This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

It was incredibly easy and fun to make. I only have one question: what do you call it? I've heard so many names for it. Vote in my fun poll.

A kid favorite. We call it "Egg in a hole."

Tips:

  • Use a small wine or cocktail glass to make the hole. Rotate slowly on top of a wooden cutting board. Much easier and looks nicer.

  • Whole wheat bread works great.

  • Cover the pan with a glass pot lid to control the heat. Flip as soon as the egg is opaque. Don't worry, it keeps cooking. Otherwise, the bread cooks much faster so you end up with either burnt bread or overcooked egg.

  • Dabs of butter on both sides make the bread golden brown and crispy.

  • Also good with slices of avocado and your choice of hot sauce. Or if going sweet, cooked peaches and maple syrup.
