Dad's Bull's Eye

When my dad asks for a bull’s Eye for breakfast, if Idi Amin Dada was my dad’s chef, he would have killed a bull and brought it’s eyes served on a silver plate for my dad and would have placed his palms on his wide waist, pushed his chin forward, widened his eyes to say Bon appetite!!! But let’s not try to be like this guy that placed Uganda onto the world map and instead realize that a Bull’s Eye for breakfast is a fried egg.

When ready to eat, it actually looks like eyes. My dad loves his bull’s eye with salt and pepper sprinkled on top to give it a hot stingy taste. He loves it most with Indian chapatti but you can also have it with a buttered bread toast.
Fried eggs are the firm favorite for the great British breakfast and they make a tasty addition to a range of main meals.
To impress with a fried egg;
  • Use a non-stick frying pan with just a dash of mild flavored oil such as vegetable oil
  • Place over a medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot, crack the egg into the pan alternatively you can break your 2 eggs in a glass bowl and slide it out of one side into you heated oil
  • Cook over a low to medium heat for 1 minute or until the white is set
  • Spoon the hot oil over the egg yolk and egg white until the yolk is cooked to your liking
  • Carefully slide a spatula underneath the cooked egg and move it to your flat wide breakfast plate
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy your Bull’s Eye J
