What is Eggs in a Basket?

Good morning Eggs in a Basket. You will forever be my favorite savory breakfast because you’re simple and easy to make!

What is eggs in a basket? Egg in a basket is a fried egg that is situated a hole in a slice of bread. It’s basically eggs and toast but made all in one pan (no toaster involved).

 

INGREDIENTS

Like I mentioned earlier, eggs in a basket is basically an open face egg sandwich, but it’s all made in the same pan. Score! Here’s what you need:

 

 

• Bread – really any kind of bread works when making egg in a hole. You’ll notice that we used white bread, but whole wheat works too.
• Butter – Toast isn’t toast without a little bit of butter!
• Olive oil – olive oil is used to make sure the egg doesnt’ stick to your pan.
• Egg – this recipe calls for large eggs. You need 2.
• Salt and pepper – shake, shake, shake.

 

 

How to Make Eggs in a Basket

 

• Butter Bread: butter both sides of your bread with softened butter.
• Make the Hole: use a cookie cutter to remove the center of your bread, creating a perfect hole. Don’t discard your holes. You’ll cook these too!
• Toast Bread: heat olive oil in a nonstick (or cast iron) pan over low/medium heat. Toast bread for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Then, flip the bread over.
• Fry Egg: crack the eggs in the center of the holes and then cover the pan. Let cook for 3-5 minutes depending on how runny you like your eggs.
• Enjoy!
