Egg-In-A-Hole Breakfast Sandwich


  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Egg-In-A-Hole Toast

  • 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or brioche)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Sandwich Fillings

  • 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, or mozzarella)
  • 2 strips of cooked bacon (or sausage patty/ham)
  • ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1 slice of tomato (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce or ketchup (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  1. Use a round cookie cutter, glass, or biscuit cutter to cut a hole (about 2 inches wide) in the center of one slice of bread. Keep the cut-out piece for extra toasting!

Step 2: Cook the Egg-In-A-Hole

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the hole-cut slice of bread in the pan. Crack 1 egg directly into the hole and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the egg begins to set. Flip gently using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes for a soft yolk or longer for a firm yolk.
  4. Toast the second slice of bread in the pan until golden brown.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Place one slice of cheese on the toasted bread slice.
  2. Add cooked bacon (or sausage), avocado slices, and tomato.
  3. Gently place the egg-in-a-hole toast on top.
  4. Add the second cheese slice and close the sandwich.

Step 4: Final Toasting

  1. Place the whole sandwich back in the skillet for 30-60 seconds per side, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to crisp up.
  2. Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately!
