Make something cheap, quick and unusual for brekkie or a snack today. The snow is floating around as if we're characters in a big sno-globe. It is a good day to be cozy. And it is always a good day to eat something warm and savory.
Bird's Nest
- 1 piece of good bread (you decide what is good bread)
- 1 egg
- oil for Cast Iron skillet or griddle
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat your skillet up, add some oil, swish it around until it moves easily and covers bottom of pan. Grab piece of bread, pull out a small (silver dollar sized, for those of you who remember what a silver dollar looks like) chunk of the bread from the center, place bread in oiled pan. Crack your egg carefully, and slowly pour into the empty hole in the middle of bread slice. The idea is you're frying up a piece of bread with an egg simultaneously cooking through said hole in the center. Cook on one side of bread, flip over with a spatula. I like my eggs with the white firmly cooked and the yolk slightly gooey, that way when I cut into it, the bread soaks up the yolk, and it is delicious. Plus, cooking it for that long hopefully reduces the chance of getting some kind of rawish egg scourge. I don't recommend this for scrambled eggs, by the way, as those need to be fully cooked unlike the yolky egg I enjoy in my Bird's Nest.
Bon Appetit, Peoples!
