Strawberry Loaf & Feta Eggs

I have to be honest...  as I'm sure EVERYONE knows... moving is a TASK!!!  We spent three and half full days packing, loading the truck, three days driving to the East Coast, and then three whole days looking for a place to live.  PHEW!!!  Hence, if anybody had noticed, it has been a full TWO weeks since I have posted something.

I have managed to make a few tasty meals between everything that has been going on, but this is something I actually made a few months back.  It was one of those crazy evenings where we didn't have much and I was using all of our resources to scrounge up a dinner.  I accompanied these with feta topped eggs.  It's all up to your taste buds!  :)

Strawberry Loaf

1/2 cup butter (room temp)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (thinly sliced)

Preheat oven to 350.

Butter and flour a loaf pan and set aside for later.

In a stand mixer on medium speed , cream butter and sugar together until it becomes light and fluffy.  Add salt and vanilla and mix.  Turn speed up to medium-high to high and add in eggs one at a time, allowing the mixture to become very light.  After about four minutes, turn off the mixer, add in the flour and strawberries and mix on low just until ingredients come together (careful not to over-mix the batter).

Scoop batter into the loaf pan (evening it out so it is proportioned and no strawberries are sticking-up.  Sprinkle with a little brown sugar (to desired sweetness, as the batter itself isn't too sweet, but your strawberries may be sweet enough to not want too much).

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean.

Feta Eggs

eggs
butter
salt & pepper
feta cheese

Heat the skillet with butter (about 1 tbs of butter per egg) on medium heat.  Once butter has fully melted, crack eggs into skillet, season with salt and pepper and allow the first side to cook.  Flip eggs, reseason with salt and pepper and top with feta cheese.  Cook fully and serve!
