Bunny-in-the-Hole
My kids love breakfast foods but it’s tough to get them to sit down and spend a moment or two enjoying their breakfast. That’s why I was psyched to run across this recipe from Kraft Foods. I made a few changes, but it’s still fairly close to the original recipe. Cute and nutritious! It’s especially appropriate just after Easter when the kids are still thinking about bunnies (of course, my kids are still playing “Jingle Bells” too, but they’re a little odd that way).
8 slices wheat or multi-grain bread
4 tsp. butter, melted
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 eggs
Suggested decorations: 8 green peas, 4 small triangles of red pepper and 8 fresh scallions
PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Cut out hole in center of each of 4 of the bread slices with a 3-1/2 inch egg-shaped cookie cutter. Cut each cutout lengthwise in half to make the “bunny’s ears.”
BRUSH remaining 4 bread slices with butter; place, butter sides down, on ungreased baking sheet. Cover each with 1 cheese slice; top with 1 of the bread slices with the hole. Carefully break 1 egg into center of each hole. Decorate each egg with 2 peas for the “eyes,” a red pepper triangle for the “nose” and scallions for the “whiskers.”
BAKE 15 min. or until cheese is melted and egg is set but slightly runny, adding the ears to the oven for the last 5 min. of the baking time. Arrange 2 of the ears at the top of each bunny’s head just before serving.
