Eggs in a Basket

This is a fun breakfast for kids, but hearty enough for big kids, too.

4 slices of bread (use wide pan bread if available)
butter
4-8 eggs
Cheese slices (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste.

Use a non-stick griddle. Spray with cooking spray. Butter both sides of each piece of bread. Using a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or a cup, punch out the center of the bread. Put the bread and the inside circle on the griddle. Crack eggs, and put one or two in the middle of each side of the bread (depending on the size of the hole you cut). Flip the bread circles. Let the eggs cook and set, then flip the egg basket. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and top with the cheese, and let the eggs finish cooking. Top with the toasted bread circle and serve.
