California Toad in a Hole…
I’m kind of a funny breakfast person. I HAVE to eat breakfast. I mean, I seriously cannot survive without it. But, I am a picky breakfast person. I don’t like anything too heavy or too sweet for breakfast. Like I’ll have pancakes, but while my hubby and kids eat them with chocolate chips and syrup I’ll usually just have a smear of jam on them. Or I may make muffins, but I’ll usually only have one. You would never find me eating sausages, bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast. It’s just too much. It gives me a tummyache. I do love cereal though. Special K is one of my favorites.
The other morning we were all home and I asked my 5 year old what she wanted for breakfast. She said Bacon and the hubby said eggs. Hmmmm ok. Well, I didn’t want scrambled eggs and we did have an avocado. So why not something a little different? It turned out oh so yummy. That sprinkle of kosher salt (though sea salt would have been awesome too) was exactly what this breakfast needed.

So, I grew up on this sans avocado and bacon and called in an egg-in-a-hole. My kids are obsessed w/ them, too.
