Wild child will probably answer this. I am planning on having breakfast sandwhiches the first day out. They will be made from english muffins, a sausage patty, an egg, and cheese. I want to pre- cook everything first. My question is about the eggs. I was thinking of baking them. My thought is to run them thru a blender and then bake them in a shallow baking dish and then use something round to cut circles out of them to fit the english muffins. I need to make 36 of these so I thought this would be the best way to do it. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks

| Will you have a cooler to keep them cool? What about making them as plain omelettes and then cutting them? That would be quicker than baking. That said, I've baked eggs before. If you have large muffin cups that works really well (but depending on the size you might need two shallow muffin cup eggs per english muffin. Ramekins are another choice although you'd need about $18 of them and have to bake in two lots. |

| What I was thinking of doing was grease a shallow baking pan and pour the eggs into it, about 1/2-3/4 inches thick and then bake. Then use something round to punch out the circles. We are taking 24 people this year so there is lots of food. |

Sounds like a plan except for the need to cut out circles? Why couldn't the egg be cut in the proper sized squares sort of like Wendy's burger patties are square? KIS |

I didn't think of that. Good idea, that way I won't waste any of the eggs. Thanks

Muffin Pans.
I have coffe mugs that are the perfect size for english muffins, check your china. A minute in the microwave/egg. Cover them, sometimes they pop.
You could even cheese them at the same time as cooking.
No blender. You'll end up with something like a souffle with all the air a blender will add. Just give them a quick whisk. Heck, maybe don't break the yolks at all since you're cooking them hard.
Wax/parchment paper to sepparate them for packing.
Europe doesn't refrigerate their eggs. Eggs are naturally pretty resilient and will usually last two or three weeks unrefridgerated (great news for backpackers!). This is due largely to natural antibactierial qualities in the shell. If you can get them from the farmer and mention you're going without refrigeration you can get the freshest ones.

Ditto on fresh farm eggs. Just the day we leave on our trip I give each of my hens a hug goodbye and they give me an egg to take along. |

just finished the eggs. I took preachers advice and just whisked them. Poured them into a greased baking pan and baked the for 15 minutes. They turned out perfect. I did add some water to the eggs to fluff them up some. I used a pizza cutter to cut them into squares. That should be the last of the baking for me. I made three batches of hudson bay bread for a total of 72 bars and 36 egg squares. The oven has been getting a work out the last few days. 9 days and a wake-up until Kipawa.

Hey if the oven can't take the heat...
That's what I said to the landlady when I had a fire in the oven and used the extinguisher from the hallway. Note, do not store pizza in the oven. |
