Egg In The Hole (1 serving) 2 eggs 2 slices of bread 1 teaspoon butter In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Tear a 1 and 1/2-inch hole out of the center of each piece of bread. Tilt the skillet so the melted butter covers the surface of the pan. Place each slice of bread next to each other in the skillet. Crack eggs, one at a time, into the hole in the center of the bread. After about 3 minutes, flip the bread and cook on the other side until the egg has set. Slide onto a plate and serve. My mom used to make this for me when I was little. Great with ketchup!
