INGREDIENTS

4 slices of quality bacon
2 slices whole wheat bread
2 organic, large eggs
Fine-grained sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

METHOD

Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-heat, and brown the bacon to your desired crispiness, and set aside on a microwaveable plate; reserving some drippings in skillet.

Meanwhile, cut a hole in the center of each bread slice using a glass or biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter).

Add the bread slices to the skillet, and crack an egg in the hole, and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Cook the egg, while covering skillet with foil for a couple minutes, then turn over and cook for a couple minutes longer, uncovered, until done.

In the meantime, place your bacon in the microwave to reheat, for 30 seconds, and serve with your Eggs-in-a-Nest. – Enjoy!

SANDRA’S CORNMEAL-MAPLE MUSH with TOAST TRIANGLES

I grew up eating this as my Mother
never served us cold store-bought cereal;
we always had a hot breakfast of
oatmeal, cornmeal, cream of wheat with homemade toast
before school; after all this is Alaska...

Servings: (2)
Prep: 3 Mins. | Cook 5 Mins.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cups cold water
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup quality maple syrup
--(or ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar)
1/4 cup condensed milk (unsweetened)

--Prepared whole-wheat toast, cut into triangles

METHOD

Combine cornmeal, cold water, and sea salt in a small saucepan, and whisk to combine. Place on stove over high-heat until boiling while whisking (to prevent lumps from potentially forming), and then reduce heat to low and continue to whisk for 5 minutes, until cornmeal is tender and mush has thickened. Add the maple syrup, and condensed milk, whisking to combine, and remove from heat.

Place toast in the toaster, and pour mush into serving bowls, and garnish mush with a slight drizzle of maple syrup. Butter toast, and cut them into triangles and serve along side. – Enjoy!

Tip: This mush was a staple breakfast in our household while growing up, and every time I this it floods me with fond memories of my family and friends in my hometown of Yakutat, Alaska.
