Breakfast Hands Free? Is it possible? Well not totally, but a hands free breakfast may be closer than you think. The oven is a fabulous device once you learn how to harness the power, set timer and walk away. Walking away is my favorite part.
Chores to be ignored
It allows me to move on to other tasks. A task of your choosing, you now have choices.
-
- popping in a load of laundry
-
- folding a basket clothes
-
- knocking out a chore of the ever-growing list
- and so on
My favorite items in lieu of chores
For the a true Sunday kind-of-day, you should resort to the following:
-
- Cup of coffee on the porch
-
- Read a magazine article
- Grab your novel and chill
An easy breakfast recipe has been on my list to try for awhile. This is it, in the simplest of forms. The concept may be altered to include any number of spices, herbs or vegetables. I wanted a recipe that would allow for a crowd and minimal work in the kitchen.
Breakfast Hands Free recipe is designed around carving out “porch time”. Nothing is better than a cup of coffee on the porch with guests. If you have a porch, I don’t need to explain this to you. If your house is missing a porch, set up a table in your yard. It is not quite the same but it will do until you add a porch.
For the next month, we will host an assortment of family and friends in our home. I am looking forward to the time that we will spend together. We will laugh, eat, imbibe, suck heads (crawfish, people) play cards and tell tall tales. A hands free breakfast will come in handy to maximize the “porch time”.

Hands Free Breakfast designed to allow you to pop in oven and move on. This may be easily adapted for increased quantity in numbers.

- 1 Pound Sausage cut into 1 " pieces
- 1/4 Teaspoon Butter
- 8 Farm Fresh Eggs
- Preheat oven to 350. In baking pan, add sausage and cook for 10 minutes. Set timer.
- Meanwhile, select small oven approved glass dishes ( I used old Pyrex) and wipe bottom and sides with butter. Add two eggs per dish. Add egg dishes in oven when timer dings for sausage.
- Depending on how you like your eggs will dictate the cook time. I like the yolk moist and not solid, 6-7 minutes should do it. I remove my egg from oven and cover with lid. Grill-Man likes his eggs cooked all the way through and then some. At the 7 minute point, I add a lid to his egg to steam for 2 minutes without turning to a crisp. Set timer.
- Remove sausage from oven and place on paper towel to capture excess oil. Using a large spoon slide around the edges to remove and plate eggs. Note: Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Lagniappe: A baking tray of toast may be popped in oven while plating eggs and sausage for guests.
Looking forward to coffee on the porch
Coffee on the porch is always, good rain or shine.
