The egg in a basket, is an egg made on the grill, inside a mold bread. It is a very typical breakfast recipe although, you can take it at any time of the day. I usually prepare it for dinner. If you have seen the movie V de Vendetta, there the protagonist prepares a pair of these eggs in one of the scenes of the film. From that moment, this recipe became much more famous than it already was. Prepare an egg in a basket could not be simpler and bartato. We will only need 4 ingredients.
INGREDIENTS FOR AN EGG IN BASKET:
1 egg
1 slice of bread mold. Bimbo type
A spoonful of butter
Salt
HOW TO MAKE AN EGG IN A BASKET:
1.- First we make a hole in the center of the mold bread. We can help a glass for it.
2.- Put the tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet at medium temperature. It is important that it is non-stick or if not the egg will stick on it
3.- When the butter has been undone and is hot we put the bread with the hole already made and cooked for a couple of minutes one of their faces.
4.- When it has been toasted a little bit, we turn it over. We add an egg in the hole
5.- Now, although traditionally let it cook a couple of minutes, over medium heat, and then turn the egg over with the bread, so that the yolk is cooked also, I do something else, so that the egg is left cooked, but with the yolk without curdling. It consists of letting the egg cook, without turning it over a gentle fire. So the heat will go up little by little from the base of the egg, getting that after about 4 or 5 minutes, we have the clear curd but, the yolk still liquid.
And with these simple ones, not very simple steps, we will have our egg in prepared basket. I hope you like it!
