Egg in a Hole

I’ve been enjoying an Egg in a Hole for breakfast since I was a sophomore in high school…which was a minute ago, for sure!

I had spent the night with my friend, Jennifer, and her mom made these for us in the morning. I was immediately hooked.

The pan-toasted bread and the fried egg are the perfect balance of salty and sweet with a nice dose of protein and a few carbs to get the day going strong.

Egg in a Hole is a weekend staple at our house, especially during the summer when Coach is home to cook breakfast.

As you’ll see in the final photo, my kiddos enjoy it with a couple of goodies and a cold jar of chocolate milk on the side…

Ingredients:

• Butter or Margarine
• One Slice of Bread
• One Egg
• Seasoning (Salt, Pepper, Season Salt…whatever you like)

Instructions:

1. Butter your slice of bread.

2. Cut the center out of your slice of bread. I use a small juice glass or a round cookie cutter, but a knife works just as well. I like to keep the center to toast in the skillet and serve on the side.

3. Place bread, butter-side down, in a small skillet over medium heat.

4. Crack the egg. I do this in a small bowl or measuring cup to be sure the egg is fresh and no shell fragments fall into it.

5. Pour the egg into the center hole of the bread.

6. Lightly season.
7. Flip your Egg in a Hole to cook the other side.

8. Lightly season again.
9. Cook until the egg is done to your preference.
10. Eat and enjoy!

I usually add a spoonful of strawberry jelly to the top of mine, which is very sweet and scrumptious.

Definitely give this one a try –

With love and hugs,
