Whenever we stayed over at our grandma's house she would always take requests for breakfast. Bulleyes were one of her specialties. Although I still can't make them quite like she does, I will make them for the kids to break up our morning breakfast routine - and for some reason, a little boy that lives here seems more willing to try food if it has a "shock factor" name attached to it.
Here's how we make our "bullseyes":
[The kids help with the prep work, I do the cooking]
Cut a circle out of a piece of bread (we normally use a small cup). Remove the circle you just cut out and place in toaster (or eat as a snack while you're waiting - this is what my kids normally do).
Melt some butter in a pan - use some of it to butter both sides of the hole-y bread, and the rest to prevent burning, then place bread in pan. Crack an egg in each hole. Flip once and cook until the eggs reach desired done-ness.
Serve with your mini toasted bullseyes
And enjoy!
Do you make these in your household? Do you call them a different name?

Ours are called eggs in a basket. I fry the little cut out in butter and s/p right along with the big piece of bread and eggs…it's my favorite part! 🙂

These look really cute and I do think that children will eat more things if they are presented in fun ways. Neither of mine eat eggs so I will have to try this.
