Egg nests with multi-grain bread

Egg nests with multi-grain bread is a delightful and simple breakfast option that combines the wholesome goodness of multi-grain bread with the protein-packed benefits of eggs. This recipe is easy to prepare and makes for a nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
2 slices multi-grain bread
50g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Gather all your ingredients and kitchen tools: a non-stick frying pan, a medium bowl, a whisk, a spoon, and a butter knife.
2. Creating the Nests:
- Take the slices of multi-grain bread and, using a small cup or a round cookie cutter, cut out a circle in the middle of each slice. The circular cutout should be about 2 inches in diameter.

3. Melt the Butter:
- Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

4. Toast the Bread:
- Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the slices of bread and the cutout circles in the pan. Toast until the bread is golden brown on one side, then flip to toast the other side. Cook the cutout circles until they are golden brown on both sides and then remove them from the pan. These will be used later as a garnish.

5. Cook the Eggs:
- Crack an egg into a small bowl. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper, then carefully pour the egg into the hole in one of the slices of toasted bread in the pan. Repeat with the second egg and slice of bread.

6. Finish Cooking:
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny for about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer a firmer yolk, you can flip the bread and egg once carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

7. Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, gently remove the egg nests from the pan and place them on a plate. Garnish with the toasted bread cutouts and an extra dash of black pepper if desired.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, homemade Egg Nests with Multi-Grain Bread.

Tips:

- For a softer yolk, reduce the cooking time of the eggs by a minute.

- You can add other herbs or spices, such as oregano or paprika, to enhance the flavor.

- Consider using a round cookie cutter or a glass to make the perfect hole in the bread slices.

- Make sure the butter is spread evenly on the pan to prevent sticking and achieve a golden-brown crust on the bread.

- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a salad for a completely balanced meal.

Egg nests with multi-grain bread is an easy and nutritious recipe that you can quickly prepare for breakfast. With the crispiness of the toasted bread and the richness of the eggs, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy your meal!
