Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

I only looked up this recipe because I wasn't sure if I should pre-toast the bread or do it in the pan, as I was craving an old favorite. Not even a huge fan of fried eggs all the time but let me tell you yummm. I added bacon to mine; Bacon and cheese make everything better. And as far as the comments on the oil- are you kidding me? There's no way any pan can fit 6 huge slices of bread with eggs and actually cook properly. Therefore don't put that much oil at once or your one or two or three slices will absorb it. Common sense would say to use it as you go. Try again and you'll love it. Or just use my favorite- BUTTER.

This is a super easy dish to make and very delicious. I used a good french bread and it was very good. Be careful to turn off the burner once you flip it over so you do not overcook the egg though. I have made this dish several times now!
