Egg in a Basket—Love Day Style

Put your bread slices on a work surface or cutting board. Use a round-shaped cookie cutter to punch a hole in your “basket” (i.e. in the center of each slice of bread). I used a heart because it was Valentine’s Day morning. If you don’t have a cookie cutter in hand just use the top of a small glass. Remove cut outs and set aside.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 3 egg whites. Season with salt and pepper.

Submerge each piece of bread into the egg mix. Quickly flip to get each side coated evenly. Don’t forget to soak your cut outs!

Once all of your bread has been egged, heat an oiled/buttered/cooking sprayed griddle on medium high heat.

Place 1-2 baskets (depending on the size of griddle) on hot griddle. Put your cut out on there too!

Crack an egg and put it directly into the cut out space in each slice of bread. Let it cook for a few minutes so the bottom of the egg has cooked through and is solid. With a large flipper carefully flip over your eggs in a basket and cut outs.

Allow egg to cook on the other side but be careful not to overcook the yolk. Unless of course you want a hard cooked egg.

Once everything is cooked through to your liking plate it up!! Repeat with the remaining eggs and bread slices.

Use your cut out as a dipper for the egg yolk. Enjoy!
