Egg in a Hole
INGREDEINTS:
1 large egg
1 Tbls. butter
slice of bread - I used wheat bread
DIRECTIONS:
To cut the circle into the bread, place bread on a flat surface and place an empty drinking glass upside down on top of the bread. Slowly and firmly press down on the glass in a circular movement,
until it cuts through the slice. Use a knife to cut through where the glass may have missed. Melt 1 Tbls. of butter in a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Dip both sides of the bread pieces into the melted butter. Place the slice of bread in the center of the pan with the center cut circle next to it. Crack the egg into the open circle of the slice of bread. Fry until egg is firm enough to flip over but make sure not to burn the bread. Also flip the center circle to toast.
Fry until desired doneness is achived. Cover pan with a lid if more cooking is desired.
Serve warm.
