Description

Egg in a Hole is a simple and classic breakfast dish where an egg is cooked in the center of a slice of bread, making for a delicious and satisfying start to the day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 slice of bread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  3. Place the bread slice in the skillet and toast one side lightly.
  4. Flip the bread over and crack the egg into the hole.
  5. Cook until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Cover with a lid if needed.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally toasting and serving the cut-out bread circle alongside.

Notes

  • You can use whole grain or white bread based on preference.
  • For a firmer yolk, cook longer or flip the bread to cook both sides.
  • Add cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
