Eggy Toast Views
Oh, how I LOVE these little cuties! What an ingenious idea [– bacon, eggs and toast all wrapped up in a cute little muffin-sized package. Even better, these take next to no time to throw together so they are perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast, or a quick breakfast-for-dinner night. Growing up my absolute favorite breakfast was known in my family as an “eggy on toasty]” (an over-easy fried egg on a piece of toast), even better when made by my sweet Grampa. These remind me so much of that favorite dish, and I hope that one day these will be a favorite breakfast of one of our kids. These are much more ideal than regular fried eggs to serve a whole family because you can make so many at a time, rather than having to cook eggs in batches.
If you thought I was capable of doing anything else with them, yout’re sadly mistaken. Sweet berry blues doused in maple syrup, and sprawled across a bed of crisp crusted, cinna-vanilla scented, eggy french toast. The breakdown: 2 slices thick whole grain bread, dipped in a bath containing 1 egg, a splash of milk, a drippety drop of vanilla, and perhaps more cinnamon than should be consumed at one time. Topping: a heaping cup of blueberries (the frozen variety) and pure maple syrup.
In the United Kingdom it is also known as eggy bread , egg dip or gypsy toast : a version with jam was once popularly known as Poor Knights of Windsor . Savory variations are more common than sweet. e.g. ketchup or Marmite spread on the bread or used for dipping. Eggy bread is rarely found in cafes, being more of a household favorite made for breakfast or tea and flavored and/or augmented with whatever ingredients are to hand.
French toast or eggy bread is so easy to make and it is so quick and easy to make French toast. the title of this dish is confusing though because it is not really toast. I find if I am having one of those days when I am not really hungary or feeling a bit under the weather then French toast makes a satisfying snack. My children when they were young used to love it and now I make it for my grandchildren because their parents say they can't make it as good as me. I think they say that so they don't have to bother making it.
