Simple Shirred Eggs & Trout Fishing


A few years ago J & I escaped to the Rockies for a few days.
We stayed in the adorable town of Basalt, where we
fished one of my favorite rivers.
The Frying Pan.



If you have not fished this river & plan to there are a few things I'd tell you before you go.
1. Bring very warm socks. The prime section sits below a (bottom release) dam 
the water is very, very cold. 
2. Bring a camera. The fish on this river are amazing.
3. Bring a box of Allen Brother's Baetis Emerger & Dun Patterns.
4. Stop @ Bernard's Cafe for breakfast.

While on this short & sweet vacay I picked up a magazine that featured Shirred Eggs.


They looked perfect. And since my fisherman likes a hearty egg breakfast every morning, I like finding various ways to serve them.


Speaking of service, I am excited about working at the Muskegon River lodge, 
catering breakfast & dinner. This has me tweaking some
favorite breakfast recipes. And my test subjects had their fill this morning.


Simply:
Preheat to 375
Butter Ramekins
Add 1 Tbsp cream or 1/2 & 1/2
Crack 2 eggs in - keep yolk intact
Sprinkle on diced chives 
Top with grated Parmesan or other favorite cheese 
Bake about 15 min. for a soft yolk & closer to 17 for a hard yolk.

Smile, sigh, sit back & enjoy!
