At For The Love of Breakfast we like to keep the most important meal of the day interesting! And healthy, of course. We were brainstorming about baked eggs – a delicious and nutritious breakfast?- and wanted to do something that is a twist on the original. The Double Egg Treasure Chest is a playful alternative to the boring old baked egg on toast. Inspired by a pirate movie or two, we toyed with this recipe until we had just the right amount of flavor to be delivered in a fun package. These simple and flavorful ingredients create a delight with each bite and best of all, you can roast the tomatoes right on the vine on the same pan making for an easy clean up.
