My Mother used to make the best breakfasts (still does-I just don't live there anymore)
She would slice tomatoes and saute in butter then add green beans and then eggs. This was my favorite. She also made "cookie" eggs where she would punch out the center of a slice of bread with a shot glass, then toast the bread in the pan and then crack an egg in the center. The "cookie" part came when she would toast the center cutout in a little butter-until crispy. This was mine and my brother's favorite breakfasts.
I realize now it was a way to stretch eggs and save a few pennies but I don't care. Whenever I need some comfort food I make cookie eggs or tomato eggs. Stephanie loves breakfast like this too. I guess this is how traditions are started.
