About two weeks ago, my friend Magpie posted a recipe for “Eggs in Hiding<\/a>,” which she had come across while nostalgically flipping through old cookbooks.<\/p>\n

EGGS IN HIDING<\/p>\n

1 T. butter
\n1 can condensed tomato soup
\n\u00c2\u00bd pound American cheese, diced
\n6 hard-cooked eggs
\n1 cup cereal flakes, crushed<\/p>\n

Heat butter and soup in top of double boiler. Add cheese and cook until melted, stirring constantly. Arrange halves of hard-cooked eggs (cut lengthwise) in buttered baking dish. Pour cheese mixture over eggs. Sprinkle with cereal flakes. Brown under broiler. Serves 6.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know.\u00c2\u00a0 Awesome right?<\/p>\n

Mag challenged folks to make it.\u00c2\u00a0 A few jumped to the challenge in an instant<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Me, well, fast is relative during Jazz Fest season but I managed to think ahead and make preparations over the weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 Tonight’s experiment almost failed between the kids stealing cheese while I’m trying to peel eggs, Kate’s diaper explosion and necessary immediate shower, Will coming in covered in mud, and Paul coming in covered in mud AND insulation… all while I’m suppose to be stirring continuously and\/or watching a broiler.\u00c2\u00a0 But, I pulled it off!<\/p>\n

I even took pictures.\u00c2\u00a0 (These were taken with one of the point-and-shoot cameras from the Photovoice project — I’m trying to get more familiar with them and the more I use it, the more fantastic a camera I think this is for the price.\u00c2\u00a0 But I digress.)<\/p>\n

The recipe calls for American, but I used a domestic Cheddar (sounds fancy, huh?)\u00c2\u00a0 Also, I used two cans of tomato soup.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

I didn’t want leftovers, so I only used 4 eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Here’s the soup and cereal on top.\u00c2\u00a0 Will ate the box of corn flakes before I had a chance to make it, so we actually had to go and buy a second box for the recipe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

It’s under the broiler now.\u00c2\u00a0 Considering all the running around I did while it was cooking in there, I was surprised it didn’t burn.\u00c2\u00a0 Also, the eggs were made Saturday and had been in the fridge since then — but everything was warm through when it came out of the oven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

The finished product!\u00c2\u00a0 It had started to brown a tiny bit in the top center.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

FINAL REPORT: They loved it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

No, really, they did.\u00c2\u00a0 And this is really saying something, as my kids make a point to try to starve themselves at dinner time.\u00c2\u00a0 But you don’t have to take my word for it…<\/p>\n
