🍳 Egg in a Hole

🧾 Ingredients (per serving):

• 1 slice bread (any kind — white, wheat, sourdough, brioche)

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp butter (or oil)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

---

🔪 Instructions:

1. Cut the hole:

   • Use a small glass or biscuit cutter to cut a hole (about 2–2.5 inches wide) in the center of the bread.

2. Toast the bread:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

   • Place the bread (and the cut-out circle if you like) into the pan.

3. Add the egg:

   • Crack the egg into the hole. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until the whites start to set.

4. Flip (optional):

   • Carefully flip the bread and egg with a spatula to cook the other side, about 1–2 more minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk.

5. Season and serve:

   • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

   • Serve with the toasted cut-out for dipping or as a crispy side!

📝 Optional Add-ons:
