Before I left for vacation I made a huge loaf of bread in the bread machine to make sandwiches for the road and to have the left over bread for toast.  Toward the end of our stay, we had several things left in the refrigerator I needed to use up.  So, I whipped up one of Mr. Bee’s childhood favorites — One-Eyed Pirates.
 
 

These are super simple to make.  Butter each slice of bread then cut a hole in the center of each piece of bread using a steak knife.  If you want to be precise you could use a cookie cutter.  Take the center out of each slice and put all the pieces of bread in the skillet, butter side down to toast.

After the slices of bread are brown and crispy (I’m in the mountains so everything cooks slower), crack an egg into each center.  Cook the eggs until they are done to your liking. I needed to use up some cheese we had in the refrigerator, so I added sliced white cheddar cheese on top of each egg, but you can leave the cheese off if you want.  Sprinkle some cracked, black pepper.

While the eggs were cooking I tossed in pre-cooked bacon to warm and crisp up.  I also broiled some sliced tomatoes sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Everything came out looking like this.
