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.

EGG-IN-THE-HOLE FRENCH TOAST



Egg-in-the-Hole French Toast image

Try this savory, protein-packed twist on a classic. Almonds provide great texture and flavor without making the dish too dairy-rich or heavy.

Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup Fisher® Sliced Almonds, toasted, finely ground
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 slices (about 1/2-inch thick) dense multigrain bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Nonstick spray
4 large eggs
2 scallions, minced, both green and white parts
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup almonds, 2 eggs, paprika, almond milk and salt until smooth.
  • Place the bread slices on a flat surface and use a cookie cutter or a small glass to cut holes (about 2-inches wide) in the center of each. Soak each slice and the bread circles in the egg mix, coating both slides. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter. When the butter begins to foam and brown slightly, arrange 2 slices in the pan. Cook on the first side over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes, and then turn the slices over, cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until both sides are browned and the toast is cooked through. Keep warm. Repeat with remaining bread and bread circles.
  • Use a kitchen towel to wipe out the skillet and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Fry 2 eggs sunny side up in the skillet. Repeat with remaining eggs. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the remaining almonds on the bottom of each plate as an "anchor" for each egg. Place a fried egg on top of the nuts and place each piece of toast carefully on top of the egg so the yolk peeks out of the toast hole. Serve a bread circle with each serving. Drizzle with the maple syrup. Top with scallions and remaining almonds.

SUNSHINE TOAST IN THE OVEN



Sunshine Toast in the Oven image

From a kids' cookbook and the house specialty of our 9 yr old daughter, this is an oven-baked variation on eggs cooked in the middle of toast. We like it because it's easy enough that the girls can do it on their own (no spattering grease in a frying pan) and because we can do up to a dozen at a time for sleep-overs and such (6 slices fit on an average cookie sheet). The girls have fun picking out which cookie cutters to use for their toast, especially when they can match them to a holiday/season (trees, stars, & angels in the winter, bunnies and flowers in the spring, etc). Bake the cutouts alongside for fun little munchie toast shapes. Don't use very large eggs, though, or they will overrun the toast!

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 slice bread
1/4-1/2 teaspoon margarine (or to taste)
1 egg (medium)

  • Butter the top of the slice of bread and place butter-side up on the cookie sheet.
  • Choose a large cookie cutter in desired shape and press down hard in the center of the bread.
  • Remove shape from center of bread, place alongside on cookie sheet, butter-side up.
  • Crack egg into a small bowl or saucer and gently slide into the hole in the center of the bread.
  • Bake approx 7 minutes on the top rack of 400F oven (or longer to desired doneness).
  • Carefully remove to plate with spatula and serve with cutout shapes alongside.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for the best results. Stale bread will not absorb as much butter and will be less likely to become soggy.
  • Use a good quality butter or spread. This will make a big difference in the taste of the finished dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the egg. The white should be set but the yolk should still be runny.
  • Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the egg in the middle of the toast immediately.

Conclusion:

Egg in the middle of toast is a quick and easy breakfast or lunch that is sure to please everyone. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and eggs, and it is also a very affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
