A different twist on a breakfast staple.

I got 5 dozen eggs on sale this week for 99 cents and was pondering with a co-worker on what to make that would be different that just omelets, fried eggs and hard boiled eggs and she said when she was young, her mother made her and her brother "eggs in a hole" - I had never heard of this so knew I wanted to try it as it sounded like something different and fun.

I got 5 dozen eggs on sale this week for 99 cents and was pondering with a co-worker on what to make that would be different that just omelets, fried eggs and hard boiled eggs and she said when she was young, her mother made her and her brother "eggs in a hole" - I had never heard of this so knew I wanted to try it as it sounded like something different and fun.

Instructions

  1. Small screenhunter 01 2bjun. 2b30 2b06.27

    Spread the butter or margarine on both sides of the bread.

  2. Small screenhunter 02 2bjun. 2b30 2b06.27

    Use the cookie cutter, glass or juice container (I used the latter) to cut a circle out of the center of each piece of bread.

  3. Small screenhunter 03 2bjun. 2b30 2b06.28

    This is what it will look like once you have cut out the circles. Spray the frying pan with non-stick cooking spray.

  4. Small screenhunter 04 2bjun. 2b30 2b06.28

    Put the pan on the stove and turn up to medium low heat-medium heat put the bread in first, then crack an egg into the center of each hole.

  5. Small screenhunter 05 2bjun. 2b30 2b06.28

    Cook for a few minutes, when it starts to look like this in center, flip each of the pieces over to toast on the other side and cook on that side for a few minutes. If you want your bread toaster, continue to cook and flip until it is is toasted to how you like it.

    If you want your bread toaster, continue to cook and flip until it is is toasted to how you like it. When done, use the spatula to put the pieces on a plate and sprinkle with salt and/or pepper to taste and serve.
