If you're as bad at frying eggs as I am...then you may not be eating much more than a scrambled version of these protein nuggets...because is so much easier.
Welp...here's how I've started cooking eggs for my breakfast recently. I'm working on doing the Paleo-ish diet {I say ish because there is no diet worth giving up cheese} and eggs are a HUGE fantastic form of protein and they are small and easier to digest and way cheaper than meat.
Farm fresh eggs are the way to go if you know where to look. The web is your friend here or even your local Extension service...they can point you to local markets or even local chicken owners. There's even one up here in Seattle! Farmers markets are also great, though tougher to find in the winter months.
Why farm fresh?
A) It supports the local economy
B) You know what went into the egg makers {aka chickens}
C) If you have kids, it starts teaching them to be aware of where their food comes from and how important proper nutrition is.
Ingredients
- one egg
- one piece of bread
{I know that wast totally mind blowing}
- Cut a hole in your piece of bread and chuck it on the hot buttered skillet {I was using sourdough because the Alaska just never goes out of my system}
- Crack your egg into the hole {check for shells}
Tip: The egg should be sizzling the instant it hit the pan, that's how hot you want your skillet. Don't put your egg on a cool pan, then you won't have any way to gauge how long it's gonna take to have your wonderfully cooked egg
- When the white of the egg starts to get less like water and more like gelatin...flip that sucker over
- I only do about 30 seconds on the second side because I love me some runny yoke.
This is a super easy breakfast that kids can help with {they can cut the holes} and is healthy.
If you want to up the health thing a notch, use whole grain bread.
