It is also known by a large number of alternative names, examples being Rocky Mountain toast, egg-in-a-basket, moon egg, egg-in-the-hole, one-eyed Jack, bird's nest, gas house eggs, the Elephant Egg Bagel, frog in a hole, camp eggs or camper's eggs, bull's eye, egg in bed, eggy-in-a-bready, moon toast, Moon over Miami (WTF??), Popeye, and Cowboy Eggs.
This is my favourite recipe of eggs. It's not only because of its absolutely delicious taste and texture, or because it's probably the easiest way to fry eggiwegs, it's because is one of my most cherished memories of my childhood, this is the first recipe I ever cooked... Successfully. Well, here it is:
Egg in a hole
Ingredients:
1 egg, 1 slice of bread, butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Procedure:
- Cut a medium circular hole in the center of the piece of bread with a cookie cutter or upside down glass.
- Fry bread (slice and removed "hole") with butter until crisp.
- Put more butter in the center of the hole and crack the egg into hole. Fry for a couple of minutes.
- Put some more butter, flip the bread/egg on top of it and fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the egg, add sal and pepper to taste et voilá! Your egg is done! Serve with ham, bacon, hashbrowns, cheese or whatever you like. I recommend to toss some dill on top of the egg for a delicate fresh flavour or even better if you toss some Kräuterlinge (mixture of herbs and spices by Knorr, I don't know the name of it in english).
