Shortly after marrying my husband he sprung this breakfast on me that I thought was some absolutely ridiculous bachelor thing he came up with. It is simple, too simple I thought for it to actually exist in the culinary world. Although he assured me that it is a mid-west thing and he grew up eating it. I later found out it exists all over the USA and everyone calls it something different. Only taking 10 minutes to prepare and having very little cleanup, this breakfast wins our "Simply Delicious" award. Oh, we don't have an award badge? Hmmm, I better talk to Mr. W about that. He does all the design work for The Slow Roasted Italian. Fabulous designer isn't he? {{{gush}}}
A delicious piece of grilled bread with an egg over easy in the center. Now, that is where he lost me... I don't care for eggs over easy. I don't like anything runny about an egg, runny egg is a raw egg if you ask me. That could come from my childhood, where my dad would make breakfast for the 7 of us and surely my entire egg was always runny and undercooked (actually the thought of it kind of made me a little sick, just now). Sorry dad, but you didn't make the best eggs back then. Now, though I can attest to the fact that he is a fantastic breakfast cook.
Mr. W tells me that he loves this breakfast. So, because he was not feeling well yesterday, I thought it would be nice to wake up to this loved breakfast from his childhood.
