Eggs on the Golden Rod (Seaver Style)

INGREDIENTS
  • 8-10 Eggs 
  • Bacon
  • 2 White Country Gravy Packets (and the ingredients called for on the package)
  • Pillsbury Biscuits (I like the peel apart layers)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
COOK EGGS
Hard boil the eggs.  Cool them off in the fridge or in ice water.  Peel (by cooling them off first the egg inside the shell will shrink, making them WAY easier to peel).  After peeling, cut the eggs in half and remove all the yellow egg yolk into a separate bowl.  Cut the egg whites into small pieces.  Smash up the egg yolk so it resembles yellow sprinkles.

COOK BACON
We like to cook our bacon in the oven.  Put foil on a cookie sheet.  Then set a cooling rack inside the cookie sheet.  Line the bacon on the cooling rack.  Cook on 400degF for 17-20ish min (Jake likes it really crispy).  Cool off then crumble the bacon.

COOK GRAVY 
Cook the gravy according to the instructions on the package.

COOK ROLLS
Bake the rolls according to the directions on the package.  I like to cook them on the low end of the time range so they're still soft and fluffy instead of crispy.  When you remove them from the oven, take them off the cookie sheet right away so the bottoms don't continue to overcook.

ASSEMBLE
Throw the egg WHITE pieces and the crumbled bacon into the white gravy.  Mix.  Break apart a roll and put it on a plate.  Scoop some gravy mixture on top of the roll halves.  Sprinkle with egg yellow on top.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

This is our traditional Christmas Morning Breakfast.  I love how filling it is (we usually don't even eat lunch that day cause we're so full) and it's super easy to make -especially cause the bacon and eggs can be made the day before.

This is the only picture I have of the finished project - with our messy kitchen and Scarlett making an attractive double chin face...  At least she has clothes on!  :-)
