Egg in a Basket (Ekmek Ici Yumurta)

2 eggs

2 slices of bread, any kind

2-3 Tbsp butter

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Use a small cup or cookie cutter to cut a hole (or any shape) in the middle of the slice. Place 1 Tbsp of butter in a pan and place it over medium heat. Then, place the slice in the pan and put 1 tsp of butter inside the hole. Crack the egg into a small cup and then release the egg into the bread hole gently. Or you may crack the egg directly into the hole. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Carefully lift up the edge and see if the bottom is nice and solid maybe a little bit of golden brownness. Flip it with a wooden spatula. Add some more butter to the pan. You should see the egg has been cooked nicely on side one and into the edges of the bread nicely. Again sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the second side about a minute or so. The second side takes a little bit less time to cook, but check and feel if the firmness is to your taste. Flip back over as the first side is typically the pretty side, and place it on your plate. Repeat the same steps for the other slices.
