Birds Nest for Breakfast


A family favorite at This Old House.


* Butter a large frying pan
* cut holes out of middle of slices of bread
* Dredge holey bread, both sides, in melted butter and place in pan
* crack egg over each hole
* Fry to your desired "done-ness".


That's what we call a Birds Nest for Breakfast :-)

  1. Delicious I agree. Even more delicious when the eggs are top notch quality like your fresh eggs are.

  10. I used to make these for the kids but haven't made them in years. I will have to do these for the grandkids. I used to use a heart shaped cookie cutter and it was so cute. xo Diana

  12. My oldest son took home ec and this was the first thing he ever made! They called it Eggs in a Frame! Wonder if he ever makes it, now? He's a fantastic cook!

  13. When I was cooking at a Bistro, I would use a cookie cutter shaped like a bird for these. I'd fry up the little birdy and it would stick up in the egg when I served it.

  14. My 12 yr. old granddaughter makes these all the time---but not for ME! They look really good and she loves them! I do get my fresh farm eggs from them, so I guess I'll have to make them myself!
