Egg in a Basket is one of the easiest and most delicious egg-centric breakfasts out there--and it takes just 5 minutes to make. Start with a thick slice of your favorite bread, carve out a small hole, place over a hot buttered skillet and crack an egg into the center! Cook over medium heat until the egg is set and the toast is crisp and golden. Breakfast is served.
