Recipe Directions
- Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread, ensuring that the hole is large enough to accommodate an egg.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, place one slice of bread in the skillet and crack one egg into the center hole.
- Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the egg-in-a-hole for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the bread and egg using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread and eggs, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Once all the egg-in-a-hole slices are cooked, transfer them to plates and garnish with your choice of toppings, such as chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or crispy bacon or ham.
- Serve Shakera’s Crispy Egg-in-a-Hole Delight immediately, while the yolks are still warm and runny.
