Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Carefully crack the eggs into separate small bowls to ensure there are no shells.
- Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut a circle (about 2 inches in diameter) out of the center of each slice of whole-wheat bread. Set the cut-out circles aside.
- Place a medium-sized skillet or non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
- Add the butter (1 tbsp) to the skillet. Let it melt and spread evenly across the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and hot, place the slices of whole-wheat bread (with the holes) and the cut-out circles into the skillet.
- Lightly toast the bread for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Carefully pour one egg into each bread hole.
- Allow the eggs to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites begin to set. Avoid moving the pan too much to keep the egg in place.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt (0.40g) and a dash of black pepper (0.1g) over the eggs.
- If you prefer your egg yolks slightly firmer, carefully flip the bread slices with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes. If you prefer runny yolks, skip flipping and let the eggs cook to your desired consistency.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the bread slices and the toasted circles from the skillet.
- Plate the slices of egg-in-a-basket and serve immediately with the toasted circles on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best results and flavor.
- Ensure the butter is melted evenly on the skillet to avoid burning the bread.
- For a more filling meal, serve with a side of fresh fruit or a salad.
- If you prefer a runny yolk, reduce the cooking time slightly.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like paprika, chives, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to create the perfect hole in the bread slice.
There you have it - a delightful Egg in a Basket made with whole-wheat bread and simple seasonings. This dish not only provides a good amount of protein and fiber but is also quick and easy to prepare. Enjoy this wholesome breakfast with your favorite beverage for a perfect start to your day.
