It’s a strange name for a dish but I’m at a loss to know what else to call it. It’s one of those dishes you make over the years and alter to suit what you have available. I have made this a lot since we have been keeping chooks and have plenty of eggs. So here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
10 large or 12 smaller eggs
1 onion
3 – 4 rashers of bacon
1 cup milk
1/2 to 1 cup of milk
1/2 cup self raising flour
1 cup cheddar cheese (use some parmesan too if you have it, it’s delicious!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tomato
salt & pepper
garlic salt, herbs, other seasoning (optional)
Cut up your bacon into small pieces and fry in olive oil until browning and smelling amazing. Add in chopped onion and continue to fry until browning. Lay into a large greased dish. (I use a large rectangular dish or roasting tray, as long as it has deep sides).
Whisk eggs in a bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper and other seasoning if using. In a cup mix the flour with enough milk to make a paste, continue to mix in milk until runny in consistency.
Whisk the milk and flour as well as remaining milk into the eggs. Pour the mixture into your dish, over the bacon and onion.
Sprinkle grated cheese all over, then place thin slices of tomato on top.
Bake in a hot oven (200 degrees celscius) until golden brown on top.
Beautiful served with fresh, crisp salad.
There are plenty of other ingredients you can add to this, lastnight I dumped in a cup of leftover cooked rice. You can add grated zucchini, leftover roast vegetables, capsicum, tuna etc.
A very quick and easy dinner that all the family loves! If you try it let me know what you think.
I’ve had a funny virus this week that’s left me feeling pretty run down. It has also coincided with the little one teething so I haven’t had a decent sleep for a while. I feel like my brain’s wound up while the body is the opposite. I’m sick of my house, sick of my daily routine, sick of feeling sick of……. I feel like I need some serious cheering up.
Maybe a visit to the oppy?…….. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
A full head of hair!
*If you have a large doll you may want to do 3 layers of hair, depending on the thickness required.
* I mostly use boucle wool for hair as it gives a really full and quite natural look. If you want straight hair and are using straight yarn, you will need to use more to give good coverage.
I hope this is helpful š
We just got our new batch of Isa Browns which is always exciting. We keep them in a large enclosed pen which also has a wooden house and laying boxes (a converted dog kennel), nothing fancy but warm. cosy and comfortable.
We bought these ladies from a local cage egg farm, which is a bit strange because I’m completely against cage egg farms. But my reasoning is quite simple. You buy the young chooks from their elevated cages from which they’ve just been yanked out of by the legs by the staff member. You get them home and let them out of a cardboard box into the yard you have prepared for them. And this is the good part. You watch.
These feet have never stepped on bare earth. They have never pecked at a worm or insect. They have never walked freely!
So, my husband and I both agree it’s worth freeing these chooks from a life of misery in a cage and giving them the opportunity to do what comes naturally. This morning they had their first hot mash and were suitably impressed.
I’ll discuss egg farms again in a later post, I think it’s time for change.
