Jamie's Eggs in a Basket

Ingredients

  • 1 slice white or wheat bread
  • 1 egg
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Method

  1. Butter the bread. Using a small round cutter (or a cup) that fits within the bread, cut out a circle from the center.
  2. Place both the bread and the separated buttered circle in a frying pan.
  3. Crack an egg into the middle of the hole in the bread.
  4. Fry until the egg is mostly set on the bottom, then flip the bread. Flip the buttered circle too.
  5. Top with more butter and maple syrup.
