Eggs in a Basket are pretty high on my list of favorite breakfast foods. And I Really love breakfast, so that’s saying something. To add a festive twist to this otherwise very ordinary breakfast, I used a heart cookie cutter to cut the center of the bread out. My heart isn’t as noticeable when cooked because the bread slid a little bit when I flipped it, but I promise it was there, see?
This really is so simple to make, just butter a pan and turn it to medium heat. Cut a hole in a slice of bread with a cookie cutter, glass, jar, or even tear it. You can cook it sunny side up if you’d like, just brown the bread on one side for a couple minutes, then flip it, and crack an egg into it. Cover and let cook until it is done. I prefer cracking the egg into the bread right away, cooking it on one side for a couple minutes, flipping it, and cooking the other side.

Hoe cute is this?! I remember we used to make them when I was little just using a glass to cut out a round circle. Perfect way to jazz it up for V-Day!
Thanks! My dad used to make this all the time when I was little, and I think those memories are part of the reason I love it so much!
These are so delicious. I love the hearts cutout, so cute!
Thank you! It was such an easy way to make it festive 🙂
one of the things I love about reading other food blogs is finding out about so many different recipes and kinds of food…I’ve never heard of eggs in a basket before but it sounds like something I could get hooked on pretty easily!
It’s so interesting, isn’t it? And I love learning about different ways to do things or substitutions that I would never have thought of myself!
So cute!
Thanks 🙂

Thanks! I’ve heard them called a couple other things, but egg in a basket is my favorite!
