Ingredients

1 Egg

1 Slice Bread

1 tablespoon butter

salt

fresh ground pepper

Directions

Butter the slice of bread on both sides. Use a large round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a circle in the middle of the bread.

Heat a well seasoned cast iron frying pan (or non-stick if you don't have cast iron) and place the slice of bread with the hole in it in the pan. Put a teaspoon of butter in the hole. Put Egg in the hole. Salt and pepper.

Cook for 2 minutes and flip egg and bread to cook on the other side until the egg is cooked the way you like it. (my family like then over easy)

In the same pan toast the round you cut out of the bread.

Cookinggood, I'm glad to see this recipe posted. My husband taught me how to make these twenty-five years ago. He called them "One-eyed Sams." It was always a hit at our house. Glad to see the tradition being carried on in your family.

I have made this many times - this is a fave for kids young and old alike - I like making eggs in the nests with rustic italian bread or an herbed bread - great posting you shared!
I am sure it will bring a few people down memory lane -
ps I got a kick from my boyfriend whose not originally from this country, when he tried to tell me the 'something special' his mother did with his eggs, I assured him, mothers from all countries have been making eggs in their nests for some time - he was quite surprised to learn this... lol - my high five to ya!

I always loved this when I was a kid. To this day, I still make eggs like this - sometimes just for me - because it reminds me of my mom and grandma and that makes me smile from inside. Food, family, security, comfort, and love - so interconnected and so sweet. Thanks again, Ferri - I'd give you a 10 if I could...
