I’d most definitely be vegan if it weren’t for eggs… they’re one of my favorite foods on earth. Scrambled, over-easy, sunny side up, poached… whatever form, I LOVE THEM. Birds in a basket is one of the neatest and cutest ways to serve eggs and I should know, I eat them like this at least once a week.

2 eggs
2 pieces of your favorite bread
Butter for spreading
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium-low. In the meantime using a cookie cutter or anything with a sharp edge, cut the center of each piece of bread out (about 2″ in circumference). Butter both sides of each slice then place in the skillet. Crack each egg, one at a time, then place in each of the holes. Let cook until the whites are almost completely cooked, then flip and cook for less than a minute. Transfer to your plate and enjoy!

Note for making the best birds: YUMMMM. I love eggs and cute things so this is perfect for me. NEAT THING: save your bread cut-outs for toast to eat with the eggs! Although this does look kind of easy, it actually requires a little practice (so if you’re looking to impress someone, I’d suggest trying it a few times before showing them the big guns). Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper (and cover in ketchup if you’re like me) and you’ve got yourself the best breakfast in bed. I can already hear them swooning for you.
