2-3 tablespoons olive oil (eyeball it)
1 large clove garlic, cracked or ½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 big, thick slices crusty Italian or French bread
2 large eggs
¼ cup grated cheese (I like Gruyere, but anything will work)
salt and pepper
Place a skillet over low heat. Add the oil and garlic into the skillet and gently infuse the garlic flavour into the oil. In the meantime, carefully remove the center of the bread from each slice. (You can use a cookie cutter or empty soup can to make a neat center.) Add the prepared bread slices to the garlic infused oil. Crack the eggs 1 at a time and drop them into their "nests" (the center of the bread). Season the "birds" in their "nests" with salt and pepper and sprinkle a little cheese into the "nests". Cook for about 5 minutes, or until egg white is cooked through.
