or “toad in the hole.”

first cut the holes

Spread both sides of the bread evenly with the butter. Using a 3-inch (7.5-cm) round cutter, cut a circle out of the center of each piece of bread and set aside.


then cook the eggs and bread

Heat a 12-inch (30-cm) nonstick frying pan or griddle over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Add a little bit of butter, carefully tilting and swirling the pan to spread the butter evenly over the pan bottom. When the pan is hot and the butter is melted, place the bread, including the cutout circles, in a single, even layer in the pan. Crack an egg into the hole in each slice of bread and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Let the egg cook until it just begins to turn opaque, 2–3 minutes. Slide a spatula under each slice of bread and its egg and carefully turn them over together. Continue to cook until the yolk is still runny but the white is cooked through, about 30 seconds more. Turn the cutout circles as well, cooking them until nicely browned on both sides.

finally serve the eggs

Using the spatula, slide each egg in a hole onto a serving plate with a “hole” alongside it. Serve hot.
