Egg in a Hole

These always feel kind of old-fashioned to me and definitely remind me of my grandmother. However, they're yummy and a really easy dinner.

Sliced Bread (I use 100% whole wheat)
Eggs
Butter
Grated cheese (optional)

  1. Take a slice of bread and cut out a 2" hole or oval in the center.
  2. Melt some butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Place the bread in the pan (along with the piece that's the hole) and break an egg into the hole.
  4. My kids prefer a scrambled egg, so I break the yolk and swirl the egg around, spreading it over the bread. If you like an easy-over egg, don't break the yolk.
  5. Fry until lightly browned on the bottom and then flip over (along with the hole). At this point, I sprinkle a little grated cheddar on top and cover with a lid until melted.
  6. Serve immediately... "Mmmm, just like Grammy used to make."

    It's 9:52 P.M. after a fairly crazy day and no supper yet. You have inspired me! I'm going to go try this. Thanks!

    My mom used to make these for us as kids and I still make them. We called them "Nested eggs" like the bread is the birds nest. Also, if you toast the bread first then it's easier to cut out the circle (we use a drinking glass) and it also doesn't get mushy with the egg.
