Egg Toast!

So yesterday, I ate my first egg in 1 year and 6 months! WOW thats a long time!! I decided to make one of my favorites, and it couldn't be easier! Egg Toast! It reminds me of living with my sweet cousin Alison, in college, making it together while watching any reality TV marathon together!  Some things never change, love you Ali!! Thanks again to my sweet "Goggie" for the eggs, and also the fresh tomatoes! I can't wait to make another egg creation tonight, Enjoy!!

I used olive oil to grease my pan b/c I was out of Pam, use whatever you prefer to coat the pan! One slice of bread and one egg, make as many as you please!
 Tear a Yolk-Sized hole in the middle of you bread, and toast both sides until very lightly brown over medium heat, I did this on a flat non stick pan.
 Once bread is lightly toasted, crack egg so yolk is in the hole!
 Flip and cook until desired softness, I don't like a runny yolk so I did mine for about 8 min total, flipping occasionally to avoid burning!
 Salt and Pepper to tasate and garnish however you like! I topped mine with some garden fresh tomatoes!

Egg Toast:
One slice wheat bread
1 egg (give some thought to going local and free range with your eggs!)
Something to grease your pan

Pre heat pan to medium heat and grease.  Tear out a yolk sized hole in bread, toast bread VERY lightly on both sides.  Crack egg so yolk falls into center of the bread. Flip until you have acheived your desired softness. I cooked mine for a soft but not runny yolk for aprox 8 minutes, flipping every 2 so that neither side would burn! Salt and Pepper and garnish with your choice!

EGGS

Eggs, probably the one major thing I have missed the most since becoming a vegan, I think maybe even more than Cheese! Eggs are in all of the things that I loved for so long, egg toast, egg salad, French Toast, baked goods, the list goes ON AND ON! One day I was asked by my sweet grandmother "Goggie" what my main objection to eggs is, and I told her, I want to be certain that the Chickens are being treated well, really free roaming (just because the carton says it doesn't mean they are) and that I could truly know that the chickens were living a good life! I know, I know, thats pretty Hippy Dippy of me, tree huggerish, over-the-top, whatever you want to call it, but thats how I feel! So imagine my surprise today, when Goggie found me some great free range eggs, coming from three happy healthy chickens at the same farm she buys her tomatoes at!!??! I am beyond excited, she called to tell me all about the chickens, she asked all the right questions, and they even told me if I wanted to come and meet the chickens for myself, they would be glad to have me! I decided to take Goggie's word for it and eat some dang eggs, and I CAN'T WAIT! So be ready for several eggggggcellent posts, get it!? I'll keep you "posted" get it?? Okay sorry enough cheesy jokes! Until tomorrow!
