Country Living Egg In A Hole Food

EGG-IN-A-HOLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Drain the grease from the skillet but do not clean. When cool enough to handle, tear the bacon slices in half.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce to taste in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut a hole in the center of each Texas toast slice.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the bacon skillet and add 2 of the Texas toast slices. Toast the bread slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Crack an egg into the hole in each piece of toast and sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the toast with the egg, season the other side and spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Top each with a slice of cheese to slightly melt and cook until the egg is the desired doneness. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter, toast, eggs, mayo mixture and cheese.
• To build the sandwiches, divide the bacon between 2 of the egg-in-a-hole toast pieces, on top of the cheese. Top each with some tomato slices and lettuce, then top with a remaining egg-in-a-hole toast piece. Serve immediately or wrap in foil to keep warm.

COUNTRY LIVING EGG IN A HOLE

Steps:

• Set the broiler to low. Punch out a 2 1/2-inch hole from the center of each bread slice(a biscuit cutter works well). Stir the melted butter, salt, and pepper together and brush the mixture on both sides of the bread slices and cutouts, including the inside of the hole.
• Toast the slices and cutouts in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the bread and crack an egg into each hole.
• Cover and cook until egg sets, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the skillet under broiler just until the white is fully cooked. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
• Note:.
• If desired, just put the egg in the hole when you first put the bread in the pan(and don't cover), flip it and cook the other side of the egg instead of putting it under the broiler.

EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all spread out, place the slice of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.
• Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper. After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and salt and pepper the other side.
• Move the toast around in the skillet, soaking up all of the glorious butter. Let it cook until the yolk feels soft. Here's the key: golden brown toast, white (not browned/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk. Perfect.

MEXI EGGS-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• Spread butter evenly on both sides of bread slices. Cut a circle from center of each slice, using a 2 to 3-inch round cutter. Centers can be cut from bread slices using a glass with a 2 to 3-inch diameter or a biscuit cutter.
• Place 2 bread slices in large nonstick skillet with ovenproof handle(To make handle ovenproof, wrap it completely in aluminum foil), then heat to medium. Break egg shell gently and slip an egg into center of each slice. Cook until bottoms of eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes; gently turn over. Cook until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
• Bread centers can be pan-toasted separately and eaten along with eggs-in-a-hole.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoons cheese onto each bread slice.
• Broil 4 inches from heat just until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Repeat to cook remaining eggs. Serve with salsa.
