How to Make Over Easy Egg In A Basket

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of butter.
  2. While the butter melts, cut a small circle (about 1 inch in diameter) out of the center of each slice of bread using a small knife or biscuit cutter.
  3. Spread the remaining butter evenly over one side of each bread slice.
  4. Place the bread slices in the preheated skillet, butter-side down.
  5. Crack one egg into the hole of each bread slice.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges of the bread are golden brown and the egg whites are set.
  7. Carefully flip the bread slices (using a spatula to gently lift) and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness (runny for over-easy).
