How to Make Egg On The Bird's Nest

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Separate two large eggs, placing egg whites in a bowl and yolks in a separate small bowl.
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Lightly toast two slices of bread (about 1/2 inch thick).
Using a spoon, pipe or spread the egg whites onto the four corners of each bread slice, creating a 'nest' shape.
Gently crack one egg yolk into the center of each bread nest.
Place the bread nests on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are golden brown and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
Carefully remove from oven and transfer to plates.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Decorate with a dollop of tomato ketchup (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
