Eggs in a basket

I have been saving this recipe post for a special occasion. Today will be the day I show you how to make eggs in a basket as it is November 5th (a day referenced in one of my favorite movies v for vendetta). This recipe will be super simple yet satisfying.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 slice of bread (any kind will do)

1 large egg

1 tablespoon butter (or cooking oil, if preferred)

Salt and pepper or amy desired seasoning to taste

Optionally you can add little bit of your favorite jam for a sweet yet buttery flavor

Lets get to business

Step 1: Prepare Your Bread
Place your slice of bread on a cutting board. Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, gently cut out a circle in the center about 2 inches wide. Set the round piece of bread aside; you can toast it along with the main slice later.

Step 2: Heat Your Pan
Place a small non stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.

Step 3: Toast One Side of the Bread
Lay your bread slice in the pan and toast it lightly for about a minute. This gives the bread a lovely crisp bottom.

Step 4: Add the Egg
Carefully crack your egg into the hole in the center of the bread. You will want the egg white to set so to get there you need to cook this low and slow. Ideally covering the pan with a lid to cook for about 3 1/2 minutes. You can go up to 5 1/2 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk. You can also flip your bread and egg to aid in cooking the egg for more of a fried egg texture.

Step 5: Season and Serve
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top. Serve warm with the toasted bread circle on the side for dipping. This also goes well with jam for a sweet and savory contrast.

And there you have it folks! A simple yet satisfying breakfast that is full of flavor and comfort. Until the next time dear readers. Excelsior!

Might have browned it a bit longer but still worked out well!

Homemade peanut butter

Over the last few months, I’ve made homemade bread, a strawberry spread, and many other recipes. This time, I decided to go with something simple:homemade peanut butter

This recipe will require only three simple things: peanuts, a little salt ( if your peanuts  aren’t already salted), and a food processor. You will want to take your food processor and fill it with 3 to 4 cups of peanuts and a little bit of salt. Once in the processor, mix on and off scooping down the sides of the processor container as you give the processor a rest during off periods.  You will want to process the peanuts in the processor at intervals of 45 seconds on 15 to 20 seconds off to clean. Rinse and repeat for roughly 10 minutes until smooth and creamy. This is enough to make one mason jar full of peanut butter.

A labor of love

This is a great homemade treat that can be enjoyed in a sandwich with my sugar free spread and my low carb bread for a homemade pb&j, a base for homemade peanut butter cookies and the list goes on. For optional additives, you can add a little peanut butter for a honey peanut butter blend as well. Until the next time, dear readers, excelsior!
