Oh well, so there you go... A flooded nest egg... Flooded with maple syrup. Enjoy!

Take one slice of bread (I used a slice from our Milk and Honey White Bread loaf - it is incredible). Butter bread on both sides (yes this means you will get your hand dirty if you do it right). Lay bread on cutting board and cut out a circle using a cookie cutter or a glass, apparently you can just tear out a circle too. Using a glass or tall cookie cutter you can avoid sticking your finger in the butter, as you can I did a really good job there.
In a medium skillet over medium heat place bread in pan.
Allow one side to cook, once golden brown flip bread.
Immediately crack egg into the egg center, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with lid or dome with a heat safe bowl. I used a griddle instead of a skillet, so I used a bowl to dome the nest egg.
Allow to cook until the white is set and the yolk is runny. Be careful of your cooking temperature, too high a temperature and the bread will burn before the egg cooks, and too low a temperature the exact opposite.
Serve immediately with maple syrup if desired.
So, you are probably asking yourself what I ate. I don't like runny eggs and this was breakfast. I made a slight modification. I scrambled up my egg before pouring it in the bread. Once it was mostly set, I flipped it back over and let it finish cooking. Wah la!! Scrambled Nest Egg! Oh and no maple syrup for me. I forgot to shoot the Scrambled Nest Egg, but you get the idea. I served this dish with a side of turkey sausage for extra protein.
Fantastic and filling!!!
