My Favorite Egg Recipe: Egg in a Nest

May 18, 2015 By Gwen Brown 15 Comments

This egg recipe is such a treat! Egg in a nest is a recipe that I discovered years ago as a young bride, and my man and I both fell in love with the crunchy, buttery bread with the just right dippy egg nestled inside. But [bctt tweet=”Since I’ve been watching my carbs, bread has…
