Egg Thingys for Slack Mums

April 15, 2013 · 32 Comments

 

Okay, so I could have called this recipe something fancy, but quite frankly, I couldn’t be stuffed!

I have been talking with some other women in the wellness world about being real and authentic.

I figure you have already worked out that I keep things pretty real. My food styling leaves a lot to be desired, I have appeared on the blog in aΒ face mask and my dressing gown and I had a melt-down about what I found in my son’s shoe drawer that time.

Just a few examples.

I would hate anyone to think I am a natural, new age mum 100% of the time.

I try, I aspire, but I am only human. I just do the best I can.

 

Anyway, what has all that go to do with these eggy things?

Well this is a perfect recipe for those times you really can’t be stuffed cooking!

On those slack days where I just am so tired and really can’t be bothered, I make my egg thingys.

Super-slack mum for the win! (I’m not sure what that means, but all the cool kids are saying it)

I’m so slack, I don’t even have a real recipe, but here you go anyway. πŸ˜‰

 

Egg Thingys for Slack Mums

grain-free, gluten-free, nut-free

Okay, so this is what you need:

organic, free range eggs

organic or nitrate free bacon, diced

green shallots, chopped

baby spinach, shredded

fetta or ricotta, diced or crumbled roughly

cherry tomatoes, halved

herbs, salt and pepper

whatever else needs using up in the fridge (leftover veges are perfect)

 

 

Okay, so this is what you do:

Preheat your oven to 180Β°C.

Get out your muffin tin and line it with some cupcake papers.

Now, don’t be slack and skip this step. If you don’t use papers, you will be cleaning out that stuck on egg for days.

Trust me on this one.

If You Care baking cups

I like to use the non-stick, non-toxic ones by If You CareΒ (pictured).

Divide up all the ingredients except the eggs and put evenly into the muffin tin.

Don’t put too much in or you will get spillage (and that involves cleaning!).

Crack an egg into each one. Whack into the oven. Go put your feet up.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until egg is firm.

Fling onto a plate, serve up for dinner. If you are feeling not so slack, add some salad.

Hot tip: make lots and you can use them for breakfast or lunch boxes the next day. They are also great if you have to feed a crowd for breakfast.

 

What do you like to make for dinner when you can’t be stuffed? I’d love to know !

 

FEEDBACK:

Rachael said “IΒ made those egg thingys for my son this week and he loved them! Thanks for sharing! He is dairy free so I didn’t include the cheese but I added more veg to bulk it out. They were great!!!”

    Love it Sonia πŸ™‚
    Will be making these tonight!
    On my super slack dinners when only my son is home.
    I make him what we call “piggy, chicken in a hole”
    That is sort of like yours but with organic bread with the hole cut out and buttered both sides. Break egg into the hole and Add ham or bacon on top. Cook and turn over near the end πŸ™‚
    Hey presto! Piggy Chicken in a hole LOL

    I love this…eggs are such a lifesaver in situations like this. I need really quick meals now that I’m studying, but I won’t compromise on nutrition either! This definitely fits the bill πŸ™‚

    Best recipe name ever Sonia! You can hardly call yourself slack – at least you didn’t dial-a-dinner!

    Toasted sambos are my lazy dinner – in the sandwich press, so it feels a little fancier, then topped with a fried egg. Done!

    The other night I made these amazing moroccan spiced meat balls, but once I put them in the oven and sat down I felt exhausted and couldn’t be bothered making the sauce and cous cous to go with them. So I just told hubby to make himself a meatball sandwich. He loved it! (Go figure).

    Quiche is an easy dinner in this household. Otherwise I tend to make double of anything freezeable so I normally have frozen dinners to fall back on.

      Yes I love that idea! I used to have a good stash, but with growing teens, they seem to eat everything before I can freeze it.

    Eggs were made for mums like me! I buy organic eggs, they’re expensive…so even easier to feign virtue for serving them up for dinner, or breakfast…or lunch!

      they are expensive to normal eggs, but still less than $1 each, so a good value dinner!

    I will whip up a frittata with anything I can find in my veggie crisper, or roast veggies, when I can’t be bothered with anything too fancy.

    These little egg thingys look quite the treat. I think I have tomorrow’s lunch sorted.

    Scrambled eggs with baked beans and bacon rashers – the kids love it!!
    Add toast for hubby πŸ™‚

    The other night, I was doing a basic steak and baked spuds and had some veg soup on the go. I blended some smooth for the boys, called it ‘pumpkin soup’ and gave the kids a bowl each for starters. they loved it despite Connor pronouncing the same veg soup ‘disgusting’ when served it unblended the other day πŸ™‚ A win for mum!

    I have decided this is what is for dinner tonight (it’s healthy but still quick, I’ve been having a lot of lazy dinners this week, it’s just one of those weeks n I haven’t got any prepared meals in the freezer).
    Thank you
