Mark’s dad used to make Eggs in A Basket for the kids when they were young. This is an easy way for your grandchildren to eat eggs and a good thing for beginner cooks to make.
1 slice of bread – you can experiment with different kinds of bread: white, whole wheat, sour dough, texas toast, etc.
1 egg
Butter for the bread and pan
Salt, pepper, nutmeg (optional)
Butter your bread on both sides. Using a small juice glass or biscuit cutter, cut a circle out of the center of your bread. Heat your pan with a small amount of butter and place your buttered and cut bread in the pan. Break an egg into the center. Season with salt, fresh ground black pepper, and a touch of grated nutmeg (optional). You could even add a little grated cheddar cheese. You decide if you want the yellow to be cooked or not. Once the white part begins to cook, flip and cook the other side.
