Thursday- Eggs in a Basket

Personal Note: Back in the early part of my 20s (so not that long ago), I worked at that delicious haven we call Cracker Barrel. I would still work for them if one was close enough, that tells you a lot about the company. Either way, I learned a lot working there including what an Egg in a Basket was. This was not on the planned menu for this week, but SmithCale had to wrap up a big project so I was all on my own for lunch and dinner. He called to tell me to hold off making dinner, so I thought he would just be coming home late. So I worked out, showered and did the dishes until 8 when he called. I said, “Well I’ll get busy making dinner,” thinking he’d be famished. He’d already eaten…thanks SmithCale. Oh well, gave me a great excuse to make this!

Plan of Attack:

1. Heat skillet

2. Cut holes in bread

3. Cook until over-medium

Ingredients for 1 serving (two slices of bread/2 eggs):

2 slices of bread (leftover no-knead bread is fantastic)

½ Tbsp unsalted butter

2 eggs

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet at medium heat; swirling to coat pan
2. Add holed bread and crack eggs into the holes of each piece
3. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs is cooked on the outside and the inside is still over-medium
4. Enjoy (alone :( )
