Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ¾-inch-thick slice country bread, whole wheat or white
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut a hole in the middle of bread. Reserve the removed portion to toast, if desired. Break egg into a teacup.
  • Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, or over a medium-hot grill, for about 2 minutes. Add butter. When butter stops foaming, place bread in pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook 3 minutes and flip over. Gently tip egg into hole.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over egg and cook 3 minutes. Carefully flip egg and bread over, and cook for another 30 to 40 seconds, until egg is cooked just over-easy. Transfer to a plate and serve.

BAKED BAGEL EGG-IN-THE-HOLE



Baked Bagel Egg-in-the-Hole image

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
4 everything bagels, halved
8 medium eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 large egg yolks
Juice of 2 lemons, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
8 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Steps:

  • For the baked bagel egg-in-the-hole: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
  • Using a 2-inch round cutter, make the center of each bagel half larger. Save the cutout pieces. Brush the cut side of the bagels and bagel cutouts with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter.
  • Place the bagels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Line up the cutout pieces down the center of the baking sheet cut-side down as well. Using the palm of your hand, press the bagels into the baking sheet. This will help make sure they are touching the baking sheet so the eggs won't seep out before they're cooked.
  • Brush the tops of the bagels and cutouts with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Crack an egg into each bagel hole. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs; 11 minutes will give you a runny yolk, while 14 minutes will give you a fully cooked yolk.
  • For the hollandaise: In a small saucepan, melt the butter until sizzling.
  • Put the egg yolks in a blender and turn on a low speed to allow them to combine. While the machine is running, slowly begin pouring the hot butter into the blender in a thin, steady stream. Once all the butter is in, immediately begin adding the lemon juice.
  • Check the blender to make sure the sauce is still liquidy and moving easily through the blades. If not, add a little more juice and give it a stir and then blend again. Add the cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving pitcher and cover with foil until serving.
  • For the garnish: Transfer the bagels and cutouts to a serving platter. Arrange the salmon around the bagels and garnish with the red onions, chives and capers. Serve with the warm hollandaise on the side.

EGG IN THE HOLE



Egg in the Hole image

This dish is fun to make and to eat; kids can help cut out the bread and crack the eggs.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large eggs
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cut a hole in both bread slices with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bread slices, side by side.
  • Carefully crack an egg into each bread hole (some white will remain on top). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until the eggs begin to set, 2 to 3 minutes; gently flip the egg and bread with a spatula. Continue cooking until eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality eggs. Fresh eggs will hold their shape better and are less likely to break when cooking.
  • Choose a sturdy piece of bread. A thick, hearty bread will hold up better to the cooking process and will be less likely to fall apart.
  • Butter the bread generously. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will make it easier to flip the egg and bread without breaking it.
  • Cook the egg slowly over medium heat. This will help prevent the egg from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the egg in the hole immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Egg in the hole is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast or lunch that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread and eggs, and it can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you like it simple with just salt and pepper, or you prefer to load it up with cheese, bacon, or avocado, egg in the hole is a versatile dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
