Thread: Egg in the Hole

Hence in the olden days they had toast racks. Toast was made and then left to cool in the rack on the table.
God,, people please let us be civilised

Yes, have been enjoying my toast that way for a bit now.

I do my sunnies, low n slow.
That is med. low heat, eggs in pan, touch of water and a lid to hold the steam for cooking the top of the egg.

No burn, no crispy edges, just perfect eggs for dipping my toast in.

Miracle whip for the scrambled eggs.

I like this hole thing, shall giver a go sometime.

Someone mentioned Boy scouts....we did make something close, by using a pie iron. Butter the bread on one side, put in iron with scrambled egg, close and stick into coals of camp fire. Hot pocket....anyone.

Yes, that med low heat, a bit of water and lid to hold the steam in works well for the boss when she makes a couple of eggs to go over my ham hash.

I usually use the same heat and do easy over to put on my dry and crispy toast.

For scrambled eggs or an omelette I add a bit of HP sauce and milk to the mix before scrambling them. Gives it a nice taste imo.

Til right.
Should work? About 3 ofem.......Bacon will be required.

Bacon is always required

I'm partial to smoked salmon eggs benedict myself, my kids will even get up on a weekend morning if I make them (mind you they go straight back to bed afterwards)

Wow.. The crispy bits are the best

I don't use ketchup on anything besides Fries. And that's not often. Hot salty fries are good without the red stuff.
Now, my wife puts the stuff on everything including Steak.
When I do eggs I make hashbrowns/fried potatoes first. Then fry 4 or 5 eggs ontop/into the taters. When its all done salt and fresh ground pepper and cheese. The egg in the hole sounds good. I will give it a go. I also like to soak bread in egg and fried that. But that's not the same I guess. Poormans French toast.

Gentlemen, I will see your blueberry pancakes and raise you the best breakfast pancake feast I have ever had: Scottish pancakes, smoked salmon, haggis, and hollandaise sauce, all from the Granary Cafe in Portree, Isle of Skye. It's not often I have a breakfast that makes lunch *completely* unnecessary, but that was one occasion. 5 1/2 years later, I still think wistfully of that morning. And now that my heart has had a chance to recover, I can't wait to go back for a repeat.

Sounds like another version of chicken n waffles.

Then u should fry your eggs in bacon grease. Ladle the grease over the yolks. Should take a couple days off your life, but its a moment in heaven, with each bite.
