Egg Centered…..in a piece of toast!
These have been called anything and everything…well, not literally anything and everything…
Not those words specifically. 🙂
However, many years ago, I started making this as a way to get my kids to eat eggs.
And you know what?
It worked….they do like and eat eggs for breakfast!
Although Twin #1 would still prefer a Waffle loaded with Syrup and Butter….and Twin # 2 would still prefer Biscuits, loaded down with Sausage Gravy.
If they were given a choice, that is.
If no choice is available, they like egg centered in a piece of toast.
It is also a quick way to make eggs and toast.
The egg can be whole or scrambled. Hard or Soft….
The skillet doesn’t care! 😉
I made these the other day and the Captain thought it was a special occasion as I added a couple strips of crisp, hickory smoked bacon and a few strawberries, a sprig of mint from my herb garden and lots of coffee….hot tea for me!
I said it was special….;)
Actually, it was quick and easy to prepare.
One of those breakfasts that are a snap to make when you don’t have a lot of time.
These can also be made for an on-the-go egg sandwich.
Just cook the egg to the hard stage (or not) and wrap in aluminum foil, grab a cup of coffee and you are good to go. 🙂
Below are the simple steps….it is a piece of cake!
OK…it is not cake…but you get my meaning! 🙂
Using a cookie cutter, cut the “hole” out of the piece of bread of choice. (Save the circles for crust-less sandwiches or for croutons)
In a non stick skillet, spray with cooking spray or brush the underside of the “holed” bread.
Brown lightly on one side.
Flip the bread over and add a egg to the center.
Spice it up with salt and pepper and a little cayenne pepper.
Cook until the desired doneness of the egg….hard, soft, over medium or sunny side up.
Sunny Side Up…Captain’s Choice!
Serve with crisp bacon, orange juice and black coffee and you have a “special breakfast” that was so easy it almost cooks itself. 🙂
Over medium…my choice! 😉
Now, how simple was that? 🙂
Enjoy!
Me
- 4 fresh eggs
- 4 slices of bread...your choice
- butter or cooking spray
- salt and pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- Cut center out of bread with a cookie cutter.
- Spray a large non stick skillet with cooking spray or butter the bread.
- Brown one side of each slice of bread over medium heat. (If making a sunny side up egg, brown the other sides too)
- Carefully break an egg into each hole in the bread (toast now)
- Season and cook to desired done-ness.
- Serve with bacon. orange juice, and coffee.
- If you want your eggs over medium...carefully flip the toast and egg at the same time.
- Yummy! And it doesn't hurt that it is a clever way to have your toast and egg too...:)
