Egg Fried Bread Recipes

EGGY BREAD

Steps:

• Lightly beat the egg in a shallow bowl along with the milk. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure it has soaked up all of the liquid. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around the pan and when it's beginning to foam, add the bread and fry on each side for 1 min or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and serve with crispy bacon or fruit compote.

FRIED BREAD: A VERY NAUGHTY BREAKFAST--BUT OH, SO WORTH IT!

Steps:

• Fry the bacon, reserving the fat in the (preferably cast iron) pan.
• Next, fry the bread and egg in the bacon fat, side by side. The bread should turn a lovely golden brown color; cook the egg as desired (or you can soft-boil it, poach it, etc.)
• Place the fried bread on a plate and top with the egg, and a side of bacon.
• Serve immediately with a steaming, hot mug of tea.

EGG AND CHEESE BREAD OMELET

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, scallion and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until melted and starting to brown around the edges. Add the egg mixture and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Working quickly, dip 1 slice of the bread in the eggs, then flip it and place close to one edge of the pan. Repeat with the remaining slice of bread, setting it across the pan from the first bread slice (near the opposite edge) so they are in a straight line with eggs all around. Season with a pinch salt.
• Continue to cook the eggs until they are completely set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide a large metal spatula under the bread slices and flip the whole omelet in one single motion. Put the cheese on top of the omelet, covering the bread slices. Using the spatula, fold one side of the omelet (but not the bread side) over the bread and cheese followed by the other side. Then fold in half to form a sandwich and continue to cook until the bread on the bottom is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

SUNSHINE TOAST

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
• Using a glass or cookie cutter, create a hole in the middle of the bread, removing the center so it is perfectly circular. Butter the bread lightly on both sides and lightly fry it on one side, and then turn it over. Crack the egg into the hole in the middle of the bread and fry quickly. Be careful that the bread does not burn. Serve warm.

EGG IN A HOLE

Steps:

• Melt the bacon grease in a non-stick pan over low heat.
• Cut a 1 1/2 to 2-inch hole from the center of the bread slice; lay in the hot skillet. When the side facing down is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes, flip and crack the egg into the hole; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the egg is cooked and mostly firm. Flip again and cook 1 minute more to assure doneness on both sides. Serve immediately.

• Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends. Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread. Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
