Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

OH is away on a business trip and it just got to ten to eight and I realised I hadn't had any dinner. Made myself two fried eggs, baked beans and some fried bread - I haven't had fried bread for ages and it was really delicious.

Not too unhealthy as I did drain the fat off the fried eggs .

Oooh - fried bread . There's a thought!

 

DD mentioned the other day that she had never had a chip butty. Must put that right some time soon!

Noooo don't do it! Make eggy bread with fry light instead - much more yummy & less artery clogging!

My two boys love eggy bread ever since they started cubs and the leader does eggy bread - so mum now has to do it - good as I'm awash with egg(y's)

I don't like proper fried bread but what my Mum used to do was lightly butter or dripping in those days, one side of the bread and then put it under the grill. It gives a similar taste but not so fatty, give it a try it's good.

I've only ever found one constructive use for Anthony Worrall Thompson, so it's worth sharing here. It's a recipe of his that I adapted.

 

1. Find some good quality rinded bacon. By good quality I mean something that isn't pumped full of water, so won't shrink to nothing when you cook it.
   
2. Cut off the rinds with a sharp knife, then dry fry them to make crispies. You should end up with a pretty reasonable amount of oil.
   
3. Fry your bacon in the rendered oil, then keep hot to one side.
   
4. Fry a couple of slices of bread in the oil. You'll find they'll end up more toasted than fried, but what flavoursome fat you have will be soaked up.
   
5. Make up your bacon sandwich with cooked ingredients, then top with a poached egg or two and serve.

 

It tastes like a heart-clogging fry-up, but is actually much lower in fat than one might think - especially since the eggs aren't fried.

 

AWT doesn't do the egg bit, but goes on to slather tomato ketchup in the sarnie, which to my mind hides the subtleties of flavour from the decent ingredients. Philistine.

Nomnomnom. Love fried bread. But we tend to do eggy bread more often. I tend to use 2 slices of bread with cinnamon sugar sandwiched between the two. Fry very gently on both sides so that the sandwich is cooked right through to the middle and not as I did the other day forget to turn it over and forget I was actually cooking anything and we ended up with a brown - not burnt surprisingly - bottom and it had cooked through to the top. Tasted nice too - just didn't chomp the brown bit.
