    EotMEoTE no. 7 - Southern Fried Eggs Benny

    southern fried eggs benny
    A bit of verse for the limerick edition of the End of the Month Eggs on Toast Extravaganza! Note: to be recited aloud with Southern twang.

    There once was a gal from Delicious,
    Whose day job was seriously vicious.
    Southern eggs did she want,
    But alas Boss did haunt.
    Three days late, but she gets what she wishes!

    I love sausage. It’s absolutely death for a diet, even for South Beach because, well, it’s definitely not lean protein. Lounging on toasted white bread, topped with a fried egg and drowning in cream gravy (not a poached egg, and not Hollandaise – that’s a little to shee shee for us), it’s a dangerous Southern Fried Eggs Benny. *loosens belt*

    Cream Gravy
    Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in saucepan. Add about 4 tablespoons of flour and cook a few minutes over medium low-ish heat until it turns barely beige. Season with about 1 teaspoon of salt (and pepper if you'd like). Slowly pour in 1 to 1½ cups of milk, and keep whisking/stirring (4 to 5 minutes) until the flour/butter mixture is incorporated and it's no longer (too) lumpy and bumpy. Add more milk (or even water) if it's too thick. Pour over eggs or whatever needs a little gravy.

      You actually make a fried egg look pretty damn gourmet. I think I'd actually pay $20 for that!

      Good job!

      Looks delish, but would probably be even better over a biscuit!

      Oh, honey. Bless your heart.

      Real cream gravy starts with pig fat (fatback, salt pork), though, not butter.

      And I agree -- that luscious-looking thing needs a biscuit.

      Looks like Hawaii at a shiny waterfall,
      but this one's full of cholesterol.
      Every bite will be worth,
      the pain when heart bursts.
      Get the phone, cause 911 you must call.

      It looks like someone came all over that. I'd still eat it though.
