Sunday Brunch: Eggs In A Basket Recipe
- 4 thickly cut slices of bread (day old works best)
- 6 tablespoons softened butter, divided
- 4 eggs
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Coarse sea salt
- Cut 3-inch hole in center of each piece of bread using biscuit cutter or cup and coat both sides of each slice with butter, using 4 tablespoons total.
- Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add buttered bread. Toast until bread is golden brown 3-5 minutes (you can toast the cut-out centers at the same time if desired). Remove bread from pan and melt additional 1/2 T butter. Once butter has melted add bread, toasted side up.
- Crack egg into each hole and cover pan. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until egg is just set but yolk is runny, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately with green salad if desired.
