Eggs in a Basket


After a long weekend away and lots of time spent in the car yesterday the last thing  I wanted to do when I got home was cook a big meal. But after most trips (this one included), I wasn't in the mood to eat out. So I decided to make some breakfast for dinner and whip up some eggs in a basket. The concept is really simple, take some toast, cut a hole, crack an egg in the middle and you have a delicious breakfast. Even though it's the same thing as eating eggs and toast for some reason eggs in a basket just tastes so much better. The yolk becomes super gooey and just oozes right onto the bread, it's making my mouth water just thinking about it. 

I used Texas Toast from Trader Joe's for my bread because it's thick and butter and crisps up so nicely. To me it's the perfect bread for this meal, but feel free to change it up and use your favorite bread. A bagel also makes for a good eggs in a basket, especially since the hole is already there ready to use!
