Beans and Eggs One-Skillet Recipe

by

Try a delicious one-skillet breakfast recipe for beans and eggs. This egg recipe is easily adjustable for any family meal; just add as many eggs to the recipe as you have folks to feed! I like to spice up this bean dish with hot pepper and lots of seasoning, because beans and tomato can handle a lot of added flavor.

Ingredients for Beans and Eggs

4 EGGS …add more eggs for more mouths!
15oz can BEANS …white beans are my favorite
15oz can diced TOMATOES
1 finely chopped ONION
2 cloves minced GARLIC
fresh chopped HOT PEPPER
or try La Costena Chipotle like I use in the video recipe
a little OIL for cooking
seasonings like:
½ tsp SALT
½ tsp BLACK PEPPER
1 tsp PAPRIKA
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
…adjust seasonings to taste

Optional: fresh herbs or chopped green onion for garnish

How to Make One-Skillet Beans and Eggs

  • Heat about 1 Tbsp of oil in a skillet on medium heat.
  • When the skillet is hot, add chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add garlic and hot pepper and seasoning and continue cooking for 2 minutes more. I use La Costena Chipotle pepper in the recipe video. Check the current price for this Chipotle on Amazon.
  • Add canned beans and tomato and a little water. Stir, and bring the skillet up to a simmer, then cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir until liquid reduces to saucey, but not too wet.
  • Crack eggs into the skillet, leaving space between them.
  • Cover and let cook 4-6 minutes more until the eggs are done to your liking…cook for a bit more than this if you like the yolks hard.
  • Turn off the heat, and serve the eggs and beans immediately. Garnish with fresh green herbs or green onion for a picture perfect meal.

Egg in a Basket Recipe for Brunch

by

This Egg in a Basket Recipe is a fun way of serving up eggs and toast, and if you use fancy bread and colorful breakfast sides, you can even pass eggs in a basket off as an upscale brunch dish. I like to cook my egg toast with a lot of butter, because this makes the bread rich and crispy like a crouton.

What You Need for this Egg Recipe

1 large EGG
1 slice BREAD
1-2 Tbsp BUTTER

Egg in a basket is a super simple breakfast dish to prepare, and a fun way to cook up breakfast for kids. But if you jazz the egg recipe up a bit, it can easily transform into a fancy brunch meal for anytime of the day.

How to Make an Egg in a Basket

  • Use a nice bread. In the video, I use a Thyme and Olive loaf. It’s super tasty all on it’s own, so it’s naturally going to elevate a simple egg in a basket dish.
  • I like to buy a whole bread loaf and slice it myself. A nice rustic cut of bread makes a dish fancier.
  • Cut your bread slices about ½ an inch thick, and don’t cut the egg hole in the bread TOO BIG. You want the egg to fill the hole, and not stretch out too thin. And you want enough bread surface around the hole to toast up.
  • Heat a skillet on low-medium heat. Add butter and melt.
  • Add in the bread slice and coat butter on one side, then turn the slice and butter up the other side. Let the bread grill for a minute or so until it begins to brown, then flip and let the other side grill.
  • Break an egg into the hole in the toast. Let the egg cook long enough to set, then flip the toast and let the egg cook on the other side.
  • Once the egg is cooked to your desire, remove the egg bread from the skillet and serve hot.

A good skillet is essential for this kind of egg dish. You can check current prices for a shiny new Non-Stick Skillet on Amazon.

This is a cool recipe to serve over a salad, or anything you like, especially if you’re like me and enjoy over-easy style eggs. A runny yolk makes a great sauce! Also garnish your egg bread with cilantro, parsley, or your favorite fresh herbs, and this simple childhood dish will instantly become a fancy treat.

Do you have a favorite salad dressing or sauce? Drizzle a bit over egg in a basket, because that’s what they’d do in a hipster restaurant, and then charge you $20 for “Eggs al Basquet”.

Dash Egg Cooker Review and 3 ways to make Eggs

by
dash egg cooker

We tried the Dash Egg Cooker, which is basically an egg steamer. The rapid egg cooker model we reviewed can “boil” 1-6 eggs at a time. In addition to cooking soft, medium, or hard-boiled eggs, you can also make an easy omelet, which was really more like an egg scramble. The best feature of the egg cooker was its use as an egg poacher, since it can poach two perfect eggs faster than you can boil a pot of water.

Trying Out the Egg Cooker for the 1st Time

The Dash Go Egg Cooker model I tried didn’t have an alarm, but the newer model Dash egg cookers do, and they are also rated pretty well over on Amazon. Check out the current prices for a Rapid Egg Cooker on Amazon.

Complete Egg Cooker includes 3 distinct trays for different egg styles

Why buy this egg cooker?

  • Good for a quick egg dish for 1 to 2 people.
  • Great for poaching 2 eggs pretty fast.
  • Sturdy build for a kitchen gadget, and not too expensive.
  • No muss, no fuss boiled eggs soft, medium, or hard.
  • Easy clean up.

Why you don’t need this egg cooker:

  • Not practical for preparing eggs for more than 2 people at a time.
  • The omelets are more like egg scrambles.
  • Other than poaching 2 eggs, it’s not particularly “rapid”.
  • How hard is it to cook eggs? If you currently have a stove, a pot, and a pan, then you can already cook eggs any way you want…so do you need a new gadget taking up space in the kitchen?

Well constructed and pretty cheap last time I looked on amazon.

Cleaning Up the Dash Egg Cooker

It’s a pretty hassle free clean up. The base of the Dash Egg Cooker is electric and not safe to put in a dishwasher or submerge under water. You might get some stains on the heating pad from egg residue, but just add a splash of vinegar and it wipes right off. The plastic omelet tray, poaching tray, boiled-egg holder, and steaming dome are all dishwasher and sink safe, so wash accordingly.

Dash Egg Cooker Conclusion

I’m not a kitchen gadget guy, because I’d rather have free counter and cabinet space, but overall I have to give the Dash egg cooker a thumbs up. It’s not TOO big, it’s not overly junky in its construction, and it does a good job cooking eggs. If you like gadgets, then this device is not a total rip-off. I can see where it would be useful to someone wanting a quick egg without a lot of hassle. Here’s our affiliate link if you want to check out the egg cooker on Amazon.
