12th June 2010 - Breakfast - Eggie in a Basket!

What?

I watched V for Vendetta yesterday and obviously, the brilliant looking egg and bread thing that V makes Evey for breakfast and which is later made and described as Eggie in the Basket by Gordon Deitrich (Stephen Fry) caught my attention. It looked very interesting, and I just had to make it. This was the first attempt, and I sort of screwed the first one, but the next two were pretty satisfactory.

How did it look?

A posteriori?

• The bread I had was a bit small, so when I cut a smaller hole, the egg spilled all over. For these two, I cut a large hole, but you can see that most of the bread is removed in this case.
• In one case (the left one), I broke the yolk after filling it in the hole, so I got a uniform yellow colour and the yolk was well cooked. This is for those who like full-fried eggs. For the second bread, I did not break the yolk and in this case, you still have liquid yolk in the middle when you eat the thing, so this suits the half-fry fans. Normally, you dip the cutout bread in the yolk and eat it
• I had this along with some peach yoghurt and fresh fruit. Happy Breakfast!
