Eggs in sauce

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom or Cream of Chicken Soup
¼ cup Milk; (approx.)
⅛ teaspoon Dried salad herbs; (or tarragon)
¼ teaspoon Dried parsley
1 dash Seasoned salt
4 Eggs
¼ cup Shredded cheddar cheese
2 slices Dry toast

Directions

Mix soup, milk, salad herbs, parsley, and seasoned salt in skillet. Heat until mixture is smooth and not too thick (nor too runny! Add milk to get to a nice saucy consistency).

Break two eggs at a time into a small bowl, and them slip them into the skillet (they "poach" in the sauce).

Cover skillet; turn heat to *low* and poach eggs to desired degree of doneness (I usually put the skillet on the burner until the sauce bubbles a bit, then move the skillet off the heat for a minute, then back to the heat until I'm satisfied. Remember that because the sauce is hot, the eggs will continue to cook even after you take them off the burner to serve them).

Place one piece of toast on each of two serving plates. With a spatula, set two eggs on each toast, then spoon sauce remaining in skillet over eggs.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and serve. Serves 2.

Source: Better Homes and Gardens magazine, more than twenty years ago! This is a wonderful Saturday or Sunday brunch recipe. Goodness only knows how many calories are involved here, but I have gone to skim milk, low-fat soup, and low-fat cheese for this dish. It's a favorite in our house.

Serve with more toast, jam, whatever other "go-withs" you like for breakfast.
