V for Vendetta's "Eggy in a Basket"




If you haven't watched the movie V for Vendetta, well you should. It has been certified fresh on rottentomatoes.com. Twice in that movie Natalie Portman's character had "Eggy in a Basket" made for her. Now I'm a fan of eggs and toast together, its like two small delicious pieces of heaven on your plate. This dish looked like a quick breakfast to make, so I had to try it.

Ingredients:
  • One piece of bread
  • One egg
  • A little bit of butter
First thing you need to do is take a cup or a biscuit cutter if you have one. Really all you need is something round to cut out a circle in the center of the bread.












Butter up one side of the bread kinda of like your making grilled cheese. I prefer to put an obscene amount of butter in to coat the pan. Throw the bread in, let it get nice and toasted before you drop the eggs in. If you like runny eggs flip it earlier if not let it sit. (Lets be honest
this isn't rocket science.)


































Now if you can butter up the other side of the bread. If not just put a pat of butter in the pan after you flip the toast. If you choose this method make sure you lift up the corners of the bread, so the butter gets under there.












Well really that's that. Just toast it to perfection, garnish with some salt and pepper. If your like me hit it with some Franks Red Hot. MMmmm tasty.












Now some people may think I'm crazy, but if you eat eggs regularly get organic. They cost a little more but the taste is exponentially better. I'm not even saying
"Buy organic its better for the chickens."

Screw the chickens, its better for me. Chickens are dumb anyway here's an example.



So all I'm saying is if you like tasty eggs, get organic ones.
