This easy and delicious egg dish features eggs on top of creamy mashed potatoes and is served with buttery toasted breadsticks for dipping.

Ingredients

• 4 large pasteurized eggs
• 2 servings of instant mashed potatoes prepared according to the instructions on the package
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• chopped fresh chives

Method

• Prepare the instant mashed potatoes according to the instructions on the package and let them cool slightly.
• In a lidded pot large enough to hold 4 glasses, bring enough water to a boil to come about 2/3 up the sides of the glasses.
• Meanwhile, prepare the bread slices by melting about 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices and fry them in butter until golden.
• Add one tablespoon of butter to the pan and turn the slices of bread to brown the other side as well. Turn off the heat under the pan and let it sit until the eggs are done.
• Divide the eggs into four mason jars, filling about ⅔ full.
• Put a small piece of butter on the potatoes and use a spoon to make a small hole. Crack the egg on top so that the yolk is in the center of the well.
• Carefully place the jars into the boiling water, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid. Cook gently for 5 to 5 1/2 minutes or until egg whites are set.
• Carefully remove the glasses from the water. Season them with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. Serve immediately with slices of butter and toast.
