we also made a side dish of sauteed squash, apple, onion, and cinnamon.
"egg in the basket" makes 1
1.heat up 1 tsp of oil or butter (we used olive oil) in a nonstick pan. meanwhile, use a glass/cup to stamp out the center of a slice of bread (we used whole wheat. also, we made pop art-see first photo-but that is not a necessary step).
2.add bread to pan and let cook for a minute or two.
3.crack egg in the center of bread. cook until egg white is opaque white, about 3-5 minutes.
butternut and apple sauteserves 2-3 (this recipe isn't perfected yet, but we like the idea of it)
*1 and 1/2 cups chopped butternut squash (we used frozen from whole foods)
*1 granny smith apple, diced
*1/2 a yellow onion, chopped or sliced
*cinnamon, salt, and pepper, to taste
*1 tsp-1 tbsp olive oil
heat oil in pan. add squash and saute until soft, adding onion about halfway through. when squash and onion are both cooked, add apple and saute for 2 more minutes. add spices to taste.

i first saw an egg in a basket in the movie v for vendetta. i wanted a mysterious and refined masked man to make me an egg in a basket with stolen royal butter! unfortunately i had to make one for myself but it was so worth it. what a fun breakfast food. by the way if you haven't seen that movie, you should! i loved it so much that i named my cat Evie after Natalie Portman's character. :)
Very impressive, and Modern Art too!
I love this!

Love both of these. Eggs in a basket (I called it "in a hole" growing up) is a definite comfort food.
Hi Twins, I predict you two will write a cookbook together someday, or some other kind of food-related book. I think it's just a matter of time. :)

P.S. Oh, and it will ssll a zillion copies. Some things are inevitable.
thanks everyone! you guys are so nice =)
ordinary vegetarian-i love that movie! (and i remember that part even though my sister doesn't)
Jen-i actually thought it was called "toad in a hole", so i looked it up on wikipedia, where it was listed under "eggs in a basket". apparently there are a million different names for it though.
What a fun way to eat an egg & toast!
Apples and butternut squash make a lovely pair... especially this time of year.
I love free samples! A lovely dish, esp to usher in the fall season.
OMG- that was what my Dad used to make me and he called it "Egg in the Hole" YUMMMMMMM! So glad I found your blog. Love your "about" section :-D
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!
I have never attempted to make this dish, but I must soon--it looks divine!
Ahhh, your basket egg is so much prettier than mine. My attempts are 95% FAIL!
