Doug's Over Easy Breakfast
.
Today's breakfast recipe is brought to you by Simple Daily Recipes reader, Old Doug.
Doug, thank you for this easy and fast breakfast that was fun to make.

ALL IT TAKES

  • 1 piece of toast
  • 1 egg
  • salt & pepper

Use a biscuit cutter to cut a two inch hole in the center of the toast. Get a small nonstick fry pan hot over medium heat.  Lay in the toast, crack the egg into the hole.  Season with salt & pepper.  Cover the pan.  I like to use the plate that I eat off of; the pan warms the plate and keeps my breakfast hot.

Turn off burner, but do not remove from heat.  Set the timer 3 to 4 minutes, depending how runny you like your egg.  Try not to peek or you'll let out the steam that is cooking the top of the egg.

Slide the egg-toast onto the hot plate, top it with the center cut of the toast and whatever hot sauce or hot peppers you like with your eggs.  You're ready to eat!

      I like that! I had no idea it had a name.
      I Googled Diner lingo the other day, it was very amusing and made
      me wish I had the habit of using it.

    We call it bird in a nest. I do fry it instead of steaming it though. I also take the center that is buttered and pan fry it and dip it in the center of the yolk. Yum!

    It is, Raquel. It’s fun to make, too.
    Funny how a muffin pan can make toast, egg and bacon look elegant, and yet, it does it easily.
