Toads In Holes (Eggs in Toast!)
Toads in Holes is a delightful breakfast recipe where eggs are cracked into holes in thick-cut sourdough bread, fried to perfection with butter, resulting in a satisfying and flavorful morning treat.
Equipment
- cookie cutter or small bowl/glass for cutting circular holes
Ingredients
- 6 thick cut slices sourdough bread at least one inch thick
- 12 eggs
- 12 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Use a glass or small bowl to cut a circle in the middle of each bread slice, making sure not to cut through the crust.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt until it becomes bubbly, but be careful not to let it brown.
- Add the bread slices, along with the cut-out circles, into the pan and fry them for about 30 seconds.
- Crack one egg into each hole, waiting a few seconds between each egg to let the first one set. Cook for approximately 2-5 minutes per side, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference for egg doneness.
- Serve the toads in holes alongside some perfect paprika potatoes, fresh fruit, and a big cup of coffee. Enjoy!
Notes
The recipe instructions are per slice of bread, so adjust the quantities accordingly based on the number of servings you desire.
