V for Vendetta's - Eggy in a Basket!

Recipe #162532 | 15 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Besides being one of the most amazing movies I've seen in a while, V for Vendetta features the simplest, most CRAVABLE breakfast dish I think I've ever seen. In the movie, "V", in his jaunty kitchen apron, so lovingly prepares this charming breakfast dish for Natalie Portman's character. By the movie's end, I was craving so badly, that I made it for our breakfast for the next two days!! Please feel free to use ANY bread you have on hand. I also like to make these on my large nonstick griddle, but you can prepare them 1-2 at a time using a non stick frying pan.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Butter bread slices on both sides.
  2. 2
    Cut an approximately 2 inch circle in the middle of each slice, using a cookie cutter or small glass.
  3. 3
    Place buttered bread slices on a nonstick griddle pan, preheated over medium heat.
  4. 4
    Add a bit of butter to the center of the bread, and gently crack your eggs into the whole.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle eggs with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  6. 6
    When the eggs begin to set around the edge of the hole, flip.
  7. 7
    Finish cooking eggs as you prefer (over easy or over medium).
  8. 8
    The buttered bread "centers" can be grilled or toasted as well to sop up the extra yolk!

    Yummy! I grew up eating these - my mom called them "ace in the hole"! We always used a glass to cut out the holes, and the most fun part for us kids was eating the hole toasted! Thanks for posting!
