Oven Baked Eggs in a Brioche Basket​

---

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread (1/2" thick slices)
• 8 large eggs (preferably organic and free range)
• 1/2 cup MOV Butter Olive Oil or any infused olive oil such as Baklouti, lemon, garlic, mushroom sage, add a drop of MOV White Truffle Oil (for a seriously luxurious experience).
• Fresh NHHS Ground Pepper (optional) to taste
• A few pinches of fine Sea Salt (to taste)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 F. and adjust a rack to the middle of the oven.

Line a large rimmed baking with parchment paper. Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet.

Using a pastry brush, liberally coat each slice of bread on both sides with the olive oil of your choice.

Using a cookie cutter, or other round cutter, cut out a hole (approximately 2 1/2" in diameter) in the center of each slice of bread.

Crack an egg into each hole. Season the bread and eggs with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for 10 minutes - or until bread is lightly toasted and eggs are set, but the yolk is still a little runny. For well done eggs with a solid yolk, cook for 12 minutes.

Serves 8
