The Egg and Us
Sometimes the best part of being a dad is the small things. Cooking is one of those things. Both Emma and Abby want to help with everything! As every parent knows, the “help” of a three year old is not always “helpful”, but we have fun doing it. Emma is really learning and I can see the little improvements in things like breaking eggs, etc.
My niece posted this great breakfast recipe the other day, and we’ve had a lot of fun doing it.
You’ll need a package of bacon, a dozen egg, three slices of bread, and some grated cheese (optional). You’ll want a good muffin pan for the baking as well.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 or 400.
Step 2: Lightly cook a pound of bacon. You should get close to 12 pieces or so. Don’t overcook, you want them good and floppy.
Step 3: Use a small cookie cutter or the edge of a glass to cut some pieces of bread. They should be small enough to fit into the bottom of your muffin pan nicely. Add the bacon around the edges.
Step 4: Add the eggs.
The kids LOVE this part and this is a good time for them to get some practice on cracking eggs.
Step 5: Cook for 10 or 15 minutes depending on how soft you like the yolks.
The bacon cooks the rest of the way and produces enough grease that they pop right out of a non-stick pan.
Step 6: Serve and brag on what a great job the kids did.
