This dish came about because I wanted a fun new way to serve breakfast. So I hollowed out a leftover hamburger bun, dropped in an egg, threw a cheese slice on top and grilled it in a pan. Origin-wise, it takes its cue from toad-in-the-hole and spinach dip (or chili) in a bread bowl. Experience-wise, it was one of the yummiest eggs-on-toast I've ever had. The bun was buttery and crunchy, the egg silky smooth and oozing, and the cheese melty. My daughter loved it too, especially when I named the dish bunny eggs. She thought those were the funniest words she'd heard since banana.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Slice the top third of the hamburger buns off, and scoop out enough of the insides to make little pockets for the eggs.
2

Add a good knob of butter to a non-stick pan on low heat. Once the butter's melted, lay in the hamburger buns, hollowed-side up. Don't forget the bun tops. Crack one egg into each bun, and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with a lid and let cook for 6 to 8 minutes.
3

Remove the lid and flip both the buns and bun tops over. Let fry for about 1 minute, then flip them over again. Top the buns with cheese slices and put the lid back on. Turn off the heat and wait 1 minute, to allow the cheese to melt. Put the bun tops back on before serving.
