V for Vendetta's - Eggy in a Basket!

A nice simple breakfast dish that brings back childhood memories - I used wholemeal/wholegrain bread and toasted one side first in the toaster on crumpet setting and then lightly sprayed a non-stick frypan with oil spray (to cut down saturated fat) put the uncooked side down and put the egg in the whole and also put the cut out bits uncooked side down to brown off and cooked for a few minutes till white was set though my yolk cooked more than I would have liked but only because it broke as it went into the pan but still had a bit of runny yolk to mop up with the cut out bit of toast. Thank you Kosmic Blue for breakfast and averybird for the recommendation, made for I recommend tag game.

I made this both yesterday and today, and each time it turned out fabulous! I remember trying my hand at this recipe when the movie first came out, but let's just say that it didn't turn out half as good as with this recipe!

Also, I just wanted to include that I am on a diet. So, I made the following substitutions: low calorie bread, whipped butter, 2% milk, and with egg whites (I used one egg white per basket and it still turned out darned good). I made my husbands with the previous modifications, but I used the egg yolks. We both give the recipe five stars for OUTSTANDING! A must try!

I'll vouch for this. I love bread toasted on the stove, it's so much better then out of the toaster. So this just made perfect sense one day. Everyone I've made these for loves them. I usually melt some cheese on top once I've flipped the bread.

Yummy! I grew up eating these - my mom called them "ace in the hole"! We always used a drinking glass to cut out the holes, and the most fun part for us kids was eating the toasted "hole"! :) Thanks for posting!

Very Tasty! I tried cutting out the circles and then buttering the bread - it was a pain. Stick to the recipe and it should be easier to deal with the slices of bread.

My Dad taught my daughters to make these, but he called them Moonstruck - think from that movie too. I especially like to do two eggs in a large slice of sour dough bread. Sometimes we sprinkle a little grated cheese over the top after they have been flipped. Pretty with a bit of chopped chives or other herbs too.

My 10 and 12 year old daughters love to make these. They use different cookie cutters to make the holes.

I've been making this for ages and it is absolutely delicious (we call it eggy toast). Far better than just plain old eggs and toast. I usually use sliced canadian white instead of wheat, and the kids request this all the time. Thanks for a great recipe, from an excellent movie.

Years ago, my British stepmother used to make this for a weekend breakfast, only she called it "toad in a hole." This brings back memories... Now I need to make it again! -vicarjane

Yummy down to the last bite! My DH is the V4Vendetta fan, and he is the one who looked up your recipe. Now, he's been designated as Saturday's official Eggy in a Basket breakfast chef! The only difference in his Eggy's: he pan-fries the toast on both sides before adding the egg...this way, the bread doesn't have a chance to get soggy! Thanks a bunch (o'eggy's!)

I've been eating this what we call "egg in a hole" since I was a kid. I'm a baby boomer and my Mom used to make these for us all the time. Now I make them for my DH and myself. They are delish, and it's great to take a trip down memory lane.

You just can't go wrong with eggs in a basket. Heck, my bread ripped and the egg went everywhere and I made a mess but darn was it super tasty and satisfying! It's even more pretty if you use different shaped cookie cutters. I'll be having this often!
