Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 3
Place one slice of bread in the skillet and let it toast slightly on one side for about 1 minute.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season each 'Egg in a Hole' with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Optionally, toast the cut-out bread circles in the skillet until golden brown and serve them alongside the main dish as a fun garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm and satisfying 'Eggs in a Hole'!
