Braised Eggs: Breakfast for Dinner

Braised Eggs

This is the best “breakfast for dinner” meal (and it’s good for breakfast too.)  I always serve this dish with a toasted baguette for dipping into the creamy yolks.  With the bacon bits and cheese, this one pan wonder becomes a quick, hearty and satisfying meal any time of the day.

1 slice of bacon

3 eggs

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup shredded cheese

1 teaspoon chopped chives or parsley (optional)

Salt & pepper to taste

In a small skillet, fry the bacon until crisp and set it aside.  Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and place it back on the heat.  Once the pan is hot again, pour in the eggs all at once and cook for 1 minute.  Add the water to the pan.  After a few minutes, top the eggs with the bacon bits, cheese and chives, if using.  Once the egg whites are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with toasted dipping bread.  Serves 2 - 4.
