V for Vendetta's - Eggy in a Basket!
By: Kozmic Blues
Apr 3, 2006
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
Ingredients
- 6 slices whole wheat bread
- 6 eggs
- butter
- salt and pepper
Directions
1
Butter bread slices on both sides.2
Cut an approximately 2 inch circle in the middle of each slice, using a cookie cutter or small glass.3
Place buttered bread slices on a nonstick griddle pan, preheated over medium heat.4
Add a bit of butter to the center of the bread, and gently crack your eggs into the whole.5
Sprinkle eggs with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.6
When the eggs begin to set around the edge of the hole, flip.7
Finish cooking eggs as you prefer (over easy or over medium).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 drinking glass to cut out the holes, and the most fun part for us kids was eating the toasted "hole"! 
Thanks for posting!

Very Tasty! I tried cutting out the circles and then buttering the bread - it was a pain. Stick to the recipe and it should be easier to deal with the slices of bread.

Excellent movie, excellent recipe. I too like to use cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the bread. Easy to make and always a hit in our house. Thanks for posting!
