Golden Rod Eggs

This is my ultimate comfort food-and all the pictures are mine! This was a favorite breakfast item from my childhood, that I just figured out how to integrate it into my dinner menu, cause that's how I roll...

First you need to get some eggs boiling. The number depends on how many you are feeding and how big their appetites are. In my family of 4, I cook 4 eggs. Most people know how to hard boil eggs, but for those with questions, I boil for 15 minutes. Works every time.



Next you need to get your biscuits in the oven. The eggs and the biscuits take the longest to cook. I cheat and use the store bought, put in the oven kind...

(Watch out they POP!)



For you over achievers, I'm sure you can make biscuits homemade, you just won't find those instructions here...

Next we'll work on the gravy. I cheat here too. I know that white gravy is simple to make, but I've never mastered gravy at all, so when my sister told me about packets you can buy, I'm thinking why not...




You do have to be sure to stir well, so you don't burn the bottom and I do add salt and pepper to taste. When I was done with it, it tasted just like my dad used to make...



Next after checking that your biscuits aren't burning, your eggs should be done. When they are, after enough time has elapsed, run cold water over them so you can shell them. When you shell them, separate the yolk into a bowl, and the whites get cut up and mixed unto the gravy.



Smash up yolks with a fork and get cheese. As I've admitted a few times I'm a cheater, I buy my cheese already grated, if this isn't the case at your house, then you've got more work to do...






Now comes the best part of all and that's assembly... Take a biscuit, split it in half and set it on your plate. Put some gravy on each side. Put some cheese on that, and sprinkle some egg yolk on that, and you get the finished product...





My husband said this was the happiest I've looked at dinner time in a long time...
