Title: Re: Elephant Eyes
Post by: AzJohnnyC on September 05, 2009, 07:21:53 pm
I say some discussion about breakfast, so here's one of my favorite, simple things to make. My mother always called them elephant eyes.
Start with a piece of bread, find a glass or something smaller than the bread to push into the slice of bread to make a circular hole in the bread. Coat both sides of the bread generously with butter or margarine. Start the bread in the frying pan and crack an egg in the center. Finish to your liking, I like mine a little runny so the toasted bread soaks it up. Easy and tasty.

I call them toast poached eggs (never knew what else to call them), and I love them. Got my kids eating them too.

That's what my ex called it. Therefore, we now call it egg in a frame...
You mean the yolk a little runny, right? Runny egg white makes me gag. I shall not expound on the subject....

I'll tell you what makes me gag. Half-cooked egg yolks that are jelly-like, orange and translucent. I can eat 'em hard, over easy or sunny side up. But in-between gives me the willies. :-[  Same thing with soft-boiled eggs. Europeans like them in that middle stage.  :( I pretty much go eggless when I'm there. :-X We raised chicken for their eggs when I was a kid and I had to collect the eggs. The yolks were bright orange and stood up proud. Give me a stale egg with a flat yellow yolk any day. And don't get me started on soft boiled eggs. My mother would make me eat them sometimes and the only way I could choke them down was with a teaspoon of black pepper stirred into them until they were almost black. That's how I eat them to this very day. (Gee. Do you think I was traumatized by eggs in my youth?)  ;D
