I learned this recipe while I was taking a home economics class in high school (a long time ago). I have prepared these 'eggs in a basket' for my children for Easter fun when they were small. They are all grown up now and they still insist on the 'eggs in a basket' each and every Easter. My hubby really likes them too.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 slice white bread
1 egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or oleo
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper

Directions

1
Remove the crust from each slice of bread.
2
Lightly brush each slice of bread on both sides with the melted butter.
3
In a large cup muffin pan, place and mould each slice of bread in individual cups.
4
Break a fresh egg in each muffin cup.
5
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each egg cup.
6
Add a dab of cold butter (or oleo) on top of each egg cup.
