Breakfast is important and absolutely necessary, and that is NOT something I believe to be debatable. Therefore, the question comes down to: What should I have for breakfast? I could have cereal and an egg. I could have toast and peanut butter. I could have oatmeal and a smoothie. OR, I could have a banana-mango smoothie with an egg cooked in a ring of leftover mashed sweet potatoes.
Personally, that sounds like a pretty good option to me. And after this week, I can confirm that option to be AMAZING.
The procedure is simple:
- Put a pile of mashed potatoes (yams, sweet potatoes, or the normal guys) on a plate
- Form a ring with the mashed potatoes, ensuring there are no gaps
- Crack an egg and dump it in the middle of the ring
- Microwave in 21 second intervals (or whatever number you desire) until the egg appears cooked
- Adorn with salt and pepper, or any other desired seasoning(s)
A few pointers:
- Some of you may prefer to break the yolk before you cook it.
- I found that it took quite a while in the microwave to get all the egg white cooked, which resulted in the yolk being more solid than I prefer, but hey, it was still wonderful.
- If the egg oozes out of the ring, don’t worry, it’ll still taste the same. 🙂
- You could try cooking it in a frying pan, I’m just not sure how easy it would be to get the whole thing out of the pan without totally destroying it.
ENJOY!!!
