Egg In The Hole

4 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 slice seeded rye bread
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the egg in its shell on its long side in the center of the toast. Cut around it with a sharp knife, creating a whole. Save the piece of bread you cut out, hopefully in one piece!
  2. 2
    Butter both pieces of bread lightly on both sides. Put the rest of the butter (at least a teaspoon or so) in a pan and get it sizzling but don't let it brown.
  3. 3
    Put the two pieces of bread in the pan. Crack the egg over the toast so that the yolk stays in the hole. Spread the white out a little with a wooden spoon so that it coats more of the toast - this is easier (and obviously, the whole thing tastes better) with a good fresh egg.
  4. 4
    After the white has set on the bottom (1-2 minutes) flip the toast, being careful not to break the egg. Also flip the little extra bit of toast. 1 more minute and it's done! Season with salt.
