How the heck do you make egg in a hole and what is it? Well first you take a piece of bread, then you take a drinking glass (or round cookie cutter), then you push the rim of the glass in the middle of the piece of bread to create the hole. Then you can either spread some butter on both sides of the bread or put some vegetable oil in a pan. The vegetable oil makes it more crunchy. Crunchy=YUM. So you put the bread in a pan over some heat. Think grilled cheese, you don't want to burn it. Then you crack an egg open into the hole in the bread. Now, think fried egg. You want to flip it over when appropriate. I love the runny yolk... you can dip the crunchy bread in it on the plate, like above. Totally one of the best things in life.
Shane says he can flip the egg in the hole with his mind, but I wouldn't listen to him if I were you. He also says he has perfected the art of Egg In A Hole. This I will agree with. It's the perfect weekend morning breakfast.
I grew up eating this same thing...except we called it "toad in the hole"---not really sure why though haha. I've also heard it called "bird in the nest," but "egg in the hole" is by far the most exact description for a name :) yummm!
ReplyDeleteThe art to Egg in the Hole is taught by Don Turnbow on campouts with the Royal Ambassadors at FBC Richardson... that man could cook 200 egg in the holes at a time... a genius that man. ;0
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of plates are those. i like the pattern. It looks like the MS ones we got at Macy's
ReplyDeletehaha, Laurie they are Land's End. I'm not sure what the pattern is...
ReplyDeleteYeah, we called it a "hole in one." not sure why - I agree, "Egg in the Hole" actually makes sense.
