He’s all that and dimples too. But he’s mine. I’m not giving him up for a while yet.
It was Sunday after church. Daddy was gone to preach in South Missouri and took a sister and a brother with him. Another brother went home with a friend.
That left only 4 for Sunday lunch. Hardly enough to break a sweat over. “Let’s just have cold cuts,” Heidi offered. “We can save the spiral cut ham for when the whole family is together.”
“Or,” Caleb said, “That bread with the egg in the middle.”
“Huh? You mean Toad in the Hole?”
“Yes, that’s the one.” I love that the kids aren’t discombobulated about our remodel nightmare. They just jumped right in and took charge of fixing the meal. Then stuck with me until all the dishes were washed, dried and put away.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- 4 tsp butter
Instructions
- Butter bread, then use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut a hole out of the center.
- Preheat griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees.
- Place bread buttered side down on the pan, then bread an egg in the center.
- Cook for about 3 minutes or until egg is partially set. Flip and cook the other side.
- Cook until yolks are thick but still soft. About 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Love that boy! He is so special…
He’s a special boy! And can come over and fix my lunch any day!
Aw, Sue, thanks. I’m partial to him. He’d cook for you too, even though Dub is our self-proclaimed chef. I remember one day Dub decided that he was going to open a pizza restaurant and Caleb was going into the army. After Caleb put in his time, he was going to come back and work in the restaurant for his brother. I love when their future plans include each other :).
