Egg-In-A-Hole (or Egg-In-A-Basket)
Soli has a good backlog of dishes he has made (from soup to poached eggs to filet mignon) that he still needs to post about, so I’m going to lighten the load a little here and write briefly about the amazing and simple breakfast he made a few weeks back: Egg-In-A-Hole (or Egg-In-A-Basket or Toad-In-A-Hole or Bird’s Nest, depending on who you speak to).
I loved this breakfast. Soli punched some holes out of normal, Italian white bread, threw the bread (and the holes!) into a buttered pan, and cracked an egg into each hole. Some pepper, some salt, turn the stove on…and then you’re done.
Soli did pop the pan into the toaster oven for a bit, to melt the cheese he had sprinkled over the top.
The end result was perfectly cooked eggs stuck nicely into toasted bread, with cheesy bread circles on the side, and you don’t even need a fork or knife. Good morning!

Yum! Growing up my mom would make these for us kids but she called them FROG IN A HOLE! I don’t know why, but that’s what I think of when I see these! Thanks for bringing back memories!
