This is a simple way to get your toast and eggs together in one pan. My son has been crazy for this for years and will beg me to make them for him.

How to Make Hen in a Nest

Step-by-Step

You will either need a drinking glass or cookie/biscuit cutter.
Cut a whole in the center of the bread
In frying pan set to medium heat, melt a slab of butter
Butter both sides of the bread and place in the pan to brown the first side.
When bread is lightly toasted brown on the bottom, crack your egg into the hole.
Note: if the pan seems dry of butter you may want to add a little inside the round opening before adding the egg.
Allow egg to cook whites solid on the one side before you flip the hen and nest
brown opposite side of bread.

Serve immediately!
