17
days into the Challenge, 28 recipes so far and, last night, the blog reached an
important milestone as it recorded over 1,000 hits since it began so a big THANK
YOU to all of you for reading. Without you, this blog wouldn’t be as much fun! Sometimes,
I feel like no one is reading this blog at all and my successes and disasters
are simply going into the modern-day abyss that is the Internet but thanks to
my page statistics, apparently there are many of you reading so, again, thank
you!!!
Sunday
morning again and a cooked breakfast again which, very often, involves eggs.
This time it was the turn of the Spiced
baked eggs. These were super simple to prepare. One egg in each ramekin
followed by a sprinkling of mixed spices (ground cumin, paprika and cayenne
pepper) followed with salt, pepper and cream. Into the oven for what should
have been 8-12 minutes but I actually left them in longer (probably 15 minutes)
as the egg whites hadn’t fully set after 12 minutes. Once done, they were
accompanied by tea and toast.
The
verdict…
Dear
Husband gave them 5 out of 10 which I wasn’t surprised about as I knew these wouldn’t
surpass the infamous Baked eggs with
chorizo, cream and cheese which I make so often. I must ask Dear Husband
what marks out of 10 the usual baked eggs get! I’d guess that they are at least
a 9 if not full marks. Anyway, back to today’s eggs and he said they were nice
but he wasn’t fussed on eating the second one so I suspect that they were
probably less than a 5. However, after yesterday’s disaster, he was probably trying
to spare my feelings or half-worried that he won't get to be the guinea pig any more (lol!) although I always tell him that he must be brutally honest
no matter how bad a recipe is. As for Dear Son, I don’t think he even looked
twice at them. He didn’t eat one bite although he would normally eat
the other eggs.
So,
once again, this is a recipe that won’t make a regular appearance in my
kitchen. Simple recipe, fast but not a lot to write about. The good news is
that tomorrow I know I am onto a winner so stay tuned… J
