Thrown-together breakfast

[See update below]

So, believe this or not- for the first time in the history of the Yew household, we were almost clean out of breakfast food.

We're talking no bread, no cereal, no yogurt, no oatmeal. Well, we had coffee and milk, but then again, we ALWAYS have coffee and milk... Anyways, the last time we went to the store was before Boston, and we just haven't found the time to shop again since. But we did have 3 eggs and some potatoes, so I adapted this recipe I found on the Food Network for Baked Eggs and Hash. Once again, our nifty new Calphalon skillet came to the rescue (which by the way, Jude had found on Amazon at an obscene 80% discount!)- I love being able to cook something on the stove-top and then finishing it in the oven.

Also, instead of using just oregano on the eggs, I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. It's one my favorite things from one of my favorite stores- it's got a combination of your regular herbs, but also some interesting flavors like orange peel, cayenne pepper and savory. We put it on everything, from our scrambled eggs to roasted veggies.

Breakfast turned out rather yummy for a first attempt :) The eggs were just nice- firm whites and slightly oozy yolks, and extremely tasty too coz of the herbs and Parmesan cheese (don't leave this out!) With a steaming mug of coffee, a late breakfast in front of the TV on another snowy morning was a sweet way to slowly round off what's been an already wonderful spring break :)

Update: We finally went grocery shopping and stocked up on bread, a dozen eggs, TWO kinds of cereal, oranges, strawberries, and a 5lb bag of potato. There will not be a breakfast crisis in this house for a while... :)
