Weekend Eggstra

I was reminded of this dish from my childhood recently because Nanny G. tore the middle out of a piece of bread to feed the Blossom. We eat alot of Eggs In Nests over here at "Herding Cats". Thought you might enjoy it this weekend.

"Egg In A Nest".

You will need:
-1 egg per person
-1 slice of bread per person
-1 slice of bacon per person
-Margarine or butter
-Salt and pepper

-On griddle or in shallow frying pan, fry bacon until cooked to desired doneness. Remove bacon grease if desired. Drain bacon on paper towel. Break each piece of bacon into two equal portions.

-In pan or griddle preheated on medium high heat,place two halves of bacon slice side by side.

-Butter bread on both sides. Remove center of bread to leave a hole about an inch in diameter.

-Place bread over bacon slices so that bacon shows through hole.

-Break egg into bread so that yolk drops into the hole in the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

-When bread is golden-brown on bottom, turn over, as in eggs over easy.

-Cook until yolk reaches desired doneness. Mmmm.

Note: I've found even when keeping the bacon grease in the pan, you still need to butter the bread or the bread will burn.
