Eggs in a basket

These take some time to make, but look so cute they'll cheer anyone up.



You'll need really thick bread slices.  I'm using this lively bread I bought at a Chinese bakery.  It's soft and yet strong enough to support the weight of the egg.



Cut a round hole in the center if each slice.  I used a small cup, you can get fancy and use a small cookie or biscuit cutter.


Spray pan with olive oil and add a tsp of butter or margarine.  Add slices of bread and their centers too!


Crack one egg into each hole.


Immediately cover with lid and drop heat to medium low heat.  Once the holes look brown you'll want to carefully flip the slices.  Once you flip turn off the heat and sprinkle with any desired toppings (cheese and bacon crumbles would be great). Cover again until cheese just starts to melt and serve.  Cheese will continue to melt outside of pan.
