tuna and eggs...yum.

Nice combination eh?  Yes, that egg IS that big and I would hate to come face to face with the hen that deposited that one. 

So what does that unlikely combination have to deggo with this topic?  Well, one of our favourite family recipes has to be egg Mcmuffins.  We make these on our outdoor occasions, most recently this one I wrote about.  To make our egg's even and round we cook them inside a tuna can.  Simply cut the top and bottom out and place in the centre of the skillet. When flipping you can easily run the metal spatula underneath the egg and tin and flip it.  Now they are familiar in shape to those calorie packed, arterie clogging goodies normally bought at the golden arches. 

For those similar to Subway simply spray the insides of a round Tupperware container with Pam and whisk an egg, some milk and a little butter.  The egg pops out easily and can them be piled with fresh veggies.

No more misshapen, lopsided egg mcmuffins.  Not like they tasted bad like that but sometimes presentation is nice....sometimes.

I have to admit the idea of tuna with eggs wasn't working for me, LoL.

I love this tip, presentation DOES sometimes make a difference:)

And just when I was thinking yesterday morning how I could find and budget for some fancy 'round things'to make nice eggs. Thanks for the great tip!!!
We have our own chickens and we've had a few HUGE eggs (triple yolkers several times) and I sure wouldn't want to mess with that hen either :-)

That is a great tip, and I am absolutely going to use it. My husband will be so impressed!

Hey, thanks for coming by my blog today and for leaving a comment on my WFMW post. I was going to tell you someone came by after you and left a link they found to buy my same bins online. Just thought you may like to know so you don't have to go to Home Depot.
