2. Fried Egg Sandwich
Let’s start out our first Tiny House morning with a simple breakfast
recipe.
Easy preparation is important for cooking in a small space
with sparse resources. This fried egg sandwich couldn’t be any simpler and it
is so delicious.
You need:
Eggs
English muffins
Cheese (cheddar or another favorite)
Bell Peppers (I prefer green, but you can use any color)
Eggs

Toast the English muffins. We do this using our cast iron
skillet because we do not have a toaster. We put a little butter on the muffins
and place them face down until they are golden brown and delicious. When they
are removed we add a teeny bit of olive oil to the pan. You could add more
butter if you prefer. We slice the bell peppers so they make rings about a
quarter to a half an inch thick and place them in the pan until you they have a
little char. Crack an egg in the middle of each ring. Cook the egg until the
yolk is just the way you like it, flipping about halfway through. I like my
yolks a little soft so we only cook them for a minute or two on each side.
Place the cheese on the hot egg and pepper and cover the pan to allow it to
melt before placing the whole thing on the English muffin. Enjoy.
and all done in 1 skillet, I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge advocate of fried egg sandwiches, and I'm not even living in my tiny space yet! I'm really looking forward to reading your book.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of the ring of pepper idea; I'm going to try it with a red pepper this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'll ever get to build a tiny house, but I moved to a "fringe" neighborhood. My 60 year old house is just 900sf, but it's on 1.5 acres, only 12 minutes from downtown Dallas, and cost just $55,000. The street on which I live has a lot of "po' folk" (as they call themselves) but we are rich in community and watch out for each other. Much as I would love to do what you did, this is my (at least for now) tiny lifestyle.
