Bird-in-a-Nest Breakfast Recipe

Easy breakfast? I'm all for it! Especially when my toddler chomps it down. This is also known as Peek-a-boo Eggs or Egg-in-a-Hole. First time I tried them was in summer camp, but I don't remember if I was still a camper or a counselor. Hm?

All you need is bread, butter, and eggs. There isn't much to it, so the pictures will do most of the talking.

Ingredients:

bread slices (we use our homemade bread)
eggs (equal to number of bread slices

butter (I use coconut oil)
salt/pepper to taste (I usually skip it altogether)
cookie cutter

Directions: 

1. Cut out a hole in the middle of each slice of bread with the cookie cutter. I like using flowers and hearts, puts a smile on everyone's face!

2. Heat a skillet on medium (I can't do this without my trusty GreenPan). Drop in a dollop of butter or coconut oil.

3. Place bread slice on skillet. Crack the egg into a dish. Turn the bread slice over to make sure it is golden brown. Drop egg into hole. At this point I cover the skillet for about 2 minutes.

4. Turn over. You have the option of turning it over right onto the plate, or letting it sit a little longer on the other side if you like the eggs more firm. Place on plate, place round piece on top. Optionally sprinkle with some chopped green onions. 

My three year old loves it! I have been making just one slice per person, but clearly it isn't enough!

Enjoy!
