Egg in the basket

Eggs are those meals that one can have in any possible way, it may be sweet or savory. And there is no certain time or occasion to have it, whether it be breakfast; (Omelettes, half fry, hosh posh, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs etc). Or lunch, supper, or dinner like Egg curry, Egg Fried rice, different variety of salads or in desserts like cakes, cookies etc. They are one of the commonly eaten food groups in this huge world. Eggs are truly rich in protein & calcium. Hence way healthy, delicious & nutritious than anything else especially for breakfast.

Today I am going to discuss with u how to half fry an egg in a hole of a bread! Egg in a basket - Egg in a hole - and also known by many other names is actually an egg half fried in a hole of a slice of bread. Some other names are:

Toad in the hole (eee)
Egg basket
Bird's nest egg
Pop eyes
Egg toast
Chicken in a basket etc etc :P

The dish is typically to crack an egg in the center of the bread and then fry it in butter or oil. Kids will certainly loveee it :)

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

Bread slice                                          1

Eggs                                                    1

Oil                                                        2 tsp
Salt                                                      To taste
Ground pepper                                    To taste

Procedure:

Cut about 2 inch hole in the center of the bread piece with the help of a glass or a cookie cutter and set aside.

Take a small skillet and heat it. Remember not to heat it tooo much or it will burn the bread before the egg is done :)

Next put the bread piece in the pan/skillet and toast it from one side. Next add the oil in the center of the bread and heat it for few seconds. Next crack an egg carefully in the center of the bread. And don't move the bread for at least 30 seconds. (Adding oil in the center will prevent the bread from absorbing too much oil, although for toasting u can spread a tsp of oil before).

Next after a minute or two flip the bread piece and cook for only 30 seconds.

Season with salt and pepper.

A delicious "Egg in the basket" is readyyyy..

Note: U can use different cookie cutters with shapes other than round.

Thanku for stopping by! Hope u enjoy this recipe :)
