Make This Recipe
Ingredients
6 slices Petit Jean bacon, cooked & chopped/crumbled into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup plus 1 Tablespoon sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
2 large, Eggland's Best Eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 cup War Eagle Mill cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter in a 10-inch iron skillet over medium-high heat; swirl the melted butter around and up the sides of the pan to prepare for baking.
Pour the remaining butter in a heat-proof glass bowl and refrigerate to cool.
In another large bowl, add sugar and add eggs, one at a time, whisking by hand.
When eggs and sugar are combined, add vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then add in melted butter. Stir in the melted butter.
Gently fold in the blueberries. Spread mixture into buttered cast iron skillet.
Toss bacon in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, coating it completely.
Spread bacon on top of batter.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake is set and a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

Shakshuka with Feta, Avocado and Whole Wheat Sourdough
Shakshuka is one my all-time favorite ways to make eggs. If you’re not familiar with it, shakshuka traditionally is baked eggs in tomato sauce and different spices. There are so many ways to mix up the flavors in it, and it couldn’t be easier to prepare. Personally, I love adding a bunch of veggies into the sauce. If you have picky eaters at home, it can be a fun way to add more flavor to foods and get kids to try something new. This recipe is loaded with nutrients from the veggies, eggs, whole wheat sourdough bread and avocado. Nutrition-wise, eggs are especially a powerhouse. They’re loaded with beneficial vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.
If you're looking for something a little more substantial, this breakfast burrito is a great option.
