Steps:
- Cut a circle in the middle of a piece of bread.
- If you don't have a round cookie cutter, the top of a glass will work.
- Heat a skillet or griddle sprayed with Pam or Mazola.
- Place the bread in the pan.
- Put about 1/2 t butter in the hole in the bread.
- Heat the butter until very hot.
- Crack an egg in the hole.
- Use a spatula to move the white around so it gets done.
- When the egg is fairly well set, turn the bread and egg over to cook the other side, being careful not to break the yolk.
- In the meantime, toast the holes from the bread for dipping in the yolk.
- Oh, and salt and pepper as desired.
- I guess you could toast the bread before you put it in the pan, but I've never tried it that way.

Steps:
- Special equipment: jumbo sized 6-cup muffin tin
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push chunks of the potato through the chute to grate. Once all the potatoes are grated, put them into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spray the muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the muffin cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and a thin layer and covers the bottom. Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl toss together the prosciutto with maple syrup and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese and put the maple prosciutto on another sheet tray. Broil both until cheese melts, and prosciutto crisps slightly, about 1 minute.
- Top the eggs with crispy prosciutto and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brush the muffin cups with butter and line each with 1 wonton square. Brush the squares with more butter and place the second wonton on top of the first at an angle so that all of the points show. Divide the prosciutto among 6 of the muffin cups. Break 1 egg into each muffin cup. Top the 6 with the prosciutto with the Parmesan and, using 2 slices of red pepper each, form an "X" on top of each egg.
- Top the other 6 eggs with the brie and form an "X" on the top of those with the tarragon leaves. Sprinkle all with a little salt and pepper and place in the bottom half of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg white is firm but yolk still liquid. Remove from the oven and let sit 5 minutes before carefully removing the baskets from the tin. Arrange on a decorative platter and serve immediately.

EGGS IN A BASKET
I learned this recipe while I was taking a home economics class in high school (a long time ago). I have prepared these 'eggs in a basket' for my children for Easter fun when they were small. They are all grown up now and they still insist on the 'eggs in a basket' each and every Easter. My hubby really likes them too.
