Eggs In A Blanket Food

EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all spread out, place the slice of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.
• Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper. After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and salt and pepper the other side.
• Move the toast around in the skillet, soaking up all of the glorious butter. Let it cook until the yolk feels soft. Here's the key: golden brown toast, white (not browned/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk. Perfect.

EGG IN THE BASKET

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.

EGGS IN A BASKET

Steps:

• Remove the crust from each slice of bread.
• Lightly brush each slice of bread on both sides with the melted butter.
• In a large cup muffin pan, place and mould each slice of bread in individual cups.
• Break a fresh egg in each muffin cup.
• Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each egg cup.
• Add a dab of cold butter (or oleo) on top of each egg cup.
• Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until the eggs are done to your liking.
• Once the eggs are done, remove from oven let cool for a couple of minutes.
• Remove the egg baskets from the muffin pan and serve hot with your other favorite Easter foods.

EGGS IN A BASKET

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.
