How do you make Halloween Monster Mash Breakfast Platter with Candy Edible Eyes step by step?
This fun Halloween breakfast is simple to put together. Follow these easy steps to create your monster-themed platter:
Step 1 — Prepare the egg mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2 — Sauté the vegetables
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 3 — Add the spinach
Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 4 — Cook the scrambled eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently to scramble, cooking until the eggs are just set. Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Step 5 — Arrange the platter
Arrange the cooked turkey sausage links, toast slices, and scrambled egg mixture on a large serving platter in a creative, monster-themed layout.
Step 6 — Add decorations
Add slices of avocado and cherry tomatoes to the platter for pops of green and red color. Use the avocado to create “monster faces” or “claws” if desired. Place candy edible eyes strategically on the platter to complete the spooky theme.
Step 7 — Optional finishing touches
Use a small amount of ketchup or tomato sauce to draw spooky faces, creepy mouths, or drips of “blood” on the toast or sausages.
