OMG! I am addicted to Veggs! The Champions Breakfast…
(click above for image of heaven in a pan)
Breakfast of Chmpions…for champions who most likely die young from eating so much fried butter and cholesterol.
Ok, yeah. Pretty off topic but I never said this blog wouldn’t include stupid things that go on in my life. Though this is certainly not one of those cases because since I have discovered Veggs™ I have been in heaven.
I don’t know how many of you have known about this all your life…seems to be either you have heard of them or you haven’t, but my first glimpse of this holy food was in the movie V For Vendetta. It was the scene where V is happily cooking away making the beautiful Evey (Natalie Portman) breakfast. I wasn’t sure what it was but it looked good. From the few glimpses it looked like some kind of biscuit with an egg laid on top of it or something. Although intrigued, I soon forgot about it and just assumed it was some strange British thing.
Well it wasn’t until a few days ago (and a carton of eggs + loaf of bread), that I learned what was actually going on in V’s kitchen. He was already pretty bad ass but, my god, can there be a better breakfast food?!?
It’s also so simple to make for someone as lazy as me…
All you need is:
- 1 egg
- 1 slice of bread
- butter
- salt
- pepper
To make
eggs in a basketVeggs™, butter one side of the bread slice and make a hole in the middle just big enough to fit an egg (and upside down cup or cookie cutter works well). Put the bread on a skillet, butter side down. Then you need to put the egg into the hole inside the bread and salt and pepper to taste. Wait until the egg white becomes solid. then you flip the bread and egg together as one with a spatula. Let the bread and egg sit for about 1 minute. Then your done.
The trick is to make sure there is plenty of butter and not to cook it too long so some of the yolk still flows when you cut into the delicious little thing. If you like that “dipping toast into your yolk” taste then you should love this as much as I do.
This “dish” seems to go by several different names though I am officially renaming it Veggs™ in honor of the late (spoiler warning) V. If you want to find the various incarnations out there and the other silly names it goes by, “Egg in a Basket” seems to be the most popular.
I know, I know. YOU have been eating this all your life and “everybody” knows about these. Yeah, whatever. No one bothered to tell my mother about it when I was a kid. No one bothered to lighten up my life during the lonely and broke bachelor years. So you just blow off with your all mighty tone. I’m enjoying MY Veggs™
wikipedia has a decent explanation how to make this if it seemed a bit too complicated with my description…
And PLEASE post if you have some other well hidden super food like this! I’ve already wasted decades missing out on Veggs™, don’t let this tragedy happen again!
