Eggy In The Basket

Do have screaming, hungry friends and/or children? Did you wake up next to someone you desperately want to impress? Do have empty cupboards and absolutely no culinary skills? With some eggs, bread and a few practice sections you can make an impressive meal in just minutes!

BUT WAIT! There's.... no more. But isn't that enough?

Eggy In THE Basket, otherwise known as Eggs in Toast, Toad in the Hole, and Sunshine Toast is a fun meal to make with your family and friends.  It's also a great meal to teach kids to make for themselves, or to eat after a night overdoing it with friends.  It's made with things often on hand, and no special equipment.

Step 1 Preparation & Ingredients

Makes 4 Eggys. Multiply or divide as necessary.

Ingredients:

4 Eggs
4 Slices of Bread (We prefer Rye, but any kind works. Wheat is pictured.)
4 Tbsp of butter (Or one Tbsp per slice)
Salt
Pepper (Fresh Ground makes a world of difference.)
(optional) Vegetable Oil, if you don't want to use butter. But you do want to use butter, no matter what the anti-butter trust wants you to think. Because butter is good.

Tools:
Non-Stick Fry Pan (use a coat of cooking spray if you don't have a non-stick pan)
Spatula
Fork, to help you get your Eggy on the spatula

Remember, you and your helpers need to wash your hands before handling the food!

I'm glad someone finally stepped up and called out the anti-butter trust. A cabal of canola oil salesmen, no doubt. Or perhaps the margariners.

I honestly can't imagine how these taste without butter. I just wanted to mention it could be done. Mmmm....butter.

I've wanted to try these since I saw them in 'V for Vendetta', but I was intimidated by them...

That's me! Admire my awesome apron and butter melting technique!

I used to make this for my wife every morning during her first pregnancy. I would use a circular biscuit cutter to make the hole. Now that we have three little ones running around, I like to let them pick out a shaped cookie cutter and cut theirs out. Just an idea to make it a little more fun for the whole family.

My son-in-law makes these everytime I visit. It is fun.
