Egg in a Hole

                                     

Egg in a hole    

My mother would make this for us on special occasions.
Thomas wanted this every weekend for breakfast, I now only
 make it for Birthdays and if you make straight A's on your report card.
It makes it more special. They especially like the toast rounds that you have with this.
This egg hasn't been flipped yet. It's hard to see the beauty of it when its flipped.

Ingredients:
Large eggs
1/2 stick butter melted in a bowl
paint or pastry brush
biscuit cutter, or jar lid
 sliced loaf bread
Non stick cooking spray

On a cutting board use the brush to apply butter to both sides of the bread. Using the biscuit cutter cut the center out of the slices of bread, one at a time.

Need frying pan on medium heat. My children love the grilled toast, so I butter several extra whole pieces and grill them on both sides until golden brown.
The pan is good and hot now.

One person wanted their egg well done, before I flip I poke the middle several times to help the yolk to cook faster. I had left it in the pan to continue to cook while I started another egg.
I don't poke the yolk on the over medium eggs.





Spray a 3-4 inch circle in the pan where the center of bread will go, place hole in bread over spray, quickly crack egg and drop it into the circle.

let the egg set and cooked about 1/2 way or a little more.
If my non - stick pan is older I spray the egg slightly on the top before I flip it. Using a spatula go under egg and flip. Cook for about 1 minute.
 Sorry it was a fast assembly line and Thomas was waiting for his Birthday breakfast. I forgot to get a plated picture.
They are best hot with bacon and hash browns.
