Who doesn’t love going out for Breakfast? The Cracker Barrel was a new find for me. This classic we have all enjoyed while growing up has been reinvented by the Cracker Barrel by the use of sourdough bread. If you havenít tried this, trust me, you should.

This wonderful breakfast item is simple elegance at its best: grilled sourdough bread with an egg cooked gently inside this toasted delight. Why had this menu item been one I had avoided for so long? The Cracker Barrel will serve this recipe up with some of their famous fried apples, or even their hash brown casserole, you get to choose. When I was growing up, my mother made many of these Eggs in a Basket for breakfast, but we never used sourdough bread for these. Don’t miss out on this one.

Cracker Barrel Eggs in the Basket

Yield: 1 Egg in the Basket
1 slice sour dough bread
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
1 egg
salt and pepper

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Use one small biscuit cutter or a small juice jar to press into the sourdough bread. Twist slightly so the bread “cuts” and you can remove the cut out circle. Spread the margarine or butter on both sides of the bread and place the bread into the pan. Place the cracked egg into the hole. When the bread is toasted on the bottom side (it takes about a minute), flip the bread over and allow to toast on the other side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Egg in a Basket are easy to make, and they make a great breakfast, now, if you don’t live near a Cracker Barrel you can still have a breakfast that tastes just like their does. CopyKat will show you how to make recipes that taste just like restaurant recipes.
