Macoroni Egg Pie

My last week was a busy one with so many presentations, speaking engagements and crunching of numbers to do . So by Friday afternoon, I could not help my thoughts from drifting frequently to Saturday breeafast of Macaroni Egg Pie. I was going to have breakfast in bed . After all it was going to be Valentine’s day on Saturday.

 
The card, roses and gift for were all delivered to me in bed. I thought to myself this should happen every week don’t you agree? I wish… Hugs, kisses exchanged and some light conversations, I drifted back to sleep and found myself waking up at about 11am. It’s Valentine Day and hubby had muted plans of dinner before I dosed back to sleep, so my option for a meal was Brunch. What to cook? I settled for what I call Macaroni Egg Pie. One sizeable triangle of it and I was ready to face the day and enjoy the rest of the Valentine’s day
My offering today can also serve as breakfast or dinner. Some other interesting breakfast options like semolina pancake can be consideredEnjoy the treat!

The frying Process for Macaroni Egg Pie

6. Put the pan on the burner, cover the pot and allow to cook on medium heat . You can use a skewer to poke the pie in the middle so that the egg cooks through to the top. Watch the sides of the frying pan and as soon as the egg sets which will be about 10 minutes you turn over the other side onto a bigger frying pan.
7. Lightly oil a lager frying pan and gently turn the pie onto the the larger frying pan and cook the pie on the previously top side for about 5 minutes or until the egg sets.
8. Serve hot with pepper sauce

**Cooking tip: You can bake the pie in the oven instead of frying**
