Some nights I’m too tired and cranky to put together a full meal so on those nights I often opt for breakfast for dinner.
Or Brinner.
Backwards breakfast.
Whatever.
It’s easy and good and always fun for the kiddos.
These eggs are a hit around our house and make me feel like I’m at least cooking eggs with some character, what with the goat cheese and all. And they couldn’t be easier…
One last thing while we’re on the subject of breakfast for dinner. On the weeks where we’ve entertained a lot or I’m running low on ingredients or we’ve splurged on steak or seafood, I’ll usually toss in an egg dish or vegetarian meal to balance out the week budget-wise. I had someone ask me the other day if I was straight-up lying about what I spend on a monthly basis for groceries and it occurred to me this was a trick I use that I hadn’t shared yet.
So there you go.
Brinner.
