Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 thick-cut bread slices
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Begin by cooking the bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Using a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut a 2- to 3-inch hole in the center of each bread slice. Save the cutouts for an extra crunchy toast bite, if desired.
In the same skillet, carefully wipe away any bacon grease and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Place one slice of bread into the skillet and crack an egg directly into the hole. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. Flip the bread carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute for a slightly firmer yolk, if preferred. Remove from the pan and repeat with the second slice of bread, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter as needed.
Season the eggs and bread with salt and black pepper to taste.
Arrange the toasted egg-in-a-hole slices on plates and serve each with two slices of crispy bacon. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting, hearty breakfast!
