If you are an early riser and like an early breakfast, it could be difficult to prepare in a solar oven. After all, solar cooking does require that the sun be up and shining.  But if the sun has peeped up over the horizon and you don’t mind a leisurely morning, sipping coffee and reading the paper on the patio while waiting for breakfast,  your patience and your appetite will be rewarded.   Baked Eggs and Pancake muffins with Maple Glaze is a simple breakfast, as suitable for a casual Saturday as it is for a Sunday brunch. 

Baked Eggs and Pancake Muffins with Maple Glaze

 Ingredients

• 1 egg
• salt  & pepper to taste
• 1 tsp of milk

Pre-heat the solar oven while preparing the recipe.

Spray individual ramekins or a muffin tin with PAM or coat with butter.  Break an egg into each cup.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  Spoon a tsp of milk over the top. Place uncovered into a hot solar oven.  Bake about 45 min- 1 hour, until white is cooked through and yolk is cooked as desired.

Pancakes

For the pancakes, I used a regular store bought pancake mix.  Mix the batter per the directions on the box.  Spray mini muffin tins with PAM and fill 3/4 full. Place into a hot solar oven to bake.  Bake about 1 hour, uncovered.

Maple Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 c maple syrup
• 2 TBSP butter, melted

Melt the butter, add to the syrup. Stir in the sugar. Pour over the pancakes while hot.

 This is a great example of stack cooking. The eggs were placed on the bottom of the stack.  After about half an hour, I rearranged the stack and moved the eggs around so that everything would cook evenly.
