Prep Time 15 Minutes

Cooking Time 20 Minutes

Difficulty Medium

Ingredients

  • 1 slice of bread
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Cut a hole in the bread using a steak knife and a cup as an outline. Don’t throw away the circle you cut out.
  2. Heat griddle to 325 degrees. Add a small amount of butter and toast the bread on both sides, including the center that you removed.
  3. Put a small amount of oil in the hole and drop the egg in. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Flip and cook for 30 more seconds, then remove from the griddle.
  5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then start dipping the toasted bread in the yolk!

Additional Notes

For a crispier texture, use a thicker slice of bread. You can also experiment with different seasonings or add cheese for extra flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure to toast the bread just enough to add a nice crunch without burning it.
  • The small bread circle you cut out makes a perfect dipper for the yolk.

Conclusion

Egg in a Basket is a simple yet delightful breakfast dish that combines the savory taste of eggs with the satisfying crunch of toasted bread. It’s a quick meal that can be easily customized to your liking.
