Egg Puffs

Originally uploaded by improvisationalgourmet

My older daughter came home from school one day and said, “Mom, you have to make these egg things!” I asked her about them. She explained, “You make them like pancakes, and put bacon in them.” Her friend, a picky eater, would only eat these for lunch — and they were cold.

Deciding that egg “pancakes” seemed like too much trouble, I got out the sandwich maker, spun six eggs in the Ninja blender with a little milk, then poured the eggs into the heated sandwich maker. I then sprinkled a little bacon in each one (the kind of real bacon bits that you buy already done for you). I didn’t really time them, I just took them out when the sandwich maker started opening up (I never latch it).

They are so easy, and such a big hit for us; and yes, we eat them cold if there are any leftover.

I like mine with a little sprinkle of cheese, and maybe some salsa — but they’re good plain, too.
