Time 4m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

egg
bread
butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut a circle in the middle of a piece of bread.
  • If you don't have a round cookie cutter, the top of a glass will work.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle sprayed with Pam or Mazola.
  • Place the bread in the pan.
  • Put about 1/2 t butter in the hole in the bread.
  • Heat the butter until very hot.
  • Crack an egg in the hole.
  • Use a spatula to move the white around so it gets done.
  • When the egg is fairly well set, turn the bread and egg over to cook the other side, being careful not to break the yolk.
  • In the meantime, toast the holes from the bread for dipping in the yolk.
  • Oh, and salt and pepper as desired.
  • I guess you could toast the bread before you put it in the pan, but I've never tried it that way.

Time 1h3m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
¼ cup butter, melted
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs
¾ cup shredded provolone cheese
6 slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Mix potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Divide potato mixture among muffin cups. Press to create a thin crust over the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are a light golden brown and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Crack an egg gently into each cup. Continue cooking until egg whites are set and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes. Remove from the oven; cover eggs with provolone cheese.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Toss prosciutto with maple syrup and pepper in a small bowl. Spread out on a small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  • Place muffin tin and baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil until cheese is melted and prosciutto is crisp, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer egg baskets to a serving plate. Chop prosciutto and sprinkle on top.

EGGS IN A BOX

My husband served this at camp last year. A quick breakfast when you want something a little different.

Provided by Jadestonediabetic

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
2 slices old bread
butter (spreadable)
pepper (to taste)
1 (1 g) packet Splenda sugar substitute
1 pinch pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Butter both sides of 2 slices of old bread. Cut a hole in each with a cookie cutter (any shape you want, but the rounder ones work best). Heat frying pan or flat griddle on med. heat and spray with cooking spray.
  • Put buttered bread in pan and immediatly crack an egg into each hole inside the bread. Add pepper to taste. (Cover with a lid if you want over hard eggs).
  • In small bowl whisk one egg, milk, Splenda and pumpkin pie spice together. Add leftover bread that was cut out with the cookie cutter. Coat bread holes in egg mixture and add to pan. Uncover pan and flip toast with eggs in them. Bread should be slightly browm on each side (same for the bread holes).
  • Serve immediatly. I find that the bread holes are sweet enough by themselves, but if you have to, add some sugar-free maple syrup or no sugar added fruit spread/jelly/preserves to them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. Make sure to check the expiration date on the carton before you buy them.
  • Choose the right pan: A non-stick skillet is the best choice for cooking eggs in a box. It will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan and will make it easier to flip them.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat: Do not overheat the pan, or the eggs will burn. Medium heat is ideal for cooking eggs evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: Do not try to cook too many eggs in the pan at once. This will make it difficult to flip the eggs and will make them more likely to stick together.
  • Flip the eggs carefully: Once the eggs are cooked on one side, carefully flip them using a spatula. Be careful not to break the yolks.
  • Season to taste: Once the eggs are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
