Ingredients

• 2 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., sourdough or brioche)
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Capers (optional)
• 2 wedges Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass, cut a 2- to 3-inch hole in the center of each bread slice.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the teaspoon of olive oil. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 3

Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip them over.

Step 4

Crack one egg into the hole of each slice of bread. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the eggs.

Step 5

Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid to cook further.

Step 6

Remove the egg-in-a-hole slices from the skillet and place them on serving plates.

Step 7

Top each slice with a generous portion of smoked salmon.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh dill, a few capers, and a squeeze of lemon, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your elevated egg-in-a-hole breakfast!
