Midnight snack.
I turned the heat up to medium high. I melted a large part of butter and added the wheat bread. After sufficient toasting I flipped it and added another pat of butter. Once that was toasted I set it aside and added more butter. I cracked an egg. The yolk broke because it was from our chicken that has always had weak yolks. I had a little bit of salt, pepper and paprika. Flipped it to cook the other side. And placed it on the bread which had been applied with some sharp cheddar.
This is how I did it this time. Sometimes I’ll toast the bread in the toaster. Sometimes I’ll use American cheese instead of sharp cheddar. Sometimes I want that runny yolk so I’ll choose a different egg.
But what’s your strategy? Do you use any condiments?
Cost: 40¢ and a backyard egg.
If you haven’t done Toad in the Hole, I highly suggest it!
Heavily butter a slice of bread, using a drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of the bread.
Heat up a skillet and put the bread in butter side down.
Crack an egg in the hole. Flip when cooked and brown the other side. Don’t forget to fry up the circle divot too!
As a Brit, very weird to hear that called ‘toad in the hole’.
Here, toad in the hole is sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding batter. Completely different!
In the US that’s called “Pigs in a Blanket”. 😉
I don’t think so - aren’t your pigs in blankets wrapped in puff pastry? Very different to Yorkie batter!!
Our toad in the hole is all in one dish:
Also, UK pigs in blankets are different to US pigs in blankets too, just to confuse things further 😄 we wrap the sausages in bacon
Could be puff pastry, but can also be pancake batter.
Check this out, there are moulds you can fill with pancake batter and stuff little smokies into:
I have questions.
Chief among them: this is not a sandwich, correct? Only one slice of bread with an egg?
Also, what do you ultimately do with the leftover bread circle?
Well, there’s nobody telling you you can’t have TWO of them. 😉 Or more, I’m not here to judge. LOL.
For the leftover circle, you just fry it up like toast. Serve with jam.
Towing a hole is fun, but it’s not something you can pick up with your fingers.
