What the heck are shirred egg anyway?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In case you are wondering what shirred egg are, well, they are eggs baked in either cream or butter (or both) in a small ramekin until the whites are firm and the yolks are runny.<\/p>\n

Ever wonder what it would be like to go out and gather your own fresh eggs every morning. I remember as a kid going to my grandfather’s sister’s house where my mother and grandmother would buy their fresh milk, butter and eggs and my sister and I would go out into the hen house and gather a few eggs. I don’t remember lifting the chickens up and I’m sure we would have just shooed them off their nest to get to the eggs.<\/p>\n

When we were back home a few weeks ago, a friend was telling me about her granddaughter, Hannah’s, interest in raising chickens. She has names for all her chickens and she actually sells their eggs to local residents. I checked out her website and it was so cute and I think you might enjoy visiting her site at https:\/\/hannahshappyhens.com<\/a>. Here is her old site that has some cute pictures of her chickens. https:\/\/hannahshappyhens.blogspot.com <\/a> Way to go Hannah.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was a cool (already warming up a little here in Texas), rainy day. My husband had laid out some smoked jalapeno venison sausage that our neighbor had given us. I get tired of making him scrambled eggs every morning, so I decided to try something new. I found this recipe for Shirred Eggs and I had some leftover sauteed kale from dinner the night before so decided to combine the two for a breakfast treat. The sausage was hot and spicy and was great with this new egg recipe.<\/p>\n

Next time you wake up to a gloomy, rainy or snowy day, try something new. You can throw anything into the bottom of your ramekin, ham, sausage, bacon, zucchini, bell peppers, or tomatoes. I can’t wait for my next experiment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dig in and you will get a fork or spoon full of kale, egg, cream and cheese, yummy and filling.<\/p>\n
