We've got a lot of eggs that need to be used and we also happen to have quite a few cookie cutters, so this was a great recipe find. The girls LOVED it! Quick and easy breakfast, works for me! Check out Rocks in My Dryer for all kinds of great tips. You can get the original from Family Fun here. We didn't use butter, just lightly sprayed the pan and it worked just fine.
Ingredients
1 slice of bread
1 tbsp. butter
1 egg
Directions
Crack the egg by striking it firmly against a bowl or ramekin, then carefully break open the shell. Pick out any shell fragments and set aside. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter (circle, heart, star or flower), cut a shape out of the piece of bread. Fry it lightly on one side (you can also fry the cutout shape). Flip the bread over. Reduce the heat to low.
Ask your child to carefully pour the egg into the cutout hole in the middle of the bread. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the egg has set in the bread "nest." For an over-easy egg, he can flip the egg and bread and cook it on the other side. Serves 1.

I love the idea of using the cookie cutter to make the middle of the bread a fun shape. I am definitely going to use this idea. Would also love to win the hairbows. Too cute!
"Eggie in a Basket" is a staple around here. Ours have always just been made with a plain bicuit cutter. Now that I've seen your adorable flower I'm inspired to jazz up breakfast! Great idea, thanks!
OMG, this is an amazing idea. I'm doing it for breakfast for the kids tomorrow.. Cute Cute Cute...
I'll let ya know!
Oh.. .and thank you so much for the bow! I'm so happy and I hope the snack ideas will help!!
I made it.. I love it. I'm having it for breakfast tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the fab idea!
P.S. I used an angel cut out because it was the coolest one I had. So cute! (I put Nutella on the angel part after I'd Toasted that as well.. it was a loved breakfast with pinapple!
I grew up with these & still love eating them!
I call this "egg in a hole" and we put syrup on it.My husband's family calls it egyptian fried toast (don't ask my why) and they put pepper on the egg as it's cooking.
I loved these growing up and still do. We called them eggs in a frame and they were a big it along with the little cut out bread to dip in your egg. I have made these for kids that I use to watch and they always asked for them. Thanks for sharing them
