From time to time we need a lazy, easy dinner. I know that's pretty much a normal thing for me everyday! So I gave in and made a breakfast dinner. I loved these as a kid and I still do today. I like to bake my bacon to save room on the stove top. I just use a rimmed cookie sheet and a wire rack, but because I am so lazy I put foil under the wire rack so I don't have to scrub the cookie sheet. I bake it for about 18 mins on 400.
The next thing was that I was luck to have some lox in the house and Tarik had been sweet enough to pick up some bagels and cream cheese for breakfast that we didn't end up using that day. Those bagels were my inspiration for dinner. Of course we had to have eggs, I had some left over cheese so when they are almost done I threw the cheese in. I just love cheesy eggs, don't you?
We were blown away watching the kids eat bagels and lox, eggs w/red bell peppers! I was thinking that they wouldn't touch any of it.
Fancy Eggs: I did have one request-to learn how to make soft boiled eggs. We had them on our last day in Paris-they were AMAZING so I was up to the challenge or so I thought. I read about them and WOW is there some influencing factors that just suck trying to make that happen. And yes I wanted to start trying ASAP on that request so I tried it...a complete f.a.i.l.u.e.r But tomorrow is another day and eggs are pretty cheap. And Tarik got the "extra" egg for breakfast, lucky guy.
Even More Fancy Eggs: May I recommend eggs p repaired this way...over a double boiler. OMG they are so so SO tender and yummy. They do take some time but it's worth it in the end. Just keep the water at a low simmer, water not touching the top pot/bowl and just keep turning them w/a spatula. One side note-the bowl is a pain in the ass to clean if your using a glass bowl.
Kitchen Germ a Phobics, this is for you...to "de-germ" your kitchen sponge you should microwave a wet sponge for 2 minutes. Bacteria just loves a nice damp place to hang and grow-zap the little bastards I say!!!
Live Laugh Love,
