Recipe: Egg in a Hole

Hello, Friends!

Today, we just have a quick recipe that can be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Egg-in-a-holes are overeasy eggs in the middle of a piece of bread. Here's the recipe:

Supplies:
-Eggs
-Butter (or a butter substitute)
-Bread
-Frying pan
-Spatula
-Stove

Directions:

1) Put a chunk of butter in the frying pan. Turn the burner on to 5. Or, you could do it a different way (see next step!).

2) Cut a square hole in the middle of the piece of bread. It should be big enough to fit the egg. It takes practice to know how big the hole should be. Just keep trying. :) Now, butter ONE side of the bread. If you want, you could just keep the burner off, and butter both sides of the bread. It doesn't really matter. Also butter the little piece of bread you cut out of the middle.

3) If you haven't already, turn the burner on. Place the piece of bread and mini bread (the cut out piece) on the burner. If you only buttered one side put the buttered side face up.

4) Now, crack the egg in the hole in the bread. Try not to break the yoke. If you do, though, that's okay. It will still taste good, even though it might taste slightly different. The only way you'll get better at it is to keep trying!

5) Now, check routinely to see if the other side is done. It's done when it looks crispy and golden brown. Another indicator of this is if the top of the egg white starts to turn white. Now comes the hard part. Flip it. You have to flip it with keeping the egg yolk intact. This is hard, but again, if you mess up, it'll still taste good. The second side takes considerably less time than the first, so beware!

6) Flip onto a plate, and you can dip the mini bread in the egg yolk if you want. Enjoy!

*On a side note, if you make another egg-in-a-hole right after the first one and the pan is still on, it will take much less time than the first.

**Another side note: The longer you cook it, the more solid the egg yolk turns.

Enjoy a nutritious and delicious meal!
