over easy...

ain't so easy!!

yesterday morning (sunday).. ahh.. my one day to sleep in a little more and wake up leisurely and cook a yummy breakfast. simple pleasures. i thought it would be nice to have some french toast and i wanted to learn how to make fried eggs over easy.

attempt #1 - not so good



attempt #2 - yay!! :D
if you're inexperienced at the over easy egg and wanna give it a try i suggest a really slick pan. grease it well with some PAM or butta and then when the egg is ready use a nice swift smooth motion to flip the egg. and try it over the sink. i don't think my first attempt would have been very nice in the gas burner




now for the french toast. i mix a little bit of unsweetened almond milk (i purchased the 'original' by mistake and will get the 'vanilla' next time) in with an egg and whisk it up a little with a fork




take your bread of choice (mine is currently sara lee 45 calorie whole grain) and soak it in the egg/milk mixture and put it in a sprayed pan




when it's ready give it a little flip. i love the sound and aroma of it sizzling in the pan and getting a beautiful golden crisp




go ahead and make one more and then drizzle with a sugar free syrup. this was a few hours before i purchased the nature's hollow sugar free maple so i used my aunt's sugar free syrup. i'm anxious to try with the nature's hollow. it is much thinner than regular syrup and i do miss true real thick maple syrup, but this was just as delicious and i really enjoyed it. the S/C value for this is 0/1. it may be 0/2 however with the nature's hollow syrup because it does have a few carbs in it. still.. a great count for two slices of french toast along with an egg. you can even have bacon for 0/0 along with this as well if you would like.
