Foodie Friday ~ Migas

Looks good doesn't it?

I needed to use up some

store bought eggs in a hurry.

Not because they were getting old.

Nope. 

 I had just purchased

a Costco sized carton of two dozen.

Then  just a few days later,

  I got to buy REAL eggs.

  Honest to goodness ~ home grown eggs

from a friend's daughter's chickens. 

I grew up having fresh eggs from our own chickens.

Back then I didn't have anything to do with the chickens. 

My brother took care of them, while I was just steps

away in my own world ~~ my very own garden.

But I remember the eggs.

There's nothing like really fresh,

 rich orangish yellow yolks.  So good.

I didn't use the precious

  Ameraucana eggs for this recipe. 

 Those eggs will shine on their own

as simply over easy,  with the whites done

 and the yolk runny to dunk toast corners in.

Sorry for the that image

 if you don't care for your eggs that way.

PW's recipe (link below) is

a fabulous way to use up a bunch of eggs.

I made this for dinner the other night.

I'll need to cut down the recipe

for just the two of us.  I used 11 eggs.

We still have leftover Migas  in the refrigerator,

and still more store bought eggs to use as well.

I did make breakfast last weekend using the

home grown eggs.   So~Very~Good.

Anyway,

here's the link to the recipe,

and yes I did copy her idea of serving

it with a sliced orange on a Fiesta Ware plate.

Uh, at least my plate IS a different color.

Here's another interesting link to an article I found

when trying to find out how to spell Ameraucana.

OK then,   I'm off to go mow the lawn

and battle the ivy creeping into the kitchen porch garden.

Take care, and have a fun weekend.
