Egg in a Hole
Egg in the hole makes a delicious breakfast! A runny yolk egg cooked in the center of a piece of toast and eaten with a fork is a great way to enjoy an egg in a slightly different way. My kids feel fancy when eating these.
Onion and Cheddar Burgers
For an extra Italian twist, substitute 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for the cheddar cheese. Enjoy!
Teriyaki Drumettes
Because it's boiled, this teriyaki turns into a great caramelized sauce that can be drizzled across the chicken and steamed white rice for a nice side dish. This can be made with any kind of meat - drumettes make a great party item. Recipe doubles nicely.
