Christmas Breakfast

An easy way to showcase the eggs our chickens lay is to fry them up. Runny eggs and toast are a classic, delicious breakfast but it is fun to mix it up every once in a while. A friend of mine turned me on to this eggs and polenta combination and it has been my easy-looks-hard-and-tastes-great breakfast ever since.You can make the polenta ahead of time and use it for this recipe and other dishes throughout the week.

I decided to make fried eggs and polenta for Christmas morning breakfast to offset the amount of sugar I knew we would be taking in throughout the day. This recipe even works with scrambled eggs, which I discovered thanks to my brother and sister-in-law's egg preference :-)

Fried Eggs and Polenta

Start by making a batch of polenta on the stove top. Once the polenta is cooked, pour it in a bread loaf pan and chill in the fridge until solid.

Cut the polenta into 1/2 inch slices. Heat up a non-stick pan and add a tablespoon of oil. Fry the polenta on each side until golden brown. At the same time fry up two eggs over easy. Place two pieces of polenta on a plate and top each with a fried egg. Splash about one teaspoon of soy sauce or Bragg's on top of the eggs and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Enjoy!!
