I love eggs. They’re a staple in my diet and one of my absolute favorite foods.
They’re also nature’s multivitamin. Long known as the standard for protein, they’re also a rich source of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 zinc, iron and copper.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy eggs is scrambled on toast with a spread of cream cheese and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
It’s a satisfying way to start my day and a meal that takes all of five minutes to make. As I always seem to be short on time lately, I appreciate a breakfast that I can eat quickly before dashing out the door. Truthfully, some nights I get home from work so tired that eggs on toast is my dinner as well. 😉
It’s easy to think that an egg is an egg is an egg. But there are some very big differences between the various eggs out there on grocery store shelves.
When Blue Sky Family Farms reached out to me and told me their company’s story, I was immediately a fan. They’re a company that makes organic eggs so I don’t have to worry about what’s in my food. And they pasture raise their chickens so I don’t have to feel guilty about the meal I’m enjoying. Oh, and they’re keeping small family farms in business. What’s not to love?
We are so removed from the hunting and gathering of our food in today’s modern age, it’s no wonder most people have no idea how our food lives while it’s alive. That’s why I relish every chance I get to visit farms, talk to farmers, tour factories, learn everything I can, and share it with you guys. We are what we eat. Where our food comes from and how it’s made matters. It literally makes us who we are.
Blue Sky Family Farms breaks down differences between all the various labels on eggs in this helpful chart. It’s nice to know the chickens that laid my eggs were able to chill on on the grass with their friends and enjoy some sunshine.
Every time we go to the store and make a purchase, we’re casting a vote. We just have to decide what matters most to us to vote for. It’s funny, because when push comes to shove the reason I buy organic is for my health over the health of the animals I’m eating. Josh is the exact opposite. He’d eat antibiotics and hormones any day if that somehow let the cows that made his milk get to see sunshine, walk in the grass, and live a life without suffering. Because of this, we buy products that are both good for us and the animals that nourish us. It’s what is important to us.
Blue Sky Family Farm’s motto is ethical eggs for the humane race. That is a belief I can get behind. If it’s one you support too, you’ll be happy to know that Blue Sky Family Farm eggs are available in Whole Foods, Natural Grocers and Fresh Thyme Farmers Markets. You’ll have to let me know what you think if you give them a try!
Thanks to Blue Sky Family Farms for sponsoring this post!
I absolutely agree with this! I’m glad you have found a good source of eggs! We have had chickens in the past, and plan to get them again this spring. I have never thought to put cream cheese on toast, but this looks absolutely amazing! We are definitely an egg loving family 🙂
I am an egg-tarian. So I always have less options for breakfast. I usually like having a light breakfast, especially at 6:00 a.m. But I would definitely try egg + cheese! Thanks! x
Those eggs look fluffy fluffy fluffy!! I love fluffy foods in my mouth. Sounds weird but it’s all about the mouth feel, right?!
I am a cream cheese nut and I am always looking for new ways to add it to my diet:) Thanks for sharing. This might get my egg hating son to start to eat eggs,
Yum !!! I would definitely eat this and what a perfect start for a day light and good !! Thanks definitely going to try !! Laci
I love to eat eggs and this looks very tasty. I am always looking for something different to have so I don’t get bored with my food. I will give this a try. Thanks!

That egg on toast looks super delishhh and I now know better than to just grab my tray and head home to enjoy without knowing where the egg’s moma lives and how she was reared before she lost her lil egg! now am sad awww!
Oh well it was created as part of the food chain and I would be lying to say I will stop eating them. Lovem too much!

This sounds super tasty!
I eat eggs a lot, but it’s been way too long since I’ve enjoyed eggs and toast or even a good egg sandwich. Oh, it’s time!
I hope I can get eggs back into my diet soon because I love them SO much! I also happen to adore chives, so I’m totally digging that you added those.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Such a lovely post!

This looks so good! I’m definitely trying it in the near future. I must agree with you that the majority of society is extremely removed from where their food comes from. It is kind of sad, actually.
Oh I love eggs on toast and this just takes it to the next level!
So I’m not an egg lover, but I will have to make these for my boyfriend one morning! He’ll go crazy!
This looks like a delicious and great way to start off the day!

Organic eggs are so important! Even if its not in my grocery budget, I always splurge for organic eggs. I’ll definitely look for this brand the next time I’m shopping.

You have outdone yourself with this simple yet delicious meal. I would pair this with a glass of orange juice and some croissants.
