Egg In A Sprouted Nest

Total Time: 7 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 organic egg (non-organic is fine, too)
• 1 slice sprouted 100% whole grain bread (we use ezekiel 4 -- 9 bread)
• butter or nonstick cooking spray

Recipe

• 1 using a glass (drinking cup), or circular cookie cutter that is just smaller than the crust line, cut out a circle inside the slice of bread.
• 2 heat skillet on the stove over medium-low heat.
• 3 coat bottom of skillet with butter or non-stick spray so the egg and bread will not stick.
• 4 place bread ("nest"), with center hole removed, into the skillet.
• 5 crack the egg into the middle of the hole (you may season the egg with your favorite seasonings, if you like, or leave it plain).
• 6 while "egg in a nest" is cooking, you can toast the circle cut-out of bread, for a small side of toast. add butter (and honey, or any other topping) to the circle piece of toast as soon as it comes out of the toaster.
• 7 keeping a close eye on the skillet, remove "egg in a nest" when egg is cooked to your liking (sunny-side up), or -- cover skillet with a lid for 2-4 minutes for "over-easy, over-medium, or over-hard" eggs. check often to make sure it is cooked to your liking. every stove-top cooks differently, so use the time frame given as an estimate.
• 8 remove with spatula.
• 9 plate, and serve with your little piece of toast!
• 10 **you can also top this with shredded cheese, if you want a more savory meal, or drizzle on some honey for something sweeter. use forks or fingers! :).
