Buckle up, because we’re about to crack open a whole new world of breakfast possibilities with Watermelon Eggs!
Yes, you read that right. Eggs. In Watermelon.
This recipe might sound strange, but trust me, it’s a flavor combination that works wonders. The sweet, refreshing watermelon pairs perfectly with the savory richness of the eggs, creating a breakfast (or brunch!) that’s both satisfying and light. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make, perfect for those mornings when you’re short on time.
Ingredients:
- 1 wedge of watermelon, about 1-inch thick
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional: chives, parsley, basil)
- crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Method:
-
Prepare the Watermelon: Using a spoon or melon baller, create a shallow well in the center of your watermelon wedge. Make sure the well is large enough to comfortably hold two eggs.
-
Crack and Season: Carefully crack each egg and gently pour them into the well in the watermelon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
The Big Cook: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the watermelon wedge (with the eggs!) into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Garnish and Enjoy! Once cooked, carefully remove the watermelon wedge from the pan and plate it up. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs (if using) and crumbled feta cheese (optional) for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips and Tricks:
- For a vegetarian option, simply omit the feta cheese.
- Feeling adventurous? Experiment with different herbs and spices! A pinch of smoked paprika or a sprinkle of chili flakes can add a touch of heat.
- Leftovers? Not likely! But if you do have any, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
So ditch the boring breakfast routine and give Watermelon Eggs a try! This simple recipe is sure to become a new favorite, and who knows, you might just be amazed by the results!
