Hi Dave,


DD>       Title: Toad in the Hole (Egg)
DD>  Categories: Five, Bread, Egg
DD>       Yield: 1 Serving

RH>  This was known as Egg in the Eye by our girls. Once, when they were
RH>  small, one of them couldn't think of the proper name so she requested
RH>  "Egg in the Face". After we stopped laughing, I fixed one for her.


DD>   Cut a 3" hole in the middle of the bread and discard. In a

RH> Don't discard the (eye) hole piece. Put it in the fry pan to toast
RH> along side of the egg cooking in the slice of bread.

DD> Many recipes tell me to discard something that can be re-purposed or
DD> added back in later in that recipe. Stuffed peppers, for instance.
DD> When I cut the top w/stem off I discard the woody stem - but I trim
DD> the rest of the actual pepper remaining and chop it fine to add it
DD> back into the mixture that becomes the stuffing. Mushrooms the same.

I always use the pepper top, minus the stem. If not in what I'm making,
then in something else. Bought some baby bok choy a couple of weeks ago
at the local farmer's market. Used the leaves as a substitute for savoy
cabbage in the pot au feu; the stems were used as part of a stir fry.


DD> And the bits and bobs trimmed from meat have myriad other uses and are
DD> well worth keeping, bones too if I'm going to be making stock.  Bv)=

Small pieces of meat work well in stir frys, soups and lots of other
things. Agreed that bones work well in making stock; I've the remains of
a chicken to make into stock currently in the fridge, will probably do
it tomorrow.


RH> Sometimes when I turn it, I'll add a slice of cheese on top of the egg,
RH> then a slice of ham over that. When the egg has cooked, I'll flip it
RH> again and let the ham sizzle for a minute or two, melting the cheese a
RH> bit. Good high protein meal for just a bit of work.

DD> Sorta like a home-grown Egg McMuffin usig bread instead of muffin.
DD> Bv)=

Kinda sorta. (G)
