What is it? It's pan-toasted bread with butter and an egg.
Yes you heard me.
But what's unexpected is that the egg is in the middle of the piece of bread!
Ingredients:
1 slice of bread
2 tbsp butter (yeah, that's a lot!)
1 egg
a bit of oil
a round cookie-cutter
makes 1 serving (duh?)
First, get out your pan... it works best if you're working with a non-stick pan. Or else you're going to have a lot of trouble with this one!
Put a bit of oil and some butter in (the oil keeps the butter from getting too hot and burning)
Get out your cookie-cutter, cut a hole in the middle of a slice of bread and fry it in the pan!
Add butter if you like, and keep on checking once in a while to see how brown you want one side to be. Once its done, flip it over!
Quickly dab some butter in the middle and fry it. Put some butter around the edges. Make sure you don't leave the bread to fry long, this is important!
After the butter has melted, quickly but carefully break an egg in the hole. You can cut off any spillings of egg at the sides if you'd like. Leave the egg to cook until the egg inside of the hole is cooked and fit to be turned over. (or else the egg will spill!)
When it is cooked in such a manner, quickly flip it over and let it cook slightly on that side.
And TA-DAH!!
Best served when it is right out of the pan. Really. Because the fallback of this dish is that when it is soggy, it doesn't taste nice :(
You can experiment with the size of the cookie cutter - a bigger one means more egg and less bread, and a small one means more bread and less egg.
I prefer more bread on mine =) how about you?
By the way, if you've watched V for Vendetta before, this is the one that he cooked :p~
1 munches!:
Been dying to learn how to make "Egg in a basket" since I saw it in the movie "V For Vendetta".
