Sissys Egg In A Boat Recipes

EGG IN A BOAT

Steps:

• Butter both sides of bread. Cut a circular hole in the center of the slice of bread, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Heat a frying pan or griddle on medium-high heat. When the frying pan is hot, place the bread into the pan and let it brown for one minute. Flip the toast over and let the other side brown for one minute.
• Break the egg into the hole in the bread. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to the consistency you prefer.

EGGS IN HASH BOATS #SP5

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Beat 2 of the eggs in a medium bowl, add the potatoes, 2/3 cup cheese, and meat (add spices now or sprinkle over eggs or cheese, later), mix well.
• Prepare 4 custard cups, ramekins or large muffin tin cups with nonstick spray or by greasing. If you don't have cups large enough, use a round cake pan or similar size casserole.
• Fill cups halfway with potato/meat mixture, then form a well in the center large enough to accommodate a whole egg, pressing the mixture up to the top edge of the cup. (For one pan, place all the mixture in the pan, then make 4 wells for the eggs.).
• Bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes (until barely starting to brown), then take out of oven, break each of the 4 eggs into a cup one at a time, and then place each into one well apiece (sprinkle desired spices/parsley over egg, if you like, or put over cheese, next step). Return to oven for 5 minutes (just until white is cooked, or longer for medium or firm yolks), then sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops (could sprinkle with parsley and/or spices now, if desired/not used before) and return to oven for another 2 to 4 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Serve in or out of the individual cups on plates, or use a pancake turner or pie server to plate individual servings if using a single pan.
• Serves 4.

SISSY'S EGG IN A BOAT

Steps:

• Heat a bit of butter in a large skillet.
• Take a small glass (it has to be smaller than the bread) and press the top of it into the bread to cut out a circle. Remove the circle (the "man overboard") and set aside.
• Place the 2 slices of bread with the circle cutouts onto the pan.
• Flip them before adding the egg so both sides of the bread are buttery.
• Drop one egg into each hole in the bread slices. (the bread is the "boat").
• Add a little more butter to the pan and throw on the "men overboard". They make nice little crispy buttery toast bites to accompany the egg.
• Fry until desired consistency. Sissy doesn't like her eggs too runny so I flip them and cook both sides. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• If you want cheese on them -- add it on right at the end just long enough to melt one slice over each boat.
