Description
Perfectly cooked egg inside a perfectly toasted slice of buttery bread. This Hole in One recipe is perfect for kids and adults alike!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sandwich bread (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Use a 2 or 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out the centers of 2 slices of sandwich bread. Reserve the centers.
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan to ensure the butter coats the entire surface.
- Once the butter begins to sizzle add the bread slices, as well as the cutout circles. Cook until the bread is toasted and light golden-brown on the bottom, 2 – 4 minutes.
- Flip the slices and circles. Crack a large egg into each hole. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolk is still runny (the other side of the bread should be golden-brown too), 3 1/2 – 4 1/2 minutes.
- Transfer the toasts and the cut-out rounds to a plate. Garnish with chopped chives, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the temperature should you feel that the butter is getting too hot. You don’t want brown butter for this recipe!
- When cooking the eggs, make sure to check them after 3 minutes. Sometimes they make cook quicker depending the size of your eggs, pan, and the heat.
- If the bread is not browning, increase the heat.
- For hard-cooked egg yolks, cook for 5 – 5 1/2 minutes instead.
