“One-Eyed Jacks” aka Egg in the Hole

Sometimes the simplest meals are the most enjoyed. Well this egg dish is no exception. It shouldn’t have, but it really did surprise me just how much my family enjoyed these eggs. It was a super hit…and for dinner none the less!

I hope you give this easy meal a-go and see how your family enjoys it. Let us know in the comments down below 🙂

Butter bread slices on both sides. Cut out center of bread with a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or juice glass in the size of about 2.5 to 3-inches in diameter. Save the circles. Set buttered bread aside.

Lightly oil large skillet, preferably cast iron, with butter or coconut oil. Heat over medium.

When skillet is hot, place buttered bread slices in pan. Carefully crack an egg into each hole.

Cook for several minutes, until egg white is mostly set on the bottom.

Carefully flip bread over and allow the egg to cook for a few seconds to a minute or two more, depending on how you like your egg cooked. (In the skillet also toast both sides of the circles cut from the bread.)

Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle top with cheese if desired, serve immediately with the toasted circles (great for dipping/mopping up the delicious egg yolk).

Serves 4.
