All of my family’s favorite breakfast recipes involve eggs. My husband is partial to eggs benedict, I enjoy breakfast quiche, and our daughter loves eggs in a basket.
If you’re unfamiliar with the breakfast term “eggs in a basket”, it refers to a piece of toast with the middle cut out and an egg cooked inside. The preparation is super easy and can be dressed up in a variety of ways. One of my daughter’s favorites is Southwestern Eggs in a Basket with salsa and avocado. Here’s the quick and easy recipe:
Southwestern Eggs In A Basket Recipe
Southwestern Eggs in a Basket Ingredients:
- 2 Eggland’s Best Eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon butter
How to Make Southwest Eggs in a Basket:
1. Heat butter in non-stick skillet on medium-high.
2. Cut a hole out of the whole wheat bread. You can use a cookie cutter or a small cup.
3. Put the bread slices in the pan and crack an egg into each cut-out portion.
4. Reduce to medium heat and cover for 5 mins. This will leave the egg a bit runny. If you like it cooked a little more, flip the bread slices over and cover for an additional 2 mins.
5. Add salsa and avocado slices.
