Eggs in a hole are always a favorite breakfast recipe in our house. You can cook the eggs however you prefer from over easy to well done. I always like a runny center, but I know some people prefer a well done egg, and who am I to judge.

We love them for camping when we are in the mood for eggs and toast. But lets get real the kids would eat this every day if they could! The best part of  the meal according to the kids is you don't even need to butter the toast! 

Besides being called Eggs In A Hole. Eggs in the center of a piece of toast are also known as Eggs In A Basket. I've seen some people refer to them as Toad In A Hole, but that is a more classic English dish with sausage baked into Yorkshire Pudding. 

My sweet husband made this, this morning and took the pictures isn't he super sweet guy. Yes, he is a keeper! 

Eggs In A Hole recipe is so easy even the kids love to make it.

Butter melted in a black cast iron skillet.

Melt 4 tablespoons Butter over medium heat and coat the bottom of the skillet well.

A slice of bread with a large canning jar being pressed into bread.

Take 2 slices of bread and use a small cup, canning jar, or biscuit cutter and press in the center to make a hole. 

I love sourdough bread if I have it but anything you have available is delicious! I used Whole Wheat this time.

Center rounds of bread removed from bread.

Remove the circle from each piece of bread.

Two Eggs being held in there hand over a piece of bread in the background in a cast iron skillet.

Place bread and bread rounds into skillet with melted butter and crack eggs into the center of each piece of bread.

2 Pieces of Bread with a circle cut out in the center with Eggs placed in the center in a cast iron skillet.

Salt and pepper eggs well. Flip the eggs after about 3 minutes. Use the bread rounds to see how toasted the bread has become to know when to flip the eggs.

Cook until Eggs are desired doneness.
