There are so many names for this one, but if you like toast and fried eggs you probably have a version of it. It makes a quick and easy breakfast that satisfies as the yolk soaks into crusty bread. My favorite here has sweet bites as well as savory ones. (Note: using both the oven and the skillet keeps from burning the cinnamon/sugar mixture).
Ingredients
- 2 slice
- favorite bread for toast
- 2 Tbsp
- unsalted butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp
- sugar
- 1/2 tsp
- ground cinnamon
- 2
- eggs
- 1 pinch
- kosher salt
- 1 pinch
- fresh ground pepper
How to Make Bird in the Nest
- 1Take bread slices and cut out hole in the center with a biscuit cutter.
- 2Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Spread half of the butter on the bread and then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top. Broil in oven until lightly browned.
- 3Place remainder of butter in a hot non-stick skillet and place toast slices (browned side up)in immediately. Crack an egg into each of the center holes. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4Cover the skillet so the yolk will cook without having to turn the bread over. Cook on medium high until the egg is over easy or over medium.
- 5Place the toast on a plate and drizzle with pure maple syrup or honey.
