Weekend Breakfast: Baked Egg Boats

One of my favorite things to do during the week is think about the weekend. One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday is wake up and make a fancy breakfast with my boyfriend. Unfortunately, the only thing we can think to make is scrambled eggs and cheese with toast. This recipe for Baked Egg Boats we'll be attempting combines all three in what's sure to be a deliciously pretty package. Plus, we always jump and squeal like three year olds whenever we don't burn a dish. We're all about small accomplishments!
