I love eggs but I can’t be bothered to make an egg every morning.. I mean who has time for that?

Enter egg bites, baked in the oven, customizable to whatever your tastes are. Easy peasy… just how I like my mornings.

All you need is an oven, a 12 muffin tin, 8 eggs and whatever extras you want! To save a mess I use silicon muffin liners.

Here is what you need:

• 8 whole eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 Tbs heavy cream
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 2 slices of diced bacon
• 1/2 onion finely diced
• 1 whole jalapeño finely diced
• 1/2 cup feta crumbled

Sauté the onion, bacon and jalapeño in a pan until golden. Drop a 1/2 Tbs of this mixture into the muffin tins.

Whisk up the 8 eggs in a bowl. Add the heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin tin. Top with roughly 2 tsp of crumbed feta cheese.

Put these babies into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

Voila! Now in the morning your only concern is making a Coffee, trying to get dressed in private and herding cats.. err I mean your children. 😉

I have been obsessed with avocados lately. They are delish. So creamy and rich, nothing beats a ripe avocado. 

Here is a simple and easy breakfast that takes 5 minutes and will hold you until lunchtime. It is full of protein and healthy fats.

What you need:

1. 2 eggs
2. 1 slice of toast
3. 1/2 avocado
4. Sliced cherry tomatoes
5. Fresh cilantro, basil, chives 
6. Pinch of salt and sriracha (optional)

Toast the bread. Smash your avocado. You can just have the avocado plain or mix it with herbs and tomatoes. Fry your eggs and cook them to your likely. Eat. 

   

  

 

   

     

Toast and Eggs

One of the fondest memories I have of my grandma was when she used to visit with us and make us breakfast in the mornings. Her specialty was boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Just thinking about it makes me smile. I am sure most people share similar memories.

I felt so special getting this “fancy” breakfast.

Toast and Eggs

I have a take on this breakfast that is great for kids and adults. It is super easy to make. If you include boiling the water the entire recipe takes 9 minutes to make. Perfect for before school or on the weekend.

Grown up Eggs and Soldiers

• 1 egg
• 1 slice of your favorite bread ( I used ciabatta)
• Butter
• Salt and pepper

Take a pot of water and boil it. Add the egg to the water for 6 minutes. Toast your favorite bread and butter it. Dice it up into cubes and put into a bowl. Remove egg, run it quickly under cold water and peel. Place the peeled egg on the toast cubes and slice it open. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Just like grandma used to make only more grown up.

Boil the egg for 6 minutes

Toast and butter your bread. Dice is put it in a bowl.

Run the 6 minute egg under cold water for 30 seconds

Place peeled egg onto of toast cubes and season with S & P.

Slice and eat!
