Walk-Away Breakfast

There are just those mornings when nobody has time to sit down and eat. If you have a toaster, microwave oven and five minutes, you can make this delicious morning meal, wrap it in a paper napkin, and eat it on the road!

My husband loves this served open face on a Sunday morning. He calls it the “egg thing” and it is his most-requested breakfast.
