Answers:
Bird in a basket, thats what I call them. I make them all the time and they are real easy. I use a griddle or in a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet is great because it heats evenly and toasts the bread better than in a Teflon pan, looks better too.

First put your bread on the counter and use the edges of an upside down drinking glass to cut out holes in the bread.
Put some butter in the skillet and turn the heat on med high. Put bread in skillet and let it toast a bit, make sure not to leave it in too long because the egg still needs to cook.

Once your bread has toasted for a few minutes turn heat to Medium and crack an egg into the center. Then cook it just like you are cooking a regular fried egg. One side then the next, very easy. Salt and pepper to taste.

If you want to make it like V, you have to use allot of butter and toast the bread on both sides before you put the egg in it. To get the color of the one served in V, it is more like you are frying the bread, thats how you get the color and crispiness, but is allot of butter.

Yeah I saw that and thought it looked good also. It is still good with out allot of butter and is healthier.
Yumm

I honestly don't know... but I would try toasting the bread first then putting the egg over it and lowering the heat, you could cover it to make it cook better... :)

I don't know if it is the same as the egg in a basket my mom made for me, but basically , butter the bread both sides,cut a hole in the slice put it in the frying pan, crack an egg in the whole. Cook it.
