After multiple tries.. TA-DA!! Here is my eggy in a basket..
How to do it..
- Toast your bread so that it becomes crisp and firm
- Cut a hole in the center of the bread - square, round.. take your pick
- Heat up your pan and toss some butter in, making sure your pan is well oiled
- Throw in the bread and quickly break the egg into the hole of the bread (If the egg white oozes out, not to worry, it happens all the time. I think it's because the eggs I use are too big)
- Let the egg cook
- Using a wide spatula, lift up both the bread and egg together and flip it over gently (This is the hard part. Try not to dislodge the egg from the bread if not all you get is a piece of fried bread and an egg and the whole point is lost. I toast the bread first so that it's not too soft to flip over.)
- Cook the egg on the other side. Season with some salt and pepper. (Don't leave it for too long or else the bread may get burnt)
- Serve hot with sausages or salad on the side.
Bon appetit!
