Birds in a Nest (egg dish) Rachael Ray
I recently saw this one on Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals show and it is very good.
The only difference I did when I made it was use butter (instead of the olive oil and I
omitted the garlic).
I think this recipe could be adjusted to suit anyone's preferences
Submitted by: Margie
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
1 large clove garlic, cracked
6 big, thick slices crusty Italian semolina bread
6 extra large eggs
1 (6-ounce) jar roasted red pepper
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated cheese, Parmesan or Romano
Place a very large nonstick skillet over low heat.
Add the oil and garlic clove into the skillet and gently infuse the garlic flavor
into the oil.
In the meantime, using a round cookie cutter or an empty can,
cut out the center of all 6 slices of bread.
Add the prepared bread slices to the garlic infused oil.
Crack the eggs 1 at a time and drop them into their "nests" or, the center
of each slice of bread.
Drain and slice red pepper. Add a strip or 2 of red pepper to each nest.
Season the birds in their nests with salt and pepper and sprinkle a little cheese
into each nest.
Gently turn the birds in their nests and turn off the heat.
Let the eggs sit in their nests 5 minutes more, then transfer to a platter and serve.
