It does appear the link is broken; it should have taken you to " Breaking The Fast " topic where you would have found the recipe below. Some folks call these "one eyed egyptians" but the historical name is "Egg In The Nest"
Recipe Name: EGG IN THE NEST Category: 18TH CENTURY Serves: 1
1 Slice of bread 1 Large egg 2 Slice bacon
Fry the bacon in your skillet. Meanwhile cut or tear out a circle (I use a biscuit cutter) in the center of the bread. When the bacon is done remove it from the pan and place the bread in the pan. Crack the egg into the hole you created in the bread. Place the cut out portion in the pan to toast. Fry egg to your liking, turn over the cut out portion to brown the other side. The egg and bread can either be turned for a few seconds or left as sunny side up. Serve with the bacon.

Heh heh, yeah -- maybe it's also the way it isn't what it appears to be (like, just an egg sitting on bread, how dull. . .) but it actually has the keyhole in it, with the egg sitting down in the middle of the hole. Is there perhaps a different taste and texture, because both the bottom of the bread and the bottom of the egg got crisp in the bacon fat together and kind of blended? I think that would make it nice, actually.
Now a recipie that would make me very happy- I'm missing propper Scots Buttries which I can get for neither love nor money down below the border. Never though to learnt he recipie before I left- anyone got a good one? thanks
