How to Make Mexi Eggs In A Hole

  1. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Using a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter or glass, cut a circle from the center of each bread slice. Set aside the cut-out bread circles.
  3. Place 2 bread slices, butter-side down, in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Gently crack 1 egg into the hole of each bread slice.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set around the edges and the bottoms are lightly browned.
  6. Carefully flip the bread slices using a spatula.
  7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks are thickened to your liking.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese over each egg.
  9. Place the skillet under a broiler, about 4 inches from the heat source, for 1 minute or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. (Optional) Pan-toast the reserved bread circles separately until lightly golden brown.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa and enjoy!
