Eggs In A Basket



I got this yummy idea from Jerry Jones Stone's Eggs In a Basket Grilled Cheese with Asparagus recipe at cookingstoned.tv.  Since I didn't want all the cheese and butter I just put my own spin on it.  Here's Jerry's recipe if you want to check it out.  His pictures are fabulous and are guaranteed to make you drool.  My family enjoyed this yummy delight with fruit on the side!


Ingredients:
1 egg
2 slices of Whole Grain bread (I prefer Publix's fresh bread)
5 or so asparagus spears, blanched
1 tsp Coconut Oil

Time:  20 minutes
Oven temp: 250

1.  Blanch asparagus (if unsure how to do this check out Jerry's site here).
2.  Heat up iron skillet on medium, melt coconut oil.  Toast bread. Put toast to the side.  (Jerry cuts out the center for an actual "basket".  As you can see in the picture... I forgot to do this.)
3.  Fry egg, but not well.
3.  Place one slice of bread on pan.  Add asparagus, egg (and cheese if you wish) to the bundle, cover with blanket.  I chose to heat sandwich in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes (just keep an eye on it).  If you choose not to do this, you may want to cook the egg for longer on the stove.
5.  Eat and enjoy!
