Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and frozen
4 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
1 small bunch fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
6 round slices Black Forest ham
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form. Add the cheese and chives and pulse until just combined. Add the buttermilk and pulse a couple of times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat together gently into a ball. Use your hands to divide the dough into 6 even pieces. Generously coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Using the baking sheet as your work surface, pat each piece of dough into a 3 1/2-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Arrange 3 dough rounds along the top long edge of the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly and making sure there is a 1/2-inch space between the dough rounds and the edges of the baking sheet. Arrange the remaining 3 dough rounds in the same fashion along the bottom long edge of the baking sheet. Cut the center out of each round with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Arrange these smaller rounds evenly across the middle of the baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of all the dough pieces with buttermilk and bake until the smaller biscuits are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them and transfer to a plate.
  • Lay a piece of ham over each of the large rounds. Push each ham piece down into the hole so that it forms a cup. Crack 1 egg into each of the ham cups. If a little of the egg white spills over, it's okay. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake, rotating the pan front to back after 5 minutes, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly when you lightly shake the baking sheet, 8 to 12 minutes more.
  • Use a spatula to remove them to individual plates and top each with a smaller biscuit piece for dipping into the egg.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 slice of your favorite kind of bread
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give you the best results, as they will be more likely to hold their shape and cook evenly.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. A nonstick skillet will make it easier to flip the eggs without breaking them.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly and brown too much.
  • Add the butter or oil to the skillet before adding the eggs. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking.
  • Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs as they cook. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the skillet and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the eggs immediately. Scrambled eggs are best served hot.

Conclusion:

Scrambled eggs in the hole is a quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe that is perfect for busy mornings. It is also a great way to use up leftover bread. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
