OVEN POACHED EGGS ~ CLASSIC GOOD EATS

I LOVE breakfast for any meal! It’s always comforting and these are so easy and soooooooooooo good too.

2 Jumbo eggs per person
1 tablespoon butter per person
2 slices bacon per person
grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Cook bacon until crisp. 
  • Melt butter and coat entire inside of ramekin or muffin tin. 
  • Break 1 egg (try not to break the yolk) in each ramekin or muffin slot. 
  • Salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until just set. 
  • Top each egg with a slice of crumbled bacon and then grated cheddar cheese. 
  • Bake another 3 minutes. 
  • Serve with chilled juice and toast.

RUM AND EGG NOG FRENCH TOAST

This is a perfect breakfast/brunch dish for the holidays!
Rum and Egg Nog French Toast
2 eggs
1/2 cup store bought egg nog

2 tablespoons spiced rum (optional)
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon plus 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg)
6 slices bread (I used thick french bread)

Directions:  Whisk together eggs, egg nog, rum and spices. Heat a griddle. Dredge bread in egg mixture.{I say that like I know what I’m talking about. For non-culinary peeps like me, “Dredge” simply means to dunk or soak something} Butter the hot griddle and place soaked bread on the griddle. Cook on each side until golden brown. Serve with butter and powdered sugar or syrup.

~The rum is optional. If you leave it out (like I did because it was just me and the kids tonight) then try adding 1/2 t. vanilla in it’s place.
Here’s what you will need:
Add 2 eggs and a good dash of cinnamon to 1/2 cup egg nog.  I didn’t have nutmeg so I just added a bit more cinnamon and whisked it altogether.
I dipped both sides of the bread into the egg mixture and then put it in the skillet until it was brown on one side and then flipped to brown the other.
When both sides were browned, I pulled it off the skillet and put sprinkled powdered sugar all over with a side of turkey bacon.

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND! & FARMER’S BREAKFAST

This is another one of those recipes that has floated around for so long that I have no idea what I tore it out of. The paper has yellowed, the edges look like they have been gnawed on, but the flavor is the same and perfect for a long lazy weekend!
FARMER’S BREAKFAST
1/4 cup butter
2 cups small cubed uncooked potatoes
1 large bunch green onion, sliced thin
1 cup cubed ham
6 eggs
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack/Mild Cheddar combo

  • Melt butter in cast iron pan.
  • Add potatoes and onions. Sprinkle with celery salt.
  • Cover and cook over a medium high heat, stirring occasionally until evenly brown and golden, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the ham and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low.*
  • Whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper and cream until well blended.
  • Pour egg mixture over ham and potatoes, cover and cook until eggs are almost set, about 10 minutes.
  • Occasionally run a knife of spatula around the edge to allow eggs to run down and not burn.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and cover again until cheese melts.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with toasted Oat Sunflower Bread.

*Using an electric stove, I switch burners and start with a cooler burner at this point since cast iron does not cool down as quickly. I like the cast iron though for the nice crisp edge to the potatoes.
