Heart in the Middle

01/22/2013

Eggs, toast and bacon.
YUM-O.
Please tell me you had these as a child.
What did your mom call them?
We call them Hole in the Middle (today they are Heart in the Middle because Valentines day is coming soon) and sometimes we call them Eggs in a Nest.

OK, let's get to work.

Cut a hole in the center of your bread - whatever shape your little heart desires. (Get it...hehehe....I'm feeling spunky today! :)

Melt a little butter in your skillet.
Put your holy piece of bread down.
Break an egg and drop it in the hole.
After a minute or two flip your toast/egg.
Girl likes for me to break the yolk before flipping hers, so I do.
The Boys like the yolk runny, so I leave theirs as is.
Cook until done - whatever 'done' is for you.

Every morning I line their food up just like this on the counter in-between the kitchen and dining room.

Send them off to school with full bellies.

Yes Sarah these plates are from Korea. I got them in Yeoju at the blue & white factory. They sell them on post but they are marked up at least x's 4!! I will be making a trip to Yeoju in the spring if you want to tag along!

egg in the middle.
the trick is to lift the bread so the egg white runs across the bottom before it sets. Plus, lots of butter. Seems like that is the trick to a lot of things, though.

Yes! We called it Toad in the Hole or Egg in a Nest, and I still make them for my kids! Same thing with mine, too - Boy likes runny yolks and Girl likes hers cooked solid-hard so she can pop it out and throw it away and only eat the white!

Never had it but have wanted it ever since seeing Cher make it in Moonstruck. Why, then haven't I tried making it myself? Love the pottery.

Moving to Korea?

Author

Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog. I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea. The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states. Today it is so much more that.
I hope you enjoy our journey.
