Egg-In-The-Hole

Can you remeber your favoite meals from childhood? Well, this is one that I remember quite well! My mom would use cookie cutters to cut the hole out of the bread. So simple, and so yummy! I like to serve this with fresh fruit, usually strawberries and blueberries in our house. If you have those meat eaters, as I do, throw some bacon or turkey sausage on the plate! OJ and Coffee :) Pioneer Woman also has this one in her cookbook, but I don't use half as much butter..lol And I don't know what my mom called this, so we will use PW's name...


Egg-In-The-Hole


Ingredients: Butter, sliced bread (wheat, sourdough or whatever), eggs, salt and pepper

1. Start by getting whatever bread you choose out. And find a glass, or cookie cutter to make the hole in the bread. (I used regular loaf bread the other day and used a childrens cup so the hole was not too big. If you use larger bread you have the bread space to do a larger hole)
2. Heat up a tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, then put your piece of bread in.
3. Crack an egg into the hole.
4. Season with S&P and let cook another minute.
5. Flip with a spatula to the other side and make sure it gets in some of the butter.
6. Season that side with S&P and cook to the doneness you desire. I prefer mine runny, Sean not as much :)
