"Eggs in a Basket"
Pam or grease ramekins or large muffin tins. Butter both sides of a hearty grain bread (or any other kind), sprinkle fresh grated parmesan or other cheese on top, and press into ramekin or muffin tin. Break an egg into each dish. Sprinkle more cheese on top, then a dash of dried basil & dill weed, and bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking. Let cool a minute or two, run knife around edge, and remove. Enjoy!
(You may put bacon, ham, or sauteed veggies on top before baking, for variety)
