So, my husband and I have had several debates over what this dish, comprised of an egg cooked in toast, is actually called. While he insists on "Egg In The Hole," I know it as "Rocky Mountain Toast" (which is what I remember my dad always calling it when he made it for me as a girl). Either way, it's a nice break from the daily omelets I whip up and really simple to make!
Leave a comment and let me know what you call it!
Ingredients
2 slices of whole wheat bread
pad of butter
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Start by cutting large holes into your bread by forcefully pressing the rim of glass down and twisting. Save the cutouts. Next, butter both sides of the bread as well as the cutouts. Heat some olive in a pan over medium- low heat and place your bread in. Crack an egg in a separate bowl, look for and remove any egg shells, and pour the egg directly in the hole.
Cook for 1-3 minutes, depending on how well-done you like the yolk and flip over, allowing the other side to cook for the same length. While cooking, place the cutouts in the pan and cook as well. Seasons with salt and pepper and enjoy!
