Egg-in-a-Hole

I love eggs and all the different things you can make with them. Many of you told me you loved the egg ham cup recipe I posted so I will share with you another one of my favorite egg creations. I make these about three times a week...I want one right now actually....They are perfect for a Sunday brunch too! Enjoy :)

Step 1: Butter up a skillet and grab a piece of toast. Use a cookie cutter or anything with a circular shape and create a hole in the middle of the toast.

Step 2:Heat a skillet over medium-low heat

Step 3: Crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.

Step 4: 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

 Step 5: Enjoy:) The little center hole of the toast is always my favorite part!

Ingredients

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

Directions

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 piece 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 whole piece of toast around 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 brown/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk. Perfect.
