"Over-easy eggs, and toast all in one! I like to use the hole cut out of the center for dipping into the egg yolk!"

DIRECTIONS
Butter both sides of bread. Cut a circular hole in the center of the slice of bread, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Heat a frying pan or griddle on medium-high heat. When the frying pan is hot, place the bread into the pan and let it brown for one minute. Flip the toast over and let the other side brown for one minute.
Break the egg into the hole in the bread. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to the consistency you prefer.

These are just fun. My suggestions: add the egg just after you flip the bread to toast the second side - also lower the heat and increase the cooking time so your egg cooks more thoroughly and your toast doesn't burn. You can use fun cookie cutter shapes ... hearts for Valentine's Day, stars for the Fourth of July ... and don't discard the cutouts. Instead toast them in the pan and top with your favorite preserves. Photo available on my profile page.

This is one of my standard breakfast dishes! My husband asks for it on all the special occasions he gets breakfast in bed and I make it for his entire family when we go up to the cabin for deer season. Of course, I call it a Bulls-eye Egg, so it's more aptly titled. :) I love this recipe - I put the egg in while the first side is browning because we only like the yolk to be a little runny and can't stand runny whites. Then I add pepper, salt, basil and the smallest pinch of rosemary to the egg before I flip it. Yum!

The pan has to be hot or the egg will creep out from under the bread -- it will still taste fine, but the presentation just won't be the same. I used to love this one as a kid. We called it a One Eyed Egyptian, but I still don't know why. It's a good, easy to make classic, a great item for a young cook's recipe collection.

I made this for the first time today and it was simple and delicious. My husband and I both loved it. The recipe is very versatile and will become a regular recipe in my kitchen.

It was called Eggs in a Hole where I'm from. I like using 3 inch cookie cutters in different shapes to cut out the hole in the toast, and I fry the little toast "cutout" and serve that up, too!

My children love this concept. We watched V for Vendetta and decided to try it (they served it in the movie). Don't over cook your egg though because you need that yolk for moisture. It's easy and simple, and beats having to pop toast for every person having over easy eggs.

Always yummy- I usually use a glass turned upside down to make a cookie cutter instead of taking the time to cut holes in each piece of bread. I suppose you could just use a round cookie cutter too.... Yum.

We have these a lot at our house and they are BIG hits! We call them "Hole In One's". Sometimes we crumble up some bacon and sprinkle some shredded cheese in with the egg before pouring it in the center of the bread. Yummy!
