Eggs in a Basket

I ADORE breakfast!  
Today I want to share our Easter breakfast with you...


 Eggs in a Basket was a family favorite for my siblings and me growing up!  And really, nothing says Easter like fresh eggs although this is a tasty breakfast we enjoy all year long!  I do not always enjoy eating eggs for breakfast, but this meal is yummy!

It may look complicated, but it's actually one of the easiest breakfast meals you can make.  But go ahead and pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you've created a feast!  (That's what I do!)

 
 To begin, you are going to make a simple crouton crust.  Mix one 6-oz box of seasoned croutons with 1 c. of warm water.  Mix until nicely moistened.

 After greasing a 12-inch pizza pan, press the crouton crust evenly in the pan.  It won't quite fill the pan, but that's okay.


Now break 6 eggs in a somewhat uniform position on top of the crouton crust.  Season with salt and pepper.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until eggs are set.
 Top with cheese and continue baking until the cheese is melted.

 (Okay, we may have gone just a little crazy with the cheese this time around!)
Cut like a pizza, and enjoy!
You can download a printable copy of the recipe here.
 Trust me--this is a recipe your family is sure to enjoy.
What a great way to start the day!


PS Don't forget--today is the last day to enter Very Jane's Pottery Barn gift card giveaway.  Good luck!

  6. I am not a huge fan of sunny-side eggs...think it would work if I scrambled the eggs and then poured them on top?
