Eggy In The Basket

Ingredients

Bread - as many slices as you want
Eggs - as many as the number of slices
Butter - as required (for spreading on the bread slices)

Statistics

Serves - half as many as the number of slices (assuming 2 slices per person)
Preparation time - (10 * number of slices) minutes

Procedure

1. Apply butter on a slice of bread and a cut a hole (basket for the egg) in it using a cookie cutter or a commonly available sharp edged glass/lid of a can.
2. Stick the slice of bread to a frying pan preheated on medium flame and gently break an egg into the basket.
3. Sprinkle some salt and/or pepper on the egg for extra taste.
4. Flip the slice as soon as the egg around the edge of the basket is cooked.
5. Let the slice toast for about 5 minutes on each side. Serve hot with orange juice or baked beans.

My Tips

• Use about half inch thick slices of whole wheat bread for best results.
• In case a single slice feels too thin and the egg overflows on to the slice, cover it up with another slice as it cooks. This will give you a soft layer of cooked up egg white in between the crunchy slices.
• Use salted butter instead of sprinkling salt give a better consistency of salt to the whole slice.
