Go Brinner! Breakfast Egg Nests

Brinner is Breakfast for Dinner. It is a brilliant cure for anything, absolutely anything, that ails you. I found the recipe for Breakfast Egg Nests in Vegetarian Times Magazine, and I've been playing with this recipe depending on what's in the house. It takes 20 minutes and it's incredibly good, warm, and simple. The ones we made Sunday came out of the ramekins perfectly and were made with wheat bread, so they had a lovely brown nest. Those pictured below (tonight's) while actually more delicious, were made with When Pigs Fly sourdough bread, which did not flatten well. I would recommend using sliced bread in the future.

• Small ramekins (Ceramic white pots- usually about a buck)
• Butter or spray
• eggs
• bread
• anything else, including but not limited to: cheese, veggies, salsa, fresh herbs, leftover dips

Grease each ramekin. Decrust a slice of bread for each ramekin you're using and roll it out flat with a rolling pin. This is very fun. Stuff the bread into the ramekin and fill it with a variety of toppings, then crack in the egg. Top with more stuff if you wish. On Sunday, Jonah made his huevos rancheros style, with a layer of guacamole and salsa and cheese. I put leftover spinach yogurt feta dip from the party in the bottom of my egg nest.

Really, folks, the possibilities are endless.
