Egg in the Basket

Step 1

Cut a circle in the middle of a piece of bread.

Step 2

If you don't have a round cookie cutter, the top of a glass will work.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or griddle sprayed with Pam or Mazola.

Step 4

Place the bread in the pan.

Step 5

Put about 1/2 t butter in the hole in the bread.

Step 6

Heat the butter until very hot.

Step 7

Crack an egg in the hole.

Step 8

Use a spatula to move the white around so it gets done.

Step 9

When the egg is fairly well set, turn the bread and egg over to cook the other side, being careful not to break the yolk.

Step 10

In the meantime, toast the holes from the bread for dipping in the yolk.

Step 11

Oh, and salt and pepper as desired.

Step 12

I guess you could toast the bread before you put it in the pan, but I've never tried it that way.
