This Moon Over breakfast was introduced to me by Kurt and his family. It was one of his favorites growing up. I learned how to make them, as a special breakfast for his birthday our first year of marriage. We’ve made them many, many times since then. Our kids love these too! They don’t require any unique ingredients, you probably have everything you need in your kitchen already. If you’re looking for great breakfast, brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner recipe, this is a great option.
Moon Overs
Ingredients
Bread Base
- 16 slices of bread
- 16 eggs
Cheese Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Colby Jack)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
- diced green onions
- avocados
Instructions
Bread Base
- Tear out a circle in the middle of each piece of bread.
- Using a non-stick spray coat a skillet and place bread on it.
- Crack an egg over the center of the bread where the hole was made.
- Cook over medium heat then flip to cook the other side. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or less for a runny yolk.
Cheese Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, blend in flour and salt, cook and stir until bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in milk, cook just until smooth and thickened.
- With a wooden spoon, stir in shredded cheese until melted, serve over egg and toast.
- Top with diced tomatoes, green onion, avocado, and sprinkled with salt.
We keep the torn out circles from each piece of bread and toast them on the pan for the kids to dip in cheese sauce.
I hope you enjoy this Moon Overs breakfast as much as we do. It’s such a simple recipe, easy to make, and so delicious. We just started trying some of these different toppings and they definitely elevate the taste and nutritional value. There are so many other things you can put on top, these are just a few of the ones we’ve liked adding. Let me know if you try them!
Sincerely,
