Eggy in a Helmet

Also known as Eggy in a Basket this is a simple fun breakfast!

Ingredients

1 Egg

1Piece of Toast

Butter or Pam

Directions

Using the cookie cutter of your choice (or you can cut out a circle) cut a whole in the middle of the bread.  Butter the skillet and lay down the bread.  Crack the egg right into the middle of the bread, flip, and cook until desired firmness.  I like to toast the center of the bread on the side of the skillet and serve with jelly.  Buon appetito!
