Sunshine Toast
This simple recipe for eggs is always popular with the kids and is a fun way to start the day. It is also known by a variety of other names like eggs in a hole, eggs in a basket and many others, but regardless of what you call it, this is probably one of the best ways to cook eggs for a unique and fun breakfast or brunch. A simple fried egg cooked in the center of a piece of toast.
Ingredients:
2 slices sandwich bread
2 eggs
3 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- With a small cookie cutter or glass, carefully cut out the center of each piece of bread. Reserve the piece of bread that is removed.
- Butter both sides of each piece of bread as well as the circles that were removed.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter in frying pan. Add bread slices and circles; brown on one side, then turn over.
- Crack an egg and place it into the center of one of the slices of bread; repeat with the other egg and bread slice.
- Let eggs cook until they are set. For eggs that are cooked through, you might want to place a cover on your frying pan for a few minutes. I prefer not to let my kids eat eggs that are not fully cooked, so I always cook them until the white and yolk are completely set. Watch the bread carefully to be sure that it doesn’t start to burn.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
