Recipe Introduction

I have been making these for picky kids, since I was a teenager. This recipe goes by many different names. I call them Mexican Hats, because that is what they look like on the plate.

List of Ingredients

1 slice of bread
1 egg
1 tbsp. butter
salt and pepper

Butter both sides of the bread with butter. With a small mouthed glass, make a hole in the middle of the bread, this will also create the hat (circle of bread). Place a small amount of butter in the pan and heat. Carefully, put an egg in the center of the bread and toast both sides of the hat. When first side is cooked, lift from pan with egg flipper and add a small amount of butter. Flip the egg and bread over and cook the other side. When putting on the plate, top with the hat.

Tips to Ponder

Another variation is to scramble the eggs with a bit of milk, then put in the hole.

...or add a bit of grated cheese to the egg.
