Egg In A Basket

I’ll have to admit that Gerald taught me this recipe. Lol. After we had married Gerald loved cooking and my mom had never made these “Egg in a Basket” or “Egg in a hole” as some call them. There are so many different names for them.

But, they are simple and sometimes we will even have these for supper, so this isn’t just a breakfast idea. I love that this recipe only requires a couple items that most people have on a hand and they are cheap to make. So, I hope that ya’ll enjoy Gerald’s recipe!
