Birthday Breakfast

My birthday was few weeks back, and since it was during the week, I made myself breakfast. I made a family heirloom recipe, one I'm sharing here. I've been working on a name for this dish. Sometimes we call it "Bird's Nest Eggs" or "Schumacher Eggs", but maybe "Bird's Nest Toast" may be better. Jury's out, is all...

In any case, this is an easy and filling thing to make for breakfast, or a quick snack, or even a quick and clean dinner. You'll need a piece of bread, a glass (hopefully with a small aperture), and an egg.

Start with the glass and remove a round piece of bread in the center:


Then put the bread, with a touch of butter for toasting (not necessary), into the nonstick pan with the round, and place the egg in the opening:


Season well. Eventually you can flip both, and the egg will finish to how you like your yolk.


I like mine with hot sauce and cheese, feta here. I also like my yolks runny, but that's for another post.


If you like cheese, I'd suggest putting it on right after flipping the whole thing, that way it melts easier. This dish is easy and quick and filling and tasty, the quatra-fecta.
