Baked eggs with feta and tomatoes

Me birthday! To start the day right, I need to have something savory. Something with eggs. Something that I haven't made in a while, maybe something I haven't made yet at all. Some would go out for breakfast, no, I can't. I have to have it "me made".

 After planning for about 24 hours, I've decided that tomatoes, feta, and eggs sounded good. I'll add some bread and bacon on the side. Boom!



 Here is what I had: some cherry tomatoes, broiled in the oven proof dish for about 3-4 minutes
some feta, added to tomatoes, broiled for another 3-4 minutes
an egg, added to tomato-feta mix and baked (or broiled) until the top of the egg turned white,but the middle was still runny.

     


Salt, chives. Bread and bacon on the side. Coffee. Happy.

Beans and bacon

Wow! Last post, October 8, wow. Doesn't seem that long ago. Way to blog, way to blog.

So yes, I blame Instagram and Iphone. It's so much easier to click and post than click, click, click, upload, upload, upload, and post. But that's not what I was going to write about. I'm writing about beans and bacon. One of the greatest combos on planet of Earth. Don't get me wrong, I know there are far better things to eat, but when there is no time to cook, when there is no idea what to cook, this is what I'm going to cook.


1 can of white beans with liquid
3 strips of bacon
1 tbsp dried onions
salt, pepper 

Heat the skillet. Meanwhile cut the bacon into small pieces. Put bacon pieces into skillet and fry until it begins to crisp. Add onions, salt, pepper, mix well and add the beans. Mix well until the beans are heated through. Boom!


Ah, for the soup lovers, there is a variation... after all this, add couple of cups of stock and let it simmer for about half an hour. Great for those cold winter days.

Ah! Ah! for the vegetarian version, skip the bacon, use the oil. Those magic dried onions will do the trick.
