Preparation Tips for Sunshine Eggs

Preparation Tips for Sunshine Eggs

  • With a slice of whole wheat bread, cut a circle or other shape out of the middle.
  • I was taught to butter both sides of the bread and put it on a hot griddle.  However, I stopped doing that years ago.  Just spray the pan with some cooking spray so your egg doesn’t stick, and it cooks just fine.
  • Grill one side of the bread to slightly toast it, and flip to the other side.
  • Crack and egg into the center of the bread slowly to keep the egg within the borders of your hole.
  • Only cook one side.  The eggs pictured were only cooked on one side.  Some kids like their eggs runny anyway, so I just waited until all the whites had been cooked through and it was finished.  Other kids like a hard yolk, so I cooked both sides. (the pictures just weren’t as pretty).
  • After the egg whites are no longer runny, slide the Sunshine Egg onto a plate.  Use the center piece of bread to dip in the yolk.

Kids love these and they are great for Valentines Day also!
