Egg in a Hole

I know - at first you think, is that something pervy? But then you find out it is a children's breakfast-type food. Then you feel badly for having thought anything pervy, and need to shower.

Egg in a Hole (or EH) is DELICIOUS. I saw it prepared recently on Everyday Food by one of their catatonic chefs (I find her strangely soothing, though).

Basically, preheat a griddle on medium-low to medium heat. Butter a piece of bread on both sides. Cut a hole in the middle of the bread, large enough to hold an egg, but not so large that the crusts are structurally unsound. Don't throw away that hole, however, it is DELICIOUS later on. Place your bread and the hole on the griddle. Carefully crack an egg into the hole. Allow the EH to grill peacefully until the egg is reasonably set on the bottom. Carefully fip the EH (don't forget the hole! keep it turning too!) and cook until the bread is grilled and the egg is cooked to your liking. Salt and pepper the EH and hole to taste. Enjoy.

R and I enjoyed this twice over the weekend. We are SO wild.
