How To Make egg in the hole
-
Step 1With a biscuit cutter, or drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of the bread. Heat 2 to 3 Tbsp. butter in skillet over medium low heat, then put the bread in skillet and allow it to soak up the butter.
-
Step 2After a minute, crack a large egg into hole. Hence the name, egg in the hole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for another minute. Throw another tablespoon of butter into the pan, just for kicks. With a spatula, flip to the other side. Move the bread around in the skillet a bit, allowing it to soak in the butter

Step 3Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook on the second side til egg is the desired doneness. This is a self contained meal.
