Of Eggs and Pigs in Blankets

We had an 'experiment' filled lunch today.


Bro made his egg-which-sticks-on-the-toast toast today. He tried placing the slice of bread on a frying pan and then he cracked the egg on the bread hoping that it would cook. But alas, it didn't. Hence, he turned to the oven for rescue. And thank god it did.

With some garlic butter spread on the bread and some black pepper sprinkled over the egg. It looked good, if not calorie laden!




In the meantime, I decided to make pigs in a blanket. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_in_a_blanket) It was something I first had during the first of my many Christmases back in Manchester. Sinful, but delicious!

Well, it's essentially cocktail sausages with slices of streaky bacon wrapped over it. However, we decided to substitute the cocktail sausages with German Bratwurst for a crunchier and meaty bite. :P

It turned out fine but would have been better had we used cocktail sausages. Firstly, we didn't have enough bacon to go round the Bratwursts. And secondly, lazy me didn't bother using a toothpick/cocktail stick to hold the bacon in place. Hence, the 'blanket' slipped off the 'pig' at the end of the cooking process.

Nonetheless, here's the end product.


Note to self:
Will use toothpicks and get more bacon if we use German Bratwurst again. Otherwise, will buy cocktail sausages for it.
