Baking (rather than frying) an egg-in-a-hole means you can make many at once -- perfect for serving a group. An array of toppings lets everyone customize their own.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a nonstick rimmed baking sheet. Butter bread on both sides. With a cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut a 2 1/2-inch round from center of each bread slice. Place slices and rounds on sheet and bake until golden, 6 minutes. Remove from oven and flip bread.

  • Carefully crack 1 egg into center of each slice. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, 8 to 9 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through (sprinkle with cheese, if using, during last 30 seconds of baking). Serve with desired toppings.

Yes, this not a new recipe unless you are very young and just now beginning to cook! It's OK, but after eating it, every blue moon, for so many years, no thank you!

Been making "egg in a whole" for over 30 years! Great for a quick and delicious breakfast! Kids would fight over the "holes"!

Haven't made it yet, but I'll intend to make it when I visit my daughter, she'll be recovering from surgery. I think it sounds great and it can be modified and added to....great idea. I do not think you intentionally tried to take credit.....for me it's from you and your daughter....THANK YOU!!

So you and your daughter created this recipe?? This recipe idea, including baking it and adding cheese and/or assorted other ingredients has been around forever; including when I was a little girl five decades ago!! Nice try giving yourself credit for it ;-)
