I generally don't write down recipes. I leave that to my sisters, mother and
grandmothers. This time is
different. Ever since I can remember,
Grandmother Peeper has been making Picture Eggs especially for me, her Bird of
the Earth. To this day, she'll ask if
I'm hungry and when I tell her yes, the first thing she offers is Picture Eggs.
I'm putting pencil to paper to remind my wife, whoever she turns out to be, to
make them for the children we'll someday have.
Pat's Favorite Picture Eggs
Here's what you do to make a single serving:
Get out the large skillet for just one
won't be near enough. Butter both sides of one slice of bread. Take a round cookie cutter or glass and cut
out a circle right in the middle of the bread. Put the bread and the cut out
circle in the hot pan. Crack a raw egg and drop it into the hole, frying the
circle at the same time. Flip it over after a minute or two and brown the other
side of the bread. Don't overcook the egg if you want the yolk to be
runny. Add a smidgen of salt and pepper. Dip the toast circle into the egg juice or spread with jam and as Jane Marie
says, "Enjoy!"

Thank you for the wonderful idea, Pat. I tried one and quickly gobbled it down. I
think Picture Eggs would make a great all-American breakfast to serve on
the 4th of July or anytime! |
