Heart-Felt Breakfast!

Here is something fun you can make with your kids for Valentines Day!
Heart-Shaped Eggs in Toast
Ingredients:
Bread
Eggs
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
1. Using kitchen shears, cut out a heart in the middle of a piece of bread. You could also use a cookie cutter, but my heart-shaped one was too big.
 
2. Spray a pan with non-stick spray, then place your bread in the pan. Crack an egg into the center of the bread. (My oldest hates a runny yoke, so for him I mix the egg up in a mixing bowl first, then pour the mixed egg in the pan.)
3. Sprinkle with salt & pepper (if desired) then let it set for about 4 minutes. 
 
4. When the egg is set, flip it over and continue cooking on the other side until the egg cooks to your liking. 
 
…and thats it! (It looks prettier on white bread, but wheat was all I had!)
And what should you do with the hearts from the inside? Make french toast!
 
My kids loved these! Its amazing how fun a meal can become when you change the shape! Another variation would be to add red food coloring to your eggs when you mix it up for some red hearts! Enjoy!

    We toast and butter both sides of our bread before we cut the center out. Then just put the center in the pan with the "eggy toast" as my son calls them. The centers are fantastic this way. Have never thought to make them into french toast, might have to try that!

    Love this idea! We use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and it works great when the bread is a little frozen. :)

    Thanks for sharing!

    Steph….how did you get it to stay in the heart shape? I made this for dinner tonight and the egg splattered everywhere and you can't tell at all that it's a heart. What am I doing wrong?

    My dad would made this for us growing up (without the heart shape) but it was called "sh*t on a shingle.
    Not as sweet that way, huh? :)
