Egg-in-a-Nest



This is a really simple breakfast treat.  One that Hans likes to make for us during the weekend.  It basically consists of a slice of bread with an egg fried in the middle.  Not something you would consider a prime example of fine cooking, but definitely something good!  You’ll want to use slightly stale bread, a really fresh egg and definitely some good butter.
So, how do you make this?
Using a round cookie cutter, cut a circle out of the middle of the bread. Melt a good knob of butter in your pan.  Let one side of the bread fry to a golden brown.  This will take about 2-3 minutes.  Turn the bread over and crack the egg into the hole.  Allow to cook until the egg is to your liking.  I like mine a little runny so this calls for about two to three more minutes frying time.  Serve your bread with a glass of juice and some fresh fruit for an easy, complete breakfast.
