Tessa Kiros ~Eggs with Bread and Butter

This week on IHCC it's all about Orange.  This may be a little

on the yellow side but it is sorta orangey-ish...right?  

Anyway, I chose this simple breakfast dish because I made

it a while back for my daughter and she loved it and asks

for it most mornings.  Bay is all about the yolk.  That's why

this is one of her favorite breakfasts.  The pieces of toast

get coated with all the beautiful golden orangey yolk,

getting some in every savory bite.

Now........I admit I went about it a different way than Tessa.  

In her cookbook Apples for Jam she has you boil an egg for

about 2 1/2 minutes.  I am here to admit I can't seem to get

an egg the way I like it when I boil it so I cheated and fried

mine sunny side up.  I feel no shame cheating on this one

because just the technique is different but the end result is

the same.    

Eggs with Bread and Butter

(adapted from Tessa Kiros)

(printable copy)

2 eggs

2 slices of fresh bread (I used sourdough)

1-2 tbsp. soft butter

kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Put bread on a sheet pan and smear butter over each.  

Broil until browned. Turn bread over and brown the

other side.  Tear bread into small bit and put into a bowl.  

In the meantime, heat a skillet with non-stick cooking

spray and break eggs into pan.  Cook eggs until the

whites are set.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Put eggs over bread in bowl.  Mix and mash the two

together well with a fork.  Serve immediately.  

I think this is a great breakfast for young children.  

Tessa says....

This is what my mom gave us so often- it is one of

my earliest food memories.  I have only to smell it

and it takes me sailing back in time and fills me with 

wonderful memories.  It is amazing how an egg and

a slice of bread can do that.

That being said..... I loved it too.  The nice thing is that

you can add in anything you like or nothing at all.  I

drizzled a touch of honey over mine where Bay just 

had salt and pepper. Sometimes it's the simple recipes

you end up craving  day after day.  This one is definitely

on our morning breakfast rotation!  Maybe it will end

up on yours as well.
