For the past year I've been very frugal with our food budget - alright as frugal as I can possibly be which is to say some months I'm better than others. I cut out as many processed foods as I could which sadly included cereal and bread. Although I occasionally add a box or two of cereal and a couple of bags of bread to the grocery cart, more often than not breakfasts around here include oatmeal, pancakes, eggs and shakes. I make most things from scratch now which benefits us on two levels: better food choices and a smaller grocery bill.
When we have sliced store bought bread I love making eggs in a basket. Cute, convienent and delicious, this is my favorite way to eat over easy eggs.

| Mmmm...toasty! We use the cuts outs to dunk in the yolk. |

| A dash of salt and a sprinkle of pepper and I am good to go! |

I'm glad you call them "eggs in a basket"." My mom used to make these for me all the time but as I left home and went out into the world, I learned people call them all manner of things. The worst is "frog in the hole". Are you kidding me? That's not the name of something edible.
ReplyDeleteI've heard "toad in a hole" as well. Just seems a bit creepy to me. I'm fairly certain I would never have eaten them or tried them at all if the first name I learned for it had an amphibian in it!
DeleteWe call them eggy bread in my family :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! We do a version where you put the whole slice of bread in a muffin tin and drop the egg in the center and bake. no name for it, though :)
ReplyDeleteI saw a recipe for an omelet in a muffin tin that I've been wanting to try - I think the base is a piece of bread. Hmm. Sounds good!
DeleteThanks so much for dropping by my hammock recently! It meant a lot. By the way, you outta consider joining in on the give-away! Would love for you to be a part!
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is a cool idea! I know Hubs would love it. I am going to try that next week! Very cool!
They are so delicious! I feel like I should burst into some sort of Green Eggs and Ham recital to encourage people to try them!
DeleteWe are non-eggetarians here but I enjoyed the pictures.
ReplyDeleteAre you allergic or just don't like them?
DeleteWe don't eat eggs by choice of lifestyle.
