Blackstone Griddle eggs in a basket

It was what I called it growing up. But there are many other names for this delicious breakfast. Eggs in the hole, Eggs with a hat, Eggs in a frame, Toad on the Road, Toad in the Pond, Bird’s Nest, Eggs in a Basket, Bullseyes, Egg surprise, Eggs in the corral, Cowboy toast, stray eggs, Goofy Toast, Chicken in a basket, Popeye eggs…

Your family will love them no matter what they are called.

How to make eggs in a basket?

This is a simple breakfast but I will give you some tips to make it great.

Butter both sides of the bread. Do this before you take out Wednesdays. Do not be timid.

You can cut the middle of the bread using a serrated knife to make multiple pieces.

If you don’t have good fins toast one side of the bread and then turn the other side to cook the eggs. Place a lid or dome on top of the mixture and let it cook until the whites have set.

Spices are essential! Eggs are best friends with salt and pepper!

We can’t be friends if you don’t make cut-outs or roast them in the yolk.

What bread is best for egg in a basket?

The best bread is one that you love and is large enough to hold a whole egg. This will leave bread, not just crust. Texas Toast is great for this.

Can I make it with scrambled eggs?

You definitely can make scrambled eggs using blackstone griddle! There are a few children in our family who haven’t had fried eggs for years. These are equally good with scrambled eggs and fried eggs. Feel free to experiment with what works for you and your family.

Which type of egg is best for the eggs in the Basket?

We used to have chickens once upon a time. Fresh eggs are something I loved about chickens. We had them for around 5-6 years. It replaced chickens completely – almost always.

The hens were killed by wildlife after we moved, but the eggs from the farm are still my favorite. If you have chickens in your garden, get extra eggs. They are well worth it.

Today, I am trying to find “good” eggs at a grocery store. However, none of the eggs were fresh from the bird.

Purchase the best eggs that you can afford and, if you’re brave, consider having chickens in your backyard.

The size of the bread you choose will also affect what kind of eggs you get. Small eggs = small bread

What do you do with the Blackstone Egg in the Hole?

It was done with bacon and Blackstone. Next time I will make a Traeger No Flip Bacon and use all the grid space for some hashbrowns. If you don’t have a pellet grill, this method can be used on bacon in the oven.

Mix them all well until there are no lumps. This dip tastes better when served cold.

Purple Sweet Potato Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 purple sweet potatoes
• 1 Red onion
• 7 to 9 cloves of Garlic
• 1 ½ tablespoon of melted butter
• Parsley to garnish
• Rosemary
• Salt to taste

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Start by chopping red onions and potatoes into bite-sized pieces or thick slices of one inch each. You can do it as desired. Wash them thoroughly to remove any soil or bacteria on the surface. Don’t forget this step, as it is essential for the fresh taste of this recipe.
• Add some salt of around one tablespoon to 2 cups of water. Bring the salted water to a boil and gently add potatoes to it. Cover the potatoes and let them simmer for 10-15 minutes until they are soft. Make sure to cook them only until they are tender and not until they are falling apart.
• Very gently remove them on a dry vessel and drain the water. The next step is to pat the potatoes dry with a towel or kitchen cloth.
• In a bowl, toss minced garlic and freshly cut rosemary with some melted butter. Mix the contents well until the ingredients are blended well.
• Place the onions and potatoes on a baking sheet. It would help if you preferably used a larger baking vessel to avoid overlapping and maintain the veggies’ crispiness.
• Spoon the garlic-herb mixture on every piece of onion and potato.
• Transfer them to the oven and bake for over 15 minutes. Toss them over and continue to bake for another 10 minutes to obtain the desired crisp.
• You should season with salt to taste, chopped parsley, or any additional herbs.
• Serve hot to enjoy the fresh flavors.
• A good alternative is to enjoy these potatoes with a dipping made from Greek yogurt or yogurt and garlic.

Another way to cook this dish if you are running low on time is to skip the boiling part. Place the chopped potatoes on the baking tray directly with the onions and spoon them with herbs and butter. Transfer them to the oven and bake for over 15 minutes. Toss them over and continue to bake for another 10 minutes to obtain the desired crisp. Season them with salt to taste, chopped parsley, or any additional herbs.
