Eggs-In-A-Basket :)

I remember these yummies from Cracker Barrel.  What are they? My absolute favorite! ...They're eggs-in-a-basket.  And guaranteed to be a favorite for the runny egg yolk lovers (like myself!).  They are super easy to make and the toasted bread wrapped around the egg makes it even easier to eat!  This is the perfect toast-and-egg combo! Ever. Give it a try.  Here's what you will need:


*(2) 1/2 Tbsp of butter (1 for each egg)
*2 eggs
*2 pieces of bread. Wheat, white, sourdough, you choice!
*dash of salt
*dash of pepper
*small or medium cookie cuter (to make a whole in the bread)

Begin by prepping your skillet on medium heat.  Once the skillet has warmed up, add the first 1/2 tablespoon of butter, as it is melting, take a slice of bread and with the cookie cutter, make a whole in the middle.  Place in the skillet.  Immediately after, crack your egg and place it in the center of the bread.  Add a dash of salt and pepper (season to taste).  After about 2 minutes, the egg whites will begin to become opaque and your bread will begin to turn golden.  Carefully flip over with your spatula.  Once you've flipped.  Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, depending on how you want your eggs. 2-3 mins is recommended for eggs-in-basket over medium.  Use less time if you'd prefer your eggs over easy. Remove from skillet, and place in plate.  Repeat with egg and bread #2.  Once both in your plate, add a stem of parsley for that fresh taste!  Enjoy! 

Tip: after cutting out the inside of the bread with your cookie cutter, you can add that left over circle in your skillet, besides the egg/bread, to toast and enjoy with your meal... or you can simply throw it away! But who wants to throw away the delicious center-of-the-bread?! That's the best part, lol !;)
