One Eyed Jacks aka Eggs in a Basket

The first time I had this for breakfast was Christmas morning in 1996. I was living in Idaho with my two roommates, David W. and Dave M. We woke up in the morning, exchanged gifts then David W. made us this very delicious breakfast. Whenever I make this meal, I always think of that wonderful Christmas morning with two amazing guys. I have had a craving for this dish for awhile now so I finally made it. It's not only really quick and easy to make but kids think it's really cool.

Being careful not to break the yolk, crack the egg and pour into the hole of the bread. Cook for 1-2 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 45-60 seconds. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy.
