Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Thick slices of dairy-free bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Using a round cookie cutter or the top of a small glass, cut a hole in the center of each bread slice. Save the cut-out circles for toasting.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place one slice of bread and its cut-out circle into the skillet.
Crack one egg carefully into the hole in the bread.
Season with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the egg is just starting to set.
Gently flip the bread and the cut-out circle with a spatula to cook the other side, about 2 minutes more, until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the second piece of bread and the remaining olive oil.
Serve the Dairy-Free Egg in a Basket hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives.
