BROILED EGGS
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp butter
sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned)
fresh snipped chives
salt and pepper
6 to 9 eggs (I used 8)
Put the milk and butter in a broiler proof pan, and put them under the broiler until the butter melts and the milk is hot. Add the mushrooms and return to the broiler for a minute. (Note: I only put the mushrooms in 2/3 of the pan, since you all know I don't eat fungus. I didn't want to deprive my guys.) Meanwhile, break the eggs carefully into a bowl, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. When the mushrooms are broiled, slide the eggs into the pan, atop the mushrooms. Sprinkle the chives over the top of the eggs, and return to the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes, until the whites are set, but the yolks still run. Serve with toast.
This was actually a low-mess method of cooking eggs, and faster than trying to cook the same quantity in a skillet on the stove top. In fairness, however, I don't believe you'd enjoy this all that much on a Saturday in August, when it's 90 degrees out. Just saying.
Anyway, thanks, Pam, for a good idea! I'll be cooking eggs this way again.

Sounds yummy! I had lobster benedict yesterday that was fabulous!
I'm not an egg person (too slimy)but Rob would probably like that.
I love that you agree with me about dust and pawprints. There are just so many more important and fun things to do than to obsess over something you can't defeat.

I am thinking I may want this for dinner tonight.
Glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day, Marjie, you received some beautiful flowers!
Heaven! I'm tempted to try it with spinach tonight. Sissy thinks it looks grand, but can't have onions...
Those look de-lish!! I like the spinach idea, too. Thanks!

Not for me - too easy to end up with slimy whites (shudders) I bet hubby would like them though. BTW - looks like you had a great Mother's Day - pretty flowers !
I am so glad you guys liked them... my husband and I thought they were great!
That sounds super easy! we have only recently started allowing fungus to enter our house, so this might be a good recipe for us to add more into our diet lol
What a great method for cooking "sunnyside-up" eggs for a number of folks, and being able to serve all of them at once. Plus I'm always in favour of cutting back on the washing up!
I also tried this recipe and it was a brilliant idea. I will certainly use again and again. Diane
Are they squishy?
We love eggs here and I'll be giving this a shot tomorrow at breakfast.
i don't think i'll ever see the last new way to prepare eggs! this is a great idea and one i've certainly never seen before. it's definitely worth a try.
I am definitely going to make these next week--looks fantastic and simple.
How simple! I'll definitely be giving this one a try this weekend, because as far as I'm concerned, weekend cooking always has to be 'minimum fuss' - or it doesn't happen! Which might be why I eat a lot of toast on Saturday nights. ;)
