Yummy Yummy Eggs!!

Today is Saturday and I am at my parent's house for the weekend while David is in Waco continuing on his life-long quest to finish his thesis. I HATE it when he has to stay in Waco, or when I am with him in Waco for the weekend and he has to work on it while I am there. I wish he would just get it done already!! Anyway, my mom has been at computer training all morning, and for fun I thought I would make a different breakfast. My inspiration was the movie "V for Vendetta." I liked that movie alright, but it has always stuck in my mind that not once but twice Natalie Portman was made eggs in a basket for breakfast in that movie. Eggs in a basket is where you cook the egg inside the toast in a frying pan. I tried it and really liked it, so when my sister and her friend Holly were ready to eat breakfast I made it for them too. I think it was a success! Here is my recipe for Eggs in a Basket:

2 pieces white or wheat bread
2 eggs
1 Kraft American cheese single
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Lite!
Salt
Some sort of non-stick spray
Large frying pan
Cup or wine glass

Set the eye you are going to use on medium heat and place your pan on it.

Lay out your pieces of bread and butter them. Take your cup (I used a wine glass with better results, the rim is thinner and cuts easily) and punch out a circle in the center of each piece of bread. Save the centers and set them aside.

Spray your pan lightly with the non-stick spray, then place your bread baskets butter side down on the pan.

Immediately crack the eggs and put one in the center of each piece of bread. Sprinkle a little salt on each one.

Cook until the bottom of the egg is firm enough to flip. You don't want the bread to get burned, so flip asap. Before you flip, put a little butter on the bread so it gets nice and brown when you flip.

Once you have flipped the baskets, place half of the cheese single on top of each egg and put the centers that you set aside butter side down in the extra areas of the pan. Flip those until they are as crispy as you like them.

Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the baskets and put them on a plate. Put the centers that are still in the pan on top of the cheese.

Enjoy! I suggest eating with a fork and knife. Yum!
