An egg in the basket, or egg/eggs in a basket, is a fried egg cooked within the confines of a piece of (often buttered) toast, the center of which has been removed. The removed center can be fried and enjoyed as well. The dish is known by many names, including Rocky Mountain eggs and Rocky Mountain toast.
Preparation typically begins by cutting a circular hole in the center of a piece of bread with a cookie cutter or upside down glass. The bread is then fried in a pan with butter, margarine or cooking oil if the bread itself is not buttered. When browned satisfactorily, the egg is cracked into the "basket" cut into the toast. The egg is then fried to the desired consistency (it can also be flipped several times and fried on both sides). When eaten, the bread and egg yolk mix readily, giving this egg dish its special quality. It is commonly served with ketchup, jam, maple syrup (with a side of sausage & fruit), or cheese.

Does anyone else agree? I think it's an easy to make breakfast that tastes awesome.
I made my first one ever last night but fucked up on the flipping part a bit, so it was a little messier than normal. I know what I'm having for breakfast today.
