Egg in Bed

Makes 4

What to find:

15g soft butter

Olive oil

4-5 slices thin slices wholemeal bread*

Four small eggs

Freshly ground pepper

Kitchen Stuff:

Muffin tray

Rounded ended knife

Pastry cutter

Small bowl

What to do:

Put the oven on 400F, 200C, 180C Fan, Gas 6

1. Grease four muffin tins with a little butter and then drizzle a little olive oil into each tin.
2. Thinly spread the bread with butter and line the muffin tins with the bread. You can use a small circular cutter to line the base (or cutting around an egg cup works too).Cut strips with the remaining bread and use this to fill in the sides.
3. Crack an egg into a small bowl – you might need to practice, as we want a whole egg not a broken one.
4. Carefully drop the egg into your bread lined muffin tin and grind a little black pepper over the top.
5. Bake in a hot oven until the egg has just set (about 6- 8 minutes). Ask a grown up to check after 4 minutes, unless you like hard boiled eggs.
6. Run the knife around the edge of the muffin tray and do some acrobatics – turn the egg on to a plate!

An adult may need to do step 6 for younger children

Always have a grown up in the kitchen with you, when you cook.

* Seeded bread is good too.
