Eggs In A Box Recipes

EGG IN THE BASKET

Steps:

• Cut a circle in the middle of a piece of bread.
• If you don't have a round cookie cutter, the top of a glass will work.
• Heat a skillet or griddle sprayed with Pam or Mazola.
• Place the bread in the pan.
• Put about 1/2 t butter in the hole in the bread.
• Heat the butter until very hot.
• Crack an egg in the hole.
• Use a spatula to move the white around so it gets done.
• When the egg is fairly well set, turn the bread and egg over to cook the other side, being careful not to break the yolk.
• In the meantime, toast the holes from the bread for dipping in the yolk.
• Oh, and salt and pepper as desired.
• I guess you could toast the bread before you put it in the pan, but I've never tried it that way.

EGG-FREE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a small saucepan, use a whisk to stir together 1/3 cup flour and 1 cup water. Heat saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently and cooking until mixture grows as thick as muffin batter (maybe a little thinner).
• Remove pan from heat and use a rubber spatula to scrape flour and water into a large mixing bowl. Set aside and let it cool completely.
• Place butter in the saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter melts, remove the pan from the heat and stir in cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
• Remove saucepan from heat and set aside.
• Add sugar, salt, and vanilla to the flour and water mixture in the large bowl. Beat or stir together until smooth.
• Add cocoa and butter to the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together flour and baking powder.
• Add flour mixture to the large mixing bowl and stir together.
• Pour batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.
• Cool for 15-20 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

EGGS IN A BOX

Steps:

• Butter both sides of 2 slices of old bread. Cut a hole in each with a cookie cutter (any shape you want, but the rounder ones work best). Heat frying pan or flat griddle on med. heat and spray with cooking spray.
• Put buttered bread in pan and immediatly crack an egg into each hole inside the bread. Add pepper to taste. (Cover with a lid if you want over hard eggs).
• In small bowl whisk one egg, milk, Splenda and pumpkin pie spice together. Add leftover bread that was cut out with the cookie cutter. Coat bread holes in egg mixture and add to pan. Uncover pan and flip toast with eggs in them. Bread should be slightly browm on each side (same for the bread holes).
• Serve immediatly. I find that the bread holes are sweet enough by themselves, but if you have to, add some sugar-free maple syrup or no sugar added fruit spread/jelly/preserves to them.
