Egg in a Hole
Total time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 slice potato bread
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Using a small, sharp paring knife, cut a 2-inch in diameter wide hole in the center of the bread. In a small pan over medium-low heat, add the bread and toast for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Flip onto the other side and crack the egg right into the hole in the middle. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Now, very carefully, using a spatula, flip the bread and egg over, and cook for another minute. Serve immediately to ensure a runny yolk.
