Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices brioche bread (or other bread, 1/2-inch thick )
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 jumbo eggs

Steps:

  • Set the broiler to low. Punch out a 2 1/2-inch hole from the center of each bread slice(a biscuit cutter works well). Stir the melted butter, salt, and pepper together and brush the mixture on both sides of the bread slices and cutouts, including the inside of the hole.
  • Toast the slices and cutouts in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the bread and crack an egg into each hole.
  • Cover and cook until egg sets, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the skillet under broiler just until the white is fully cooked. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  • Note:.
  • If desired, just put the egg in the hole when you first put the bread in the pan(and don't cover), flip it and cook the other side of the egg instead of putting it under the broiler.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 slice of your favorite kind of bread
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all spread out, place the slice of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.
  • Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper. After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and salt and pepper the other side.
  • Move the toast around in the skillet, soaking up all of the glorious butter. Let it cook until the yolk feels soft. Here's the key: golden brown toast, white (not browned/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk. Perfect.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ¾-inch-thick slice country bread, whole wheat or white

Tips:

- Use stale bread for a crispier egg-in-a-hole. Stale bread will absorb less butter or oil, resulting in a more golden-brown crust. - Make sure the butter or oil is hot before adding the bread. This will help the bread to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan. - Cook the egg-in-a-hole over medium heat. This will help the egg to cook through without burning the bread. - Use a spatula to carefully flip the egg-in-a-hole halfway through cooking. This will ensure that the egg is cooked evenly on both sides. - Serve the egg-in-a-hole immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Egg-in-a-hole is a quick and easy breakfast or lunch that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread and eggs, and it's also a fun meal to make with kids. With so many different ways to customize it, there's an egg-in-a-hole recipe out there for everyone.
