor. I added parmesan into my
polenta and the parmesan cream sauce just pulled those flavors together on the
top. We poach our eggs directly into a
water bath and do not have a special pan to cook them in. However, you choose to make your eggs is up
to you. We add an egg for extra protein.
I stack each layer one on top of the
other starting with the polenta and work my way up with spinach, mushrooms,
egg, and sauce. Change your order up to
whichever way is more appealing to you.
We serve all our breakfast items with a homemade pastry, fruit and side
of sausage or bacon, if not already made into the dish.
We hope that you might give this
breakfast a try at home for your family or guests. Or book a night with us and make a request
for breakfast. We do fulfill requests
when guests ask. Enjoy and we can hardly
wait until next month to share with you our favorite meal we serve.
