Eggs in a Basket
This is a fun way to serve fried eggs and toast. Kids LOVE it, especially when you get creative and use cookie cutters with shapes. With Halloween right around the corner, I've made mine for sharing today using my bat and ghost cookie cutters.
This is one of those recipes that I don't include any specific quantities for the ingredients. You'll want to make 1-2 baskets per person, and just need one egg for every one piece of bread and enough butter for coating your pan before adding each new bread slice. It's best to cook these one at a time unless you have a very wide skillet or griddle, which I do not. Lol.
The only thing you always have to be sure of is that your crusts stay intact. As long as you stay in the crusts you can cut any shape you want into your bread.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut a 3 inch circle out of the center of each bread slice. Or use any shape cookie cutter to add a little fun. Reserve cut-outs.
- 2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray then melt about 1/2 tbs butter. Note: Going nonstick all the way ensures absolute ease in cooking your eggs.
- 3
Place a slice of bread directly on melted butter. For over easy eggs toast bread to a golden brown then crack egg into center.
- 4
Allow to cook until white has set on bottom. Salt and Pepper egg if desired. Carefully flip. Cook second side to golden brown.
- 5
Melt additional butter. Cook cut-outs on both sides to golden brown as well. Serve. Enjoy!
- 6
Note: the firmer you want your egg yolk the sooner you will need to add your egg before flipping. If you prefer over hard eggs, add your egg about 30 seconds -1 minute into toasting your bread. Conversely, if you like sunnyside up eggs, flip your toast then add your egg. 😉
