When it comes to breakfast, I'm pretty predictable. I typically enjoy two eggs and fruit, mostly berries, and a coffee. I would eat eggs any time of the day, but I almost always need and crave them to kickstart my day. Scrambled is my go-to, but if I need to make it quicker, I cook one in the microwave. If you want to learn my little secret, it takes just a tiny bit of trial and error to not have it explode on you. All microwaves vary, so this is the fail safe method that I use:
- Spray/grease small bowl
- Crack egg and break the yoke
- Microwave on Power 2 for 2:20
This is the setting for my particular microwave, which is a 5-year-old Whirlpool Gold. If the egg is a bit too runny, try adding another 20-30 seconds, still at power 2. When done, add a pinch of salt and douse with Cholula Chili Garlic hot sauce - it's better than the Original flavor.
But this blog post is NOT about eggs - it's about the time I craved something a little different. Today, it was blueberry scones, especially after my neighbor generously gave me a couple of extra pints. Determined to create something fun but not let them go to waste and MY WAIST, I decided to make them grain-free, which feels a lot less guilty.
These are great for entertaining at brunch! I also got to try my new Lodge Cast Iron Wedge Pan. It did not disappoint! I love how it keeps all of the scones separated. I'm excited to also use this pan for a frittata recipe - but that's another post...
