I love to cook, but baking is another language. HOWEVER, there are two things I bake, other than out of the box items. One is a chocolate zucchini cake. The recipe follows along with a hint or two.
Try this recipe. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
When Maxine, my downstairs neighbor gifted me with a ripe tomato just picked from her plant along the house, I was delighted. There is nothing like the flavor of a home-grown, vine ripened tomato.
But how to use it to best advantage?
It didn’t take long. I decided to use it in a Summer Fried Egg Sandwich. It helped of course that it was breakfast time and I hadn’t eaten yet.
The Sandwich uses things one readily finds fresh on a farm: eggs, onions, tomatoes and whole grain bread. I collected what ingredients I needed, followed my recipe below and cooked up a wonderful breakfast for myself. I must say, it was delicious.
The recipe is simple and straight forward. The recipe follows. You find an illustrated version on my flick account. Go to my Flickr account and see these pictures. Click here to see these pictures.
Here is the recipe.
Collect the Ingredients: olive oil; half a large sweet onion thick sliced (1/4 inch); fresh or dried basil; two fresh eggs; medium size tomato sliced; two toast size pieces of a hardy bread such as whole grain wheat, toasted.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to small fry pan, heat
Place sliced onion whole, that is as sliced, into hot oil
