Egg In A Hole

Our children beg for egg in a hole :) We love it. Takes a while to do it right but it's worth it.

First, if your using homemade bread like I do, slice it about an inch thick. 

The depth keeps the egg from spilling out too much. 

Then I cut the holes in the middle. I find with store bought bread I can rip the holes but 

with homemade bread cutting works better and the outsides stay in one piece. 

The kids love the middles so they go on the table too.

Heat your pan up nicely, add a bit of butter and the bread and then crack eggs into the middle of each toast. Salt and Pepper them the way you would eggs. We like the yokes popped but I had not done it yet in the picture. Let them cook for a bit on a med low heat if you want your yokes done, or a bit hotter for shorter if you like them runny. 

Flip the over a bit after you think you should. Carefully done and you shouldn't have too much mess everywhere :) Fry them up till they are nicely browned on both sides, try to only flip them once :) Great meal! We like them as leftovers too.
