Egg in the Orange:

1. Slice a Orange in half, remove the flesh. It helps if you slice the orange vertical with the wedgesas to remove them. or just use a spoon and scoop out the insides. Just be careful to not punture the orange skin.

This is adapted from a old camping recipe, you would usually just place the orange in the coals of the campfire. So in this case wad up some aluminum foil and place the orage peel halfs in it on a cookie sheet so they don't fall over, I suppose placing them in a muffin pan might work too, but I've never done it that way. (Why? See Hash Browns)

2. Then Place 1/4 Tablespoon of Unsalted Butter in the Half Orange Peel, then crack the egg and put the contents in the orange peel. Top with a little salt and pepper.

3. Bake in the Oven at 375° about 25 minutes, bake some shoe string potatos or hash browns at the same time,and serve with a spoon.

4. Now to make it really good, top the Egg in the Orange with a Tablespoon of room temp. Philadelpha Cream Cheese and a teaspoon of Romanoff Black Lumpfish Caviar.

Hash Browns:

Peel and Hash Dice a couple of Potatos. Dribble with Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper. Cover and Microwave Potatos about five minutes. I usually just use a plastic grocery bag and put the plate with the potatos in it in the microwave. This catches up the cooking time to the same amount as the Egg in the Oranges. Then pour them out on the cookie sheet in the oven on the cookie sheet with Egg in the Oranges (above). Flip the Hash Browns about half way through the cooking time. About five minutes before end of cooking time add a couple of tablespoons of choped green onions, or diced onion. The Hash Brown will make a nice little nest for the Egg in the Orange.

Glazed Ham:

Don't forget to eat the orange wedges! Serve it on the plate with the Egg in the Orange and the Hash Browns. If you had some trouble removing the orange flesh and you just wound up with mostly orange juice, fry some ham with a bit of cinnamon sugar and add the orange juice, until glazed. Real Good, Glazed Ham, Egg in the Orange with Caviar, and Hash Browns. Now this is a Breakfast!
