Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut a circular hole in the center of each bread slice. Save the cut-out pieces for toasting later, if desired.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Place one slice of bread in the skillet and let it toast slightly on one side for about 1 minute.
Crack an egg directly into the hole in the bread slice. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set.
Carefully flip the bread and egg over using a spatula, being gentle to avoid breaking the yolk. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the bread with the cooked egg from the skillet and repeat the process with the second slice of bread, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Season each 'Egg in a Hole' with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste.
Optionally, toast the cut-out bread circles in the skillet until golden brown and serve them alongside the main dish as a fun garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm and satisfying 'Eggs in a Hole'!
