Basic Egg Hoosh

Serves Two hungry guys, or three gentle ladies.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced.
  • Bacon grease for frying garlic & onions
  • Half a pound of bacon, fried and chopped into 3/8” chunks
  • Six large eggs.
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese (sharp is best), cubed
  • 3 oz parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Fry up the garlic and onions on medium heat. Add the cooked, diced bacon. When it’s all hot, crack the eggs into the frypan. Add the cheddar cheese and do not stir yet. Season with salt & pepper to taste. When the eggs begin to cook on the bottom, begin to stir gently. As the eggs cook and the cheddar melts, add parmesan cheese.

Serve with more parmesan sprinkled on top, and/or some salsa next to it.

Review: I've been making this, and variants of this, for decades. Another name is "Clean Refrigerator Eggs": whatever you find goes in the eggs. This was what came together today, and it was perfect. I like it with a thin slice of homemade bread with homemade jam (the jam's her domain), and a glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Love it!
