Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Bull's Eye, Egg in a Basket, Toad in a Hole, Cowboy Eggs

Whatever you decide to call it, it's delicious and easy to prepare.

Use cookie cutters to make it festive or just do what my mom did and use a glass to cut out a circle.



Bull's Eye, Egg in a Basket, Toad in a Hole, Cowboy Eggs
Makes 1 sandwich
Ingredients
  • 1 slice of bread (I used Pumpernickel)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • pepper
  • salt if desired
  • butter for frying
Directions
  • Butter both sides of your bread and cut a shape or hole in the middle.
  • Heat a dab of butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Place the bread in the pan and fry for a minute. Break the egg into the hole and cook until the bottom is golden. Sprinkle with granulated garlic and pepper. Once golden, give it a gentle flip.
  • Sprinkle the other side with granulated garlic and pepper. Continue to fry until the egg is cooked how you like it. I like the yolk runny. When you break it, it gets all over the toast and it's delicious.
  • Sprinkle the cutout with granulated garlic and pepper and fry it up as well. It makes a tasty little piece of toast. Serve with ketchup.
Tip: If you want your egg sunny side up, simply toast one side of the bread in the pan. Once golden, flip it and then break the egg into the hole. That way both sides of your bread with be toasted. Don't cook this over high heat as you'll burn the bread before the egg has a chance to cook. Also, some granulated garlic is salty so use salt to taste.
