Egg in the Hole

Sometimes it's the simplest things that taste the best.  Here is the recipe for this simple recipe that is also known for many different names but I declare the proper name to be "Egg in the Hole". 

These concoctions could also be called:

➤Egg-in-a-Basket

➤Chicken-in-a-Basket (pun intended)

➤Frog-in-a-Hole (so not appropriate!)

➤Egg Basket

➤Bird's Nest Egg

➤Toad Hole

➤Egg Hole

➤Pop Eyes

➤Egg Toast

➤Private Eyes

It doesn't matter what you call it.  Just make it!  Then eat it!  And you too shall know that it is simple and tastes great!

Ingredients:

Sliced bread of your choosing (white, wheat, rye, pumpernickel or homemade)

Butter, softened

Large eggs

salt

black pepper

Begin with a simple piece of sandwich bread.  Anything will do!  Butter both sides of bread.  With a biscuit cutter or drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of the bread.  

Heat a skillet over medium-low-heat, then place the bread in the skillet and allow the bread to start browning.  After 1 minute, crack a large egg into the hole.  Sprinkle with salt & pepper and cook for another minute or so. 

With a spatula, flip to the other side.  Sprinkle with salt & pepper and cook on the second side until the egg is desired doneness.  I love the outer edges of the yolk to be barely set, with the center runny.  But that's just me (and all four of my kids, but NOT JEFF :) ).
