When my band mates are over for breakfast, they always ask me to make my famous garlicky eggs in a basket. The eggs are perfectly cooked in the center of a soft cloud of dough with a beautifully crisp exterior. You'll love these!
You can cook these in butter or cooking oil, but I served these up with bacon and sausages so I used their rendered fat.

Yum this looks really good. I'll have to make this. I have all the ingredients :)
Yes, that sure does look tasty. I've made the "eggs in a basket" with only regular slices of bread, and no garlic. This is a nice
Just something silly I was going to say that when my husband first told me about cooking eggs this way, one day, I couldn't remember the name of them to save the world, so I named them something different, so forever now, I call them "chicken in the coop" hahaha
My mom always called them "egg in hole" so that is what I call it now. I love "chicken in the coop"!
Aw! Chicken in the coop is too cute!
Looks and sounds yummy. Personally, I leave off the garlic slices as Im not a big garlic fan. But Im definitely going to give these a try!
So happy you'll all give this a go :) It's so easy but comes off kinda fancy ;)
I take the bread from the center and fry it in the grease/butter. Delicious!
My husband does that! Little clouds :)
I love all these neat names - I'll have to start a list.
Oh - the recipe sounds delicious!
I like the french bread idea with bacon or sausage...
I'd love another female in the band! Wait, you just want my cooking services!!! ;)
YES!! But I feel sure being able to share the atmosphere in your home would be worth at least one trip!
But since I feel sure that I am tone deaf, I'll have to forego joining the band.
You qualify as someone who can get fed at my house without any musical services, so please come and join us!
It would be a pleasure I would sorely like to do but at 84 my
travel distances tend to be very short so I will just have to keep "visiting" you on ThriftyFun, but that is always a delight.
It's always a delight for me, as well :) I wish they'd have invented teleportation by now, you'd have all my food in a jiffy.
we call them bird in the nest
We make this with various breads, but we don't hollow out the center. Instead, we press down in the center to make a to make a well. We then put in a little grated cheese first, and then break an egg on top of that. We might also put some crumpled pre-cooked bacon pieces in (or crumpled sausage). Then we fry it in a pan (or air fryer) just as you described.
