Baked Eggs and Toast

Its November and the weather has turned.  Its nice and chilly early morning but the afternoons are still warm.  Living on the 9th floor we have turned off the fans and are enjoying the fresh chilled early morning air.  My windows are open through the day and night.

The outcome of all this left me with a miserable cold and cough.  A week of not being able to taste anything I eat :( and this morning I had this craving for egss and toast.  Normally my breakfast is just a fruit smoothie so this was a nice change.



Take 2 slices of bread.  Butter one slice on one side only.  
Place if butter side down on your grill rack.
Using a cookie cutter, cut a round in the other bread piece.


Butter one side and place it over the first slice, butter side up
Break an egg in the center of the bread filling the hole


Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Sprinkle with chives and chilli flakes.
Bake in a preheated 180C oven for 10 mins till white set and yolk still soft.

I used the cutout round and topped it off with some cheese.

Enjoy.
