Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces thick slices of bread (sourdough or rustic bread)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup salsa (mild, medium, or spicy, depending on preference)
- 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 medium avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lime wedge
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of each bread slice.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, evenly coating the pan.
Place the bread slices in the skillet. Crack one egg into the center hole of each slice.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, and ground cumin over the eggs.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown and the egg begins to set. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes, depending on your desired egg doneness (less time for runny yolks, more for firmer yolks).
Remove the toast from the skillet and plate it. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of salsa over each egg-in-the-hole.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa while it's still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.
Garnish with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexi Eggs in a Hole!
