Eggs in a Frame

Saturday, September 18, 2010


Today is the first day of bow hunting season! Yahoo! I'm on my way out to my stand before the sun comes up. My dad was the one who got me into bow hunting. My dad use to make "Eggs in a Frame" for me on Sunday mornings, but it was with Wonder Bread:) Here is my version made with eggplant!

1 wide eggplant, cut into round or square bread-like shapes
4 eggs
Coconut oil or ghee
Celtic sea salt and pepper

Peel and cut eggplant into bread-like shapes. Then cut a hole in the middle of the eggplant for the egg. Heat a pan with oil, once hot add the eggplant to fry. Fry on both sides for 2 minutes or until soft. Crack egg into the empty hole in the eggplant and fry until the egg is done to your liking and enjoy! Love you Dad:)
Makes 4 servings

  2. These look really yummy. My father would make them for me all the time too...of course with regular white bread and pretty much deep fried in Crisco...I get somewhat nostalgic and queasy at the same time just thinking about them...I think it's kinda fitting/funny that you mention bow hunting considering my dad calls these "bulls-eyes" (like the center of a target) :)

  3. I'm not sure about the almond flour...probably. I have almond flour pancakes in my cookbook:)

  4. I just bought coconut oil for the first time. Do you just spoon out some and let it break down with the heat from the stove? This recipe looks delicious, by the way! I plan on trying it in the morning.
