How do I make "Eggie in the Box"?

Question

...Or "basket"?? In the movie V for Vendetta, V, and another character makes this for breakfast. It looks yummy!! I'm just wondering if it's a real dish, and how to make it!! Thanks!

Thanks!!! This is great! :D

Answer 1

It is a real dish, and a yummy one at that! Here's a recipe

EGG IN A BASKET
1 unbaked biscuit
1 egg
Grated cheese
Place biscuit in muffin tin. Shape to fit sides and make a well in the center. Break egg into "basket". Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese just before serving.

EGG IN A BASKET
For each serving you will need: 1 egg
Using cookie cutter, donut cutter or just the bottom of a cup, cut out design in the center of the bread. Make sure you leave all sides intact. Save center to fry with egg in the basket.

Heat frying pan with small amount of oil and place bread with design cut out in pan. Break egg into center and fry as you would regular egg. At same time place cut out piece and fry. Turn each piece over once to fry on both sides.

This recipe is good for the beginner cook who likes to help make breakfast as the whole slice makes it easier to "flip" then just a plain fried egg.


EGGS IN A BASKET
1 tbsp. melted butter
4 eggs
4 slices bread
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Remove crust from bread. Press bread slices with a rolling pin. Brush with butter. Press each slice of bread into a muffin tin. Crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Answer 2

I take a piece of bread, cut out a hole with a round or heart shaped cookie cutter, spread with a little butter.
Preheat pan.
Put bread down, butter side down.
Crack egg into a separate bowl (to make sure you don't get shell in the bread!) then gently pour into the hole on the bread.
Cook for a minute or two until it sets.
Gently flip. Sprinkle top with salt and a little dill is nice.
I always give my kids the heart I cut out on the side or while they're waiting.
