I love going out to breakfast, but it's complicated.

 I love to go out to eat.  It's literally the best.  Someone else does all the cooking and cleaning, and I just have a glass of wine and eat yummy food.  (Wine doesn't hate me, by the way.) Or maybe, omelets with a steady stream of  blonde coffee. But, eating out, especially breakfast can be complicated.

I realized that I am to the point in my life that I have one of everything that I need or want. I recently got some little cast iron skillets from The Pampered Chef. They go from stove top to oven, and are the perfect size for making baked eggs.

I started with a dollop of bacon fat into my skillet.  I added diced onion and chopped asparagus and sautéed them a little.

I cracked two eggs into the skillet and let the whites cook on the bottom.  While all this was happening, I turned the oven on to 350*. Then I topped the eggs with vegan cheese and crumbled bacon.

And into the oven it went.  And stayed there until my vegan cheese tried to melt. A note on the vegan cheese; it doesn't taste like much, but it does give the melty texture of cheese when it finally does melt.  I take the eggs out of the oven before the cheese is fully melted, but the heat of the dish continues to melt the cheese. 

OK, so why do I bake the eggs?  Because I only want the whites cooked.  And that's all I get.  Look at those oozy egg yolks pouring over the asparagus and onions!

Now, If only I could get someone to do all the clean up.  I'd leave a big tip for that.
