The CHEF TIPS:
- Contains milk (yogurt, cheddar cheese, and margarine) and wheat (flour). Margarine can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
- For breakfast, you can credit the grains or meats/meat alternates in this recipe toward the reimbursable meal.
- Meals as Teaching Moments: The cheese in the biscuit may not be easy for kids to recognize (visible) as a meat alternate component of a meal. Serving this biscuit in combination with another meat/meat alternate, such as lower sodium ham or an egg, may help kids learn about meats/meat alternates as part of a balanced meal.
- Meats/meat alternates may be served in place of the entire grains component up to 3 times per week at breakfast in the CACFP.
- The symbol indicates the recipe is whole grain-rich.
- Creditable grains contribution calculated using the Recipe Analysis Workbook, Method C.
