More whoring of my cuisine

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

Ahhh, thank you very much, Teddy. Who knew you'd be dishing out advice in the kitchen while leading a country? Thus, you've motivated me to add a bit of style to a practical morning meal. I made this Pasta & Egg breakfast dish from last night's leftover dinner pasta (you can also use potatoes) and it only took 3 minutes to prepare. 5 minutes at most. Serves 1.

Ingredients
pasta leftovers
1 egg
grated cheese
salt & pepper
chives (dried)
olive oil

Directions
Reheat pasta in a microwave on half power for 2 minutes. While reheating, coat a nonstick frying pan with Pam spray. Fry one egg over easy about 1 minute first side, flip over, then 30 secs other side.

Place pasta in center of plate and top with the fried egg. Sprinkle with cheese, salt & pepper, chives and drizzled olive oil. Microwave dish on high for 30 secs to melt cheese.

Serve. Bon appetite!

Tip: Place a small lid over the frying egg to allow the steam to help cook the top side. The egg will cook more evenly with less of that undercooked-egg-goo that we all hate.
