This is a little meal I grew up on. My mom would make this for us and we loved it. I still make it often and especially when we have company. Basically, you end up with toast and egg all at once. I haven't used my toaster in a long time. I've heard it called several different things, must be regional, we called it Egg in the Nest.
What you'll need:
-Eggs
-slices of your favorite bread (I like using rustic homemade breads, but wonderbread would work)
-butter or olive oil
-a nice pan
I start with spreading butter or the olive oil on one side of the bread and then cutting a hole about an inch in diameter or square in the center. While I'm doing that I get the pan hot and drizzle some olive oil in it (you could use butter here too). Next place the slice, buttered side up, in the pan and crack an egg in the hole. Flip the slice with egg when it's ready, depending on how you like your eggs. Don't forget to also pan fry the little chunk of bread that you cut out. Serve hot!!! YUM!
