Make a special, quick breakfast using this simple egg in a hole recipe. It is a fun fried egg in toast that kids can help prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices Texas toast or thick-cut bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread. Keep the cut-out bread pieces.
  2. Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Place both slices of bread in the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
  4. Carefully crack one egg into the hole of each bread slice.
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg whites start to set.
  7. Flip the bread and egg carefully using a wide spatula. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
  8. Remove the egg in a hole from the skillet. Garnish with fresh chives. Serve immediately with the reserved toast cut-outs.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality sourdough or brioche bread instead of standard white bread.
  • If you want a fully cooked yolk, cover the pan for the last minute of cooking time.
  • This recipe is a great base for easy egg recipes; try adding a slice of cheese before flipping.
