Egg in frame or toad in the hole—whatever you choose to call it, this recipe is a super fun way to spruce up the classic eggs and toast breakfast. Leave the yolks slightly runny so you can dip those crusty cutouts and sop up all the golden goodness on your plate!

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs

Growing up, my Mother used to make what she called barn hole eggs, which appears to be similar to this recipe. What she did was cut out a square in the middle of the bread, brown it in butter, turn it over, crack open the egg and gently place it in the hole, turn the bread over and there you go. To this day, I do the very same thing.
