Oven Eggs

I enjoy a variety of ways to cook eggs. It amazes me how cooking them differently gives them slightly different tastes. That is why I have several egg cooking items like egg coddlers and poachers. I even use the waffle iron at times.

The size of the skillet and the number of eggs can vary to fit how much you need.

Directions:

  1. Spray a cast iron skillet or melt butter to cover the bottom
  2. Crack 4 eggs into skillet 
  3. Add sea salt and pepper
  4. Add a mixture of cheeses on top - any cheese you like
  5. Preheat oven to 350 
  6. Bake for 10 minutes

Bean Soup

I didn't use a recipe but Nita liked it anyway.

One package of dry navy beans and one package of purple hull beans - follow preparation instructions. Season to taste.

First day was just the beans as a side dish.

Second day, I added about 1/4 lb. cooked ground beef.

Third day, I added water, a can of Great Northern Beans, celery and onion and made it into a soup that lasted 2 more meals.
