Egyptain One-Eyes

Weird name?  Yes. 
Really yummy?  Yes. 
Fun to eat?  Yes. 

...Three requirements for getting my kids excited about eating.


(You may know these as Sunshine Toast, or Eggs in a Basket, etc.  We call 'em Egyptian One-Eyes.)


First, choose a cookie cutter.  In honor of the fall season we used a pumpkin. 
Cut the center out of the slice of bread. 
(Make sure your cookies cutter itsn't so big that it cuts the crust of the bread.)

Then butter each cut out center, this will be the 'toast.'
 Also, butter around the edges of the bread with the hole in it. 

Heat a skillet or griddle to about 300 or 325 degrees. 
Spray with a non-stick coating, and put the bread on it. 
Crack an egg in each hole, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. 
Cook for about a minute. 
However long you would normally cook a fried egg, depending on how well you like your yolk cooked.  Then turn them over. 

  The toasts will cook really fast, so don't add those to the griddle until the eggs are almost done. 


These are fine just by themselves, but a slice of bacon goes great with about any breakfast.  :)
And the little peice of toast is perfect for soaking up any yolk that runs out when you cut into the egg.
