We also suggest adding a dash of salt and pepper. The secret to crafting a delicious eggs in a basket is making sure that the bread you use is lightly toasted (also make sure to cut out a circle in the toast too), and that you crack the egg directly over the hole in the bread. Total cooking time is only about two to three minutes, so it won’t take long to make—serve the cutouts for dipping too.
