I hear things.

Usually, I don’t hear things. Usually, I live in a cave. I come out only when they clean it. Okay, fine, you got me. I clean my own cave. It’s humiliating.

But every once in a while, I hear things. Like I hear that breakfast and brunch can be a challenge if you’re gluten-free. A challenge! That’s a nice way of saying a pain in the … arm. Right?

Well, I’ll be darned. We’re all over breakfast and brunch in my house. All. Over. It. My kids are always asking on the weekends, “Is this brunch?” My oldest child wants to know because if the answer is “yes,” that usually means there may be a sweet offering for her Sweet Tooth on the menu. My son wants to know because that means a huge meal (yay!) but no lunch that day (boo!).

When my kids were really little, apparently they had determined that a meal wasn’t really dinner unless it was cooked by me and eaten at home. Let’s say we ate dinner at someone else’s house, or by chance at a restaurant. We’d come home, full to the point of aching and moaning while holding our bellies, and I’d hear from the peanut gallery: “Are we going to have dinner?”

Uh, no.

Back to business. Have you ever made Eggs in the Hole? They’re super duper easy, & you’ll feel like a rock star {what? You are a rock star!}. The recipe works best with thick slices of gluten-free bread, and that’s hard to come by when we’re talking packaged bread. But packaged gluten-free bread will, indeed, work just fine. For me, this bread works a treat, especially when you slice it up real generous & stuff. My husband, ever the picky child, doesn’t really care for runny egg yolks {“They’re not really my favorite”}, so for him, I cook the egg white in the hole, and the egg yolk rides shotgun. No biggie.

I serve the crispy, crunchy “hole” atop the fried egg in the thick slice of crusty bread. This is ready almost as fast as you can scramble some eggs and make a few slices of toast. But it’s so much more impressive. And, also, by extension, so are you. Trust me – word of your adventures will spread. You’re a kitchen whiz!

So, before I go, I need your help. Can we put our heads together?

I need to start gathering intel on gluten-free packaged products available out there. We’ll start with bread. What is your favorite packaged gluten-free bread out there these days? Udi’s is available at my local Trader Joe’s, and it’s not frozen. I like that. I feel regular. And it’s well-priced as these things go. But it has so many holes in it. What’s with all the holes? I hear that Rudi’s is better, but I haven’t tried it yet. What’s your fave?
