Eggy in a Basket ROCKS!

Well, I said i'd go back and make myself an Eggy in a Basket breakfast, and so I did. and boy was it gooooood. buttery, crisp bread surrounding a delicious fried-in-butter egg: so simple, but so, so, so good. this is a fanstastic way to use up old, going-stale bread, even better than toasting, because the butter prevents it from becoming dry. This is so good, it might even over take pancakes as my breakfast-craving number 1.
but maybe not. but that's really not the point.

the point is, well, that this is such a decadently delicious, easy-peasy thing to throw together, that everyone should try it.
Ingredients:
Egg: 1
Slice of bread: 1
Butter
Serves one.
First, take out a slice of bread and place in on a flat, dry surface—i used the plate i was going to put my toast on, so i wouldn't have to wash another thing.
Then, take a drinking glass and cut a hole in the middle of the bread, making sure the glass is the right size to give you a border of bread around the hole.
Next, melt some butter in a small pan, spreading it out. when the butter starts to foam, place the bread into the pan, pressing down slightly with the spatula. Flip and repeat until the bread looks a little crisp/toasty.
Add a little butter into the hole, let it melt, then crack the egg into the hole. let the egg fry, making sure the fire is not so big that it burns the bread. if some egg white seeps out of the hole, cut it away with the spatula.
When the egg looks rather set flip the eggy over.

After the first flip: the bread isn't very toasty yet

Don't do this too early or the whole thing might wobble/slip all over the bread, and whilst it will still taste good, it won't look like an eggy in a basket.

If the pan looks too dry, add some butter and move the eggy around in the butter. when the egg is done to your preference—some like the yolk hard and cooked through, but i like it runny—and the bread is nice and brown and toasty, remove to a plate and eat. YUM. my favourite part.

Almost out of the pan: nice, brown toasty bread
