Instructions
Creating Egg in a Hole is simple! Follow these steps to make your own perfect dish:
1. Prepare the Bread: Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread. Set the cut-out piece aside.
2. Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s bubbling.
3. Add the Bread: Place the slices of bread in the skillet, ensuring they are laid flat and evenly toasted.
4. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into the hole of each slice of bread. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
5. Season the Eggs: Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top of the eggs to enhance their flavor.
6. Cook to Preference: Allow the eggs to cook until the whites are set, about 2-3 minutes. If you prefer your yolks firmer, cover the skillet with a lid for an additional minute.
7. Toast the Cut-Outs: While the eggs are cooking, place the cut-out pieces in the pan to toast alongside the bread.
8. Plate and Serve: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. You can even top them with cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
9. Enjoy: Dig in while it’s still warm, and savor the delightful combination of flavors!
