Eggs in the Basket

Decided on a quick dinner again today. Eggs in a basket is what we call them. Not just for breakfast either. I snapped a photo of the bread and egg in the frying pan, for those who are not familiar with this dish. Easy peasy. Use a small glass to cut out the center of the bread, and fry it as well. Put the bread in a pan with butter or olive oil, crack an egg for the middle and cook on both sides. All done. Enjoy your evening everyone. And another week to look forward to.

We have something similar but we call it Egg in the Middle. The bread is buttered and a shot glass is used to make a hole in the center that the egg is poured into. Good eats.

I have enjoyed it all of my life. But I do't eat it as often.

I see butter. Good enough for me. Been making a version of this since I was a tadpole.

Yes ma'am you do! All about moderation, sometimes you just have to use butter. Me too, and have not heard tadpole in a long time. Good memories.

I've heard of it before but I've never tried to make it. Usually I just make french toast if I have bread ...... I rarely buy bread.

A friend from Peru made that for me once. She put guacamole on it, too. Delicious!

I like the idea of this. I haven't made this in years, but we always called it Egg in the Middle and used a shot glass to cut out the hole in the center of the bread.

But we don't cut the bread and let the egg sit on the bread and cook from both the sides . It tastes good.
