90. Bulls-Eye Egg, Fun Food

Kids love fun food, and as it turns out, sometimes I do too. Growing up, I only remember one recipe that was changed from its original appearance to specifically delight us children...pancakes. I was allowed to make them in the shape of our initials or other letters to spell out words when placed side by side on a plate. Since the first side down was the best side...I found out quickly how hard it was to pour the batter to make thin, backwards representation of most letters...

My own children had a few more kid-friendly creations besides pancake letters...ants on a log, frozen bananas on a stick, cookies with faces, and other things. The internet, however, is bulging with ideas for kid food...many of which are a little over the top and include excessive steps to create food choices that supposedly will get children to eat. We, on the other hand, ate because we had played hard outside and were hungry!

One little kid-friendly dish that I have to admit I still make for our big-kid breakfasts, on occasion, is Bull's Eye Eggs. Something about it is wonderfully tasty.

Hint: Use a good quality bread for a better tasting meal.

Bull's Eye Eggs 1 slice of good bread
Margarine or butter
McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning (optional)
or Salt and Pepper
Spray hot griddle or frying pan with Pam. Butter one side of a slice of bread. Cut the center out of the bread with a biscuit cutter. Lay both pieces of bread, butter side down, on the hot griddle. Immediately, break egg into the center of the cutout. Sprinkle with seasoning. When partially cooked, carefully flip the egg and bread slice over. Check the little cutout circle of bread for browning...set it aside when golden. Cook turned egg for 30-60 seconds or until the white is cooked.
Turn egg and bread over as it is placed on a plate. Serve with a side of fruit, bacon, sausage, etc. Recipe may be increased: 1 egg per slice of bread
