Eggs in the Basket
Unsure of what to have for breakfast this morning, I asked Jamie and she suggested that I make eggs in the basket, but the way that she usually makes it. Normally, eggs in a basket is a slice of bread with a hole punched out of it. The slice is then placed on a frying pan with some butter, lightly toasted, flipped and then an egg is cracked in the middle of it and is cooked sunny side up.
Jamie’s method is to simply press an indent in the centre of the bread (so that no bread is wasted), spread butter around the indent, crack the egg in the indent and bake. This method gives you baked eggs, which are much softer and fluffier than a fried egg. Just remember to keep track of the yolk so that it doesn’t get overcooked and solidify!
