Eat In. Eggy in a basket.

Made famous by the Wachowski duo's 2005 "V for Vendetta," the "eggy in a basket" is a simple breakfast that takes the class toast, egg combo and makes them one.

The recipe is almost too easy, but is a kind of fun alternative to a fried egg on toast.

What you'll need:

One egg for every piece of bread.

Butter

Salt and pepper to taste

What to do:

1. Using a glass, cut a hole in the center of a piece of bread.

2. Drop the bread onto a skillet that has been warmed with a little bit of butter.

3. Quickly crack an egg, and drop into the hole of the bread.

4. I would put the fire on medium heat to not burn the bread.

5. When the egg white is no longer translucent but white and seemingly solid, flip the bread; do this until you're sure the egg in the center is cooked.

This recipe always bothered me because it seems to waste the the circle of bread you cut out earlier, but you can always toast it in your buttered skillet and eat it along with your eggy.

Eat In. Chilaquiles.

Basically the breakfast version of nachos, this is a great meal for a morning after drinking or just a tasty brunch in, really. This was one of the first Mexican meals I learned to cook, and it's incredibly simple, and it can be made in a healthy way, or with plenty of cheesy, greasy goodness.

Here's the healthy version:

-- 1 pack of corn tortillas
-- 2-3 eggs
-- Salsa Pato OR Trader Joe's soy chorizo (really tasty) OR regular chorizo
-- Sour cream or crema fresca
-- Canola oil
-- salt to taste

First, tear about five corn tortillas into triangles. The smaller the more quickly they will fry into chips. Add very, very little canola oil to a pan (NOTE: Olive oil will not work here -- for sure, I've tried it). Next heat the oil in the pan until hot, but not bubbling otherwise you might hurt yourself.

Drop tortilla triangles into the hot oil, flipping when they are just a little crunchy on one side. After all triangles have been flipped, crack three eggs over the pan and scramble. Quickly add chorizo/salsa mixing into the tortilla-egg combination. When the eggs are cooked, you're in business -- turn off the heat.

Mozzarella and cheddar works well on top of this as does a good dollop of sour cream on the side to dip the chips in.

All these things need to be done quickly to make sure the chips don't burn, but this definitely is good meal to start out a long day or is a good after a long night out.
