Egg Custard

egg custard - breakfast

On most days I tend to walk out the door and head to work and quickly eat a hard boiled egg.  Today was something new, my wife decided to make an Egg Custard.  The recipe was featured in a Paleo book that we have and I have to say it actually tasted really good.  One of the best things I found about this was that it made 4 servings so both her and I are able to eat this for 2 days with little effort.  In today’s hectic fast paced world any time you can save is a great benefit.  One thing I enjoyed about this actual flavor of everything coming together.  I really enjoyed the crunch the bacon offers with contrast to the texture of the mushrooms.  Overall this was very successful in my opinion and we will definitely make it again.
