Why This Dish Stands Out
There are endless reasons to whip up egg-in-a-hole toast. Firstly, it’s a quick and budget-friendly meal that can be made in under 10 minutes, allowing you to savor a delicious breakfast without the extensive prep. Not to mention, it’s wholly customizable! You can dress it up with your favorite toppings like creamy avocado, rich cheese, or vibrant fresh herbs to suit your flavor preferences.
It’s an iconic choice for family brunches, and kids love it, making it an ideal solution for parents seeking a fun and engaging breakfast.
“I never knew breakfast could be this easy! My kids love choosing their toppings. Each bite is a new adventure!” – A satisfied home cook.
Preparing Egg-in-a-Hole Toast
Making egg-in-a-hole toast is beautifully straightforward. Begin by slicing a hole in the center of your bread, whether using a cookie cutter or a glass—it’s all about the presentation! You’ll then preheat your air fryer, allowing you to pamper your taste buds in just a few steps. With the bread prepped and your egg cracked into the hole, you’re moments away from a deliciously indulgent dish!
Gather These Items
To create this satisfying meal, you’ll need:
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil or a small pat of butter (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toppings of your choice: avocado, grated cheese, fresh herbs, etc.
Feel free to switch out the bread type for whole grain or gluten-free varieties, and use your favorite egg size for a richer flavor.
