Road Rash and Breakfast Bakes

For those of you who follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you most likely saw me live tweeting Allan’s 7 hour long visit to the HCMC ER last night. Allan was on his way home from work on a road that was repaved and graveled earlier that day. He took a left turn on the gravel and his bike slipped out from under him and thew him forward, landing on his hand and face. He sustained extensive road rash across the front of his body, is bruised up pretty badly and has five stitches in his chin. But he will be ok. Boys will be boys.

So, this morning for breakfast I made the following delicious baked eggs for my boys. This photo was taken prior to topping both bakes with additional breadcrumbs and chives. I wanted to show you how fluffy and delicate these were.

Looks beautiful with the finishing touches. Both boys gobbled down their eggs, toast and tomatoes.

And better yet, this was such a simple recipe to throw together. I had the egg bakes ready to go into the oven before it was preheated.

We always top our toast with coconut oil. You can see how slick Allan’s slice is in this pic.

So, what’s in the crock? I used a recipe from Tosca Reno’s Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook 2 as my inspiration, but switched up a couple things.
