Eggs in a Basket (Egg in a Hole)

Directions

1. 1
   Rub both sides of the bread with softened butter.
2. 2
   Then, use a small round object such as a Mason jar cover, round cookie cutter, the top of a glass, etc. to cut a round circle out of the center of each piece of bread.
3. 3
   Heat a large skillet over low/medium heat and add about a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When the olive oil is fragrant, add the bread and circle cutouts to the pan. Cook bread on the pan for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip.
4. 4
   Crack an egg in the middle of each circular cutout. Then, cover the pan and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk.
5. 5
   Remove your egg in a hole from the heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
