  1. Whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl.

  2. Cut 2-inch holes out of the center of each bread slice, reserving the cut-outs.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. Dip bread into the whisked eggs, covering completely on both sides. Place each piece of dipped bread, 1 at a time, into the hot skillet, immediately crack an egg into the hole of the bread. Cook until egg is over-easy, about 1 minute per side.

  5. Dip the bread cut-outs into the remaining whisked eggs and cook in the hot skillet until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Place the centers back into the center of each piece of bread to complete the top of the \"basket\".

Recipe Note

This recipe may sound weird to some people, but no matter who I make it for, they love it! Oh and it is a great time saver. It only takes 3 ingredients! Traditional eggs in a basket get an added touch by making French toast with the bread first, a quick and easy breakfast with extra protein.
