Naan Egg Toasts for Brunch

I’ve never been a huge fan of eating breakfast at any time actually appropriate to be called “breakfast,” but oh how I love breakfast food. During the week, I usually skip right through the meal and end up having my lunch at 11:30 because I just can’t wait any more. I know, I know, I have to start eating a breakfast regularly.

Enter: weekend. I love breakfast on the weekend. And I love a breakfast that feels special. These egg toasts are a no-recipe needed dish that can be served as breakfast for one or brunch for one hundred.

The mini Naan I used for this are sturdy enough to hold the melted cheese, beneath the egg, and the drippy golden goodness when you break open the yolk. It’s a perfect light main dish, that accompanied by bacon or sausage or even potatoes would be a delightful brunch with your friends. Or yours truly. I make a great brunch guest and will always bring you champagne.

 

I love topping my eggs with scallions, I feel like it elevates the dish and really gets some great flavors going for you!

 

 

 

Naan Egg Toasts

Time: 10 minutes | Yield: 1 Naan Toast

Ingredients

Mini Naan (I use Stonefire)

1-2oz of your favorite cheese, or as much as you’d like of your favorite cheese

1 egg

Scallions, sliced, optional

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325
  2. Top your naan with your sliced cheese, thin enough that it will melt quickly. When the oven is ready, pop that naan in the oven to get toasted and the cheese to melt.
  3. Heat skillet and add butter or cooking spray
  4. Fry egg to desired done-ness. My trick to a great over easy egg is using a clear glass lid so I can keep an eye on how done it is, waiting until that clear film around the yolk turns white.
  5. Remove the naan from the oven and gently slide the egg onto your naan toast
  6. Top with salt, pepper and scallions, if using!

Serve up with bacon, sausage, homefries – whatever your favorite brunch side is!

3 Steps to Perfect Candied Lemons

Happy first day of spring! I’m ready for all the cute bunnies, asparagus, artichoke hearts and LEMONS. Lemon everything. It’s like the pumpkin spice of March, April and May.

For Easter, I’m planning to make my lemon loaf, which I thought would be fun to dress up with a few slices of candied lemons. They’re so quick to make – just a few minutes of prep and into the oven for about 45 minutes.

I mean, hey, spring! Amirite?!

All you need is a mandolin to get your thin, even slices of lemon and about 3-4 tablespoons of sugar.

Quick & Easy Oven Candied Lemons

Yield: About 24 slices, depending on size of lemons and thickness of slices.

3-4 tbsp of sugar

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 250°.

Line pan with parchment paper.

Thinly slice lemons and arrange on pan.

Generously top each slice with sugar, which will absorb into the lemons.

Bake for about 45 minutes until the lemons are covered with a sugary glaze.
Let cool and enjoy – easy peasy lemon squeezy! xo
