Eggs In A Frame Recipes

EGG IN A FRAME

Steps:

• Butter both sides of sliced bread then using a cookie cutter or a small glass cut a whole through center of bread. Fry both pieces of bread in a stick free or buttered pan over low heat and flip when browned to taste. Pour an egg into the hole and allow it and the bread to fry again to taste. Then serve using the cutout and a cover or if you want your egg over easy flip and then serve. Spice to taste and don't be afraid to experiment with condiments or cheese for that personal touch of flavor.

EGGS IN A FRAME

Steps:

• Place bread on a clean, flat surface and, using a 3 inch diameter biscuit cutter or rim of a drinking glass, very firmly press into bread and twist to cut through bread. Remove and reserve the round of bread.
• Melt butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Remove from heat and add the bread "frame" and the round.
• Turn the frame and round over to coat both sides with the melted butter, then return skillet to medium heat.
• Crack egg and pour into hole in the bread frame.
• Watch carefully and flip the round, to brown both sides, and turn over the egg in the frame when the white is almost completely opaque (about 1 1/2-2 minutes.)
• Reduce heat to low and cook for about 15-30 seconds (according to the yolk firmness you prefer.)
• Remove to warm plate and season as desired. Black truffle sea salt is highly recommended (the "real" stuff is available at myspicesage.com.)
