Southwestern Eggs In A Basket Recipe – Enjoy this delicious version of Eggs in Basket with avocado and salsa. Perfect for breakfast or brunch. This post is brought to you by Eggland’s Best. All opinions are my own.

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:

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.

We have bought a lot of eggs over the years, but the brand we really love is Eggland’s Best.

Compared to ordinary eggs, Eggland’s Best eggs contain five times more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E, and three times more vitamin B12.  Eggland’s Best’s superior nutrition is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.

Also, independent testing has revealed that Eggland’s Best eggs have stronger shells than ordinary eggs, which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs. They are also insanely yummy!

    I just love Chocolate egg custard, it’s a delightful dessert! After a heavy meal, I like a custard , very soothing.

    That is a hard one, because I love eggs in almost any form. I really love baked eggs, my great grandpa’s recipe.

    My favorite egg dish is an egg casserole with bacon, red and green peppers, onions, milk and lots of cheese! So yummy!

    I like a good frittata (bacon, mushrooms, asparagus, caramelized onions, and mozzarella cheese), but scrambled eggs are always a good, quick meal.

    I haven’t had this in a very long time but I like a sandwich with toast boiled eggs and bacon strips. I slice it diagonally and go to town on it. It is awesome.

    My favorite would be quiche – so delicious. And I love how it can act as an excuse to “clean out” the fridge – random vegs, all those stray small blocks of various cheeses…

    I don’t think I’ve ever had an egg dish I didn’t like! My favorite is one egg over easy on top of a pile of home fries with crumbled bacon and chopped chives on top! Oh, and rye toast on the side. 😉
