A nest for my egg

This is the second installment of my new series, “The boy in the kitchen.”  My son has always been in the kitchen with me, sitting on the counter as a baby and now, really interested in recipes, nutrition and cooking on his own. He comes up with some great ideas, like putting the jam on his first breakfast, “egg in a hole.”

I thought it’d be neat to document some of his dishes and the ones he cooks, not only for his reference, but for my own. The one he chose to cook this morning was egg in a nest:

Nest prepared by tearing tiny pieces of bread. He wanted a flat nest.

Place egg styled to your liking in the nest. (Being the typical five year old, he must prepare the lego people prior to him eating.)

He discovered that one of the advantages to this presentation was the "dipping sauce"

As you can see, he did not like this breakfast at all.
