Egg-In-The-Basket ingredients Butter
your bread on both sides (this is the secret to perfection).
Cut a square out of the middle of each slice. Heat up your frying pan (use a low heat, between two and
three), and put the bread on it when it’s hot enough to sizzle water.
Immediately crack your egg open and pour it into the hole in the
middle of the bread. Cook
it until you can nudge ggthe bread around without egg spilling out of
the bottom, then turn it over and cook the other side.
(If you like your egg hard, you might want to break the yolk with
a spatula so it cooks more quickly.) Since
I had space for two more ingredients, I decided I’d throw on a little
side dish. It’s all about
details, after all. Wash
and slice the strawberries. Either
dip into or sprinkle on some fine brown sugar. Now
you have an entrée and a side dish, and you’re even getting your
protein. Your Mama would be proud. 4
Nachos Spread
the chips on a baking sheet and sprinkle liberally (I mean liberally)
with the cheese. Evenly
spoon on little piles of refried beans.
Chop up the tomatoes, and add these and a sprinkling of basil.
Cook between 350 and 400 degrees.
Keep checking every ten minutes until the cheese is melted to the
consistency you prefer. For
a slightly different taste, use a bag of pre-grated mixed
cheese—cheddar and mozzarella, for example.

of these recipes are rocket science.
But the next time you’re hungry and have chef’s block, give
one of them a try. o A
