Egg in a Hole (Toad in the Hole Toast)
- Press a 2 1/2-inch round cutter or the rim of a drinking glass into the center of each bread slice to cut out a circle. Keep the circles.
- Spread butter on both sides of each slice and both sides of the circles.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lay in the bread slices and the circles.
- Toast until the bottoms are light golden.
- Flip the slices and the circles.
- Crack one egg into each hole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the whites are completely set and the yolk has thickened and no longer jiggles when you nudge the pan.
- Slide the toasts onto plates with the toasted circles on the side for dipping.
