The Ideal Way To Make An Egg-In-A-Hole Breakfast Is With Your Sheet Pan
By Crystal Antonace
Egg-in-a-hole has taken many forms since the end of the 19th century, but the most standard way to enjoy it has been within a perfectly buttered piece of toast.
The raw egg and bread may not cook evenly in a skillet, so consider using a sheet pan for perfectly toasted bread and a warm, sunny-side-up egg.
A stove heats and cooks the egg from the bottom and can potentially overdo it, whereas an oven is able to maintain a high, consistent temperature to cook it from all sides.
Simply coat a sheet pan with cooking spray or oil, lay your pieces of cut-out bread directly on the pan, crack in your eggs, and bake them at 400 degrees for up to 10 minutes.
The best part about the sheet pan method is you don't have to flip your bread halfway through the cooking process. If you want runny eggs, check them after six to seven minutes.
Making eggs-in-a-hole in the oven is almost entirely hands-free. This method also gives you the luxury of making multiple mini-meals at once and requires very little cleanup.
