Moon Over Miami (or egg in a basket)

Prep: 15 min Serves: 1

This recipe has many different names: birds nest, bulls eye eggs, cowboy eggs, egg-in-a-hole, egg in a/the basket, eggs in a blanket, elephant egg bagel, frog in a hole, gas house eggs, moon eggs, Moon over Miami, and Rocky Mountain toast.

Ingredients:

1. 1 slice bread (can use half a bagel or a waffle instead)
2. butter, margarine or bacon grease for you southern food lovers out there!
   
3. 1 egg

Optional Ingredients:

1. salt & pepper to taste
2. hot sauce
3. shredded cheese
   

Directions:

1. Use a cookie cutter to cut a hole in the middle of a slice of bread (most people choose a circle, oval or egg shape but to make it more fun I let my kids pick any shape they want- my oldest usually picks a skull & my youngest a dog or flower).
   
2. Lightly grease the bread on both sides.
3. Fry bread like you are frying a grilled cheese sandwich.
4. Crack an egg into the cut-out hole
