How to Make Country Living Egg In A Hole

  1. Preheat your broiler to low.
  2. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or small bowl, carefully punch out a hole from the center of each bread slice.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the butter mixture on both sides of the bread slices and the cut-out bread pieces.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Toast the bread slices and cut-outs for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  6. Carefully crack an egg into each hole in the bread.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  8. For fully cooked egg whites, place the skillet under the preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and fun Egg in a Hole!
  10. Optional: Skip step 8 and just cook the egg completely in the pan. Flip the bread to cook the other side of the egg.
