Shakera’s Crispy Egg-in-a-Hole Delight

Recipe Directions

1. Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread, ensuring that the hole is large enough to accommodate an egg.
2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
3. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, place one slice of bread in the skillet and crack one egg into the center hole.
4. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the egg-in-a-hole for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
6. Carefully flip the bread and egg using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your desired doneness.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread and eggs, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Once all the egg-in-a-hole slices are cooked, transfer them to plates and garnish with your choice of toppings, such as chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or crispy bacon or ham.
9. Serve Shakera’s Crispy Egg-in-a-Hole Delight immediately, while the yolks are still warm and runny.
