Egg in a Cloud

I went to Almar the other day for breakfast and tried their egg in a cloud. It was so cool. They separated the yolk and whites and fluffed up the whites and baked them and poached the yolks and served it on top of brioche toast with ham and cheese. It was delicious. While it looks super cool, I didn't think it would be that hard to try at home. Mom and Jamie were my guinea pigs and it was great! Definitely more complicated than the average egg recipe but it's delicious and such a cool presentation. Would be great for a brunch!

Omelette

I'm usually a Bismarck person, and when it comes to eggs I usually go scrambled, fried, or One-Eyed Connolly, but last weekend I wanted to try out an omelette (mostly because I had spinach, fontina, and herbs in the fridge). It was really easy and very tasty, and you can put whatever you want in the middle. I opted for some sauted spinach and scallions with parsley, dill, and fontina. Yum. You just need a non-stick pan.

One-Eyed Connolly

There are a lot of names for this - One-Eyed Connolly, Egg in a Basket, Egg in a Hole... We always called it a One-Eyed Connolly. I made one the other day and decided to spruce it up a little. We didn't have much in the fridge that morning, but we did have some cream cheese and we always have spices. I split the bread in half (there's an easy trick to that) and spread a thin layer of cream cheese and spices and put it back together. It was so tasty and really added something extra. Mmm. I also always love having a little salad with my eggs.

Eggs Benedict

I love Eggs Benedict. People are scared of making Hollandaise at home, but it's really not that hard. It's also such a special breakfast to have at home and makes dreary, cold Sunday mornings a bit more bearable.

4 pieces Canadian Bacon

5 eggs

4 tbsp butter

2 tsp lemon juice
