Eggies in a basket revisited!

This is a version of the English recipe for eggs in the basket. Makes perfect breakfast or lunch at work :)

Time you'll need to make this: 15 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!



Ingredients (for 2 eggies):

- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of brown bread
- 2 slices of ham
- olive oil
- vegetable butter
- salt
- pepper
- oregano
- veggies of your choice as sides, here I picked baby spinach


How to cook it:

1. Cut out circular (or any other shape you prefer) holes in the middle of the bread slices.
2. Heat a bit of olive oil (enough to cover half the bottom of a small pan) and throw in the slices when the oil is hot to toast them a bit, for a minute.
3. Crash the eggs inside the holes. Season with salt and pepper. Let them fry on medium heat, and turn them to fry on the other side as well (this might get a bit messy, but it's okay, it all goes down the stomach! You're not going for a beauty contest, you're making a quick meal!). Don't forget to season the other side!
4. When the eggs are nearly ready, add a rich spoon of vegetable butter and fry them in the butter for another minute or two, flipping to both sides.
5. Remove your eggies in a basket, season with oregano and add the slices of ham in between the two breads. Keep the bread "lids" aside to dip in the egg yolk as you nom

- powdered onion
- mild paprika
- black pepper
- olive oil
- oregano
- half a veggie broth cube

Tuna spread sandwich

Of all the fish spreads, I love tuna the most. Makes great sandwiches or wraps for lunch, light dinner or a snack during the day or at work. This is a really quick tuna spread, where you use canned tuna. I recommend the tuna in water, so that you can add your own, healthier oil in the mix instead. You can add veggies of your preference, but I think lettuce and cucumber are the best choices with tuna!

Swedish waffles

Swedish, Serbian, Greeks... I think waffles are same everywhere :). In Serbia it's called grandma's cookie :). Dunno why, maybe because they smell delicious, like a cookie that only granny can make. Also they are called galette, but that comes from the French cuisine. Anyway, the difference between these Swedish waffles and the rest can be only in the butter. I've learnt that if you are Swede then you are using lots, lots, lots of butter everywhere :) and butter is the one that gives a nice flavor to food.
