To make eggs in a basket, make a 2 inch hole in the center of a bread slice by pressing the mouth of a glass or jar into the bread, or cut out the hole with a knife. You can use white, wheat, sourdough, or any other bread you like! Butter both sides, then fry the bread in hot butter in a skillet until both sides are browned. Add a little more butter in the hole, then crack an egg and drop it in. Fry the egg for 1-2 minutes, then flip the bread to fry the other side. Enjoy your eggs in a basket with a fork or eat it like a piece of toast! For tips on how to make a low-carb version of this recipe, read on!
