Noodles and Eggs

We made noodles and eggs in cooking camp this week. The kids liked it even more than I thought they would. This was one of my favorite breakfast dishes when I was a kid. It is just what the name says, noodles- or pasta- combined with with eggs.

This time I used bow tie pasta. I suspect this recipe came about as a way to stretch eggs to feed more people. Or perhaps somebody had some leftover cooked noodles to use up.

You can keep it simple, or add cooked meats, like ham, sausage or bacon. You could add some shredded cheese or even some cooked veggies. This is a great way to use up leftovers, the way you might in an omelet. In camp, I finished the dish with shredded cheese.
