Eggs in a Basket Recipe
I am a lover of breakfast food. In fact, I love breakfast food so much that I could eat it literally for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast for dinner is one of family favorites. I am especially fond of cracker barrel eggs in a basket recipe. Eggs are a huge part of my diet. After losing 160 in the past three years, eggs quickly became my go-to food for the protein and vitamin benefits.
We always have hard boiled eggs in our refrigerator. We also go through about 24 eggs each week in this household because we are always finding new recipes. We took my all time favorite egg dish, Eggs in a Basket, made it healthier and just plain better by using Handsome Brook Farm Organic, Pasture Raised Eggs. We hope that you love this Eggs in a Basket Recipe.

Eggs in a Basket Recipe
Ingredients
- Handsome Brook Farm Organic, Pasture Raised Eggs
- Ezekiel or other sprouted grain bread
- butter
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- round cookie cutter
- cast iron skillet
Directions
-
- Gather all of your ingredients and cooking utensils. Using a circle cookie cutter (or a butter knife or a juice glass), cut a hole in each piece of bread.
- Heat your cast iron skillet and add a pat of butter to grease it so that your food doesn't stick.
- Put your bread in the pan (we cook two pieces at once) and add half a pat of butter to the middle of each hole.
- Once the butter is very hot, crack your Organic and Pasture Raised Eggs from Handsome Brook Farm into each hole. Use your spatula to move the eggs and bread around to ensure they don't stick.
- When your egg is set, carefully flip over the bread/egg over being extremely careful to not break the yolk. Add the round holes that you cut into your pan to toast for dipping the yolk.
- Salt and pepper as desired. Serve with fruit.
This simple recipe is made with my favorite bread in an updated twist on an old favorite. I skip the bacon, add fruit and I have the perfect breakfast. Or lunch or dinner. We hope that you are inspired by this Ezekiel Bread Eggs in a Basket Recipe. Happy cooking!
About Handsome Brook Farm
Handsome Brook Farm takes a modern approach to traditional farming methods. They have built their own unique supply network of small, organic family farms that offers everyone— from hens to farmers and consumers—a good deal. HBF hens live 400 to an acre (farmers acres of organic rotated pasture solely to their birds), get frequent health checkups, have special nesting areas spend their days soaking up the sun (gotta get that Vitamin D) and they produce these delicious, Organic and Pasture Raised Eggs.
We also call these toad in a hole. Use to be our kids favorite way to eat eggs. I use to fry up the bread we cut out of the center. So good brings back memories.
I just bought 2 packs of these eggs today! I got them at Sprouts. I’ve never had them but I thought they sounded natural, so I’d give them a try!
This is such a classic recipe. My kids love it because they love a runny yolk. Gonna make these this weekend. YUM.
This looks like a neat recipe! Although I am thinking my daughter would prefer to make this with a scrambled egg, since we tried eggs over easy (if I have that right, where you don’t break the egg). Sounds like the best of both worlds!
This looks really good. I will try this next time I cook eggs. I’m lucky because I get my eggs from my cousin who has free range chickens.
This is such a good breakfast recipe. My family loves eggs so much and by having this kind of delicious meal in the morning makes their day a good day!
I love that you call it Egg’s in a basket! We call it Egg In a Hole! My kids love this!
I love this! I should do this tomorrow for breakfast!
I have never made eggs in a basket for the kids. I am going to use this recipe and make them breakfast. Yum!
I’ve made something similar before. Yours turned out better than mine did! A great, quick breakfast idea.
This looks really good. I need to give it a try. I love that this will be something different for my family for breakfast. I can’t wait to give it a try.
I need to pick up some organic eggs, namely Brook Farm, if available. This looks like a great breakfast idea!
This is one of the first things I ever learned to make. I am going to have to teach my kids this recipe.
Now this sounds like an awesome idea! I would love to give this a go! Great way to keep off the day!
We call that eggs in a blanket. I do buy organic eggs or get them from farms. They are the best.
My husband is amazing in the kitchen. I should really try to get him to make this for me. Looks and sounds amazing.
These eggs in a basket look delicious. I remember eating these when I was young. I had forgotten them until now
I’ve never made this before (or tried it, even). Looks fun and yummy to make with my kids.
I forgot all about making eggs in a basket. My daughter used to do it ever weekend. We are definitely going to have to revisit making them with Handsome Brook Farm Eggs.
I would love to try this! Looks like a great breakfast idea!
I’ve been looking for more egg recipes as I’ve been trying to make healthier breakfasts for my family. I love this recipe and make it for my family oftentimes!
That would be great for breakfast tomorrow! Healthy and delicious! I always choose organic when I buy eggs. It just makes me feel good thinking the eggs I serve my family are of better quality.
This is one of our favorite breakfasts. My kids think that it is so fun that the egg is inside the bread!
I want to try making this for breakfast tomorrow. However, I would want my eggs well done. I’d just leave them in the pan for a longer time until I am sure the yolks are no longer runny. Or maybe I can scramble the eggs first. That’s what I’ll do!
My husband loves eggs in a basket! Actually, it’s his favorite breakfast! I will have to try it with these eggs next time I make it for him 🙂
My son loves when I make him this. I use a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter and have the egg cook in it. Fun to eat and they like to dip the bread in the egg!
I love simple recipes like this that’s so fun to make and it’s even more fun to eat! I think it’s also going to be a hit with the kids!
My husband makes these too and calls them birds nests. My kids love them for dinner!
This is something I remember being made when I was a child. I will have to bring back this favorite for my kids!
This is my kids’ favorite way to eat eggs! I love that big change is on the horizon! We can be responsible and profitable.
I have been wanting to make eggs in a basket for my kids for a while and keep forgetting to try it! Thanks for reminding me with this recipe!
I actually have always wanted to make toast this way. I am inspired I am going to have my toast and egg combo in the near future for breakfast!
I’ve never considered making eggs like this. I’m always looking for a good breakfast recipe. I’ll have to give this a try.
My mom used to make these for my daughter all the time when she used to stay there. I think they are a fun way to enjoy breakfast.
I love eggs this way. Great weekend treat
i put a little cheese around the sides of the toast. such a fun recipe.
This looks really good! Such an amazing day starter!
I am a big fan of eggs and have friends who homegrown them. This looks delicious.
I’ve never heard of this brand of eggs before. Maybe it’s not carried in my local grocery stores yet. Eggs in a basket sound and look yummy!
