EGG-IN-THE-HOLE

Here is the recipe for the egg-in-the-holes I made for our anniversary breakfast.

What You Need

sliced bread (such as white, whole wheat, sourdough)

butter

large eggs

salt

black pepper

How You Make Them

1. Begin with a piece of bread. With a biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of the bread.

2. Heat 2-3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then place the bread in the skillet and allow it to soak up the butter.

3. After 1 minute, crack a large egg in the hole. Hence the name "egg-in-the-hole."

4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for another munute. Throw another tablespoon of butter into the pan.

5. With a spatula, flip to the other side. Move the bread around in the skillet a bit, allowing it to soak in the butter.

6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook on the second side until the egg is desired doneness.
