EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut a hole in the middle of bread. Reserve the removed portion to toast, if desired. Break egg into a teacup.
• Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, or over a medium-hot grill, for about 2 minutes. Add butter. When butter stops foaming, place bread in pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook 3 minutes and flip over. Gently tip egg into hole.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over egg and cook 3 minutes. Carefully flip egg and bread over, and cook for another 30 to 40 seconds, until egg is cooked just over-easy. Transfer to a plate and serve.

EGG IN A HOLE

Steps:

• Melt the bacon grease in a non-stick pan over low heat.
• Cut a 1 1/2 to 2-inch hole from the center of the bread slice; lay in the hot skillet. When the side facing down is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes, flip and crack the egg into the hole; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the egg is cooked and mostly firm. Flip again and cook 1 minute more to assure doneness on both sides. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
• Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter. When the butter is all spread out, place the slice of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.
• Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper. After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and salt and pepper the other side.
• Move the toast around in the skillet, soaking up all of the glorious butter. Let it cook until the yolk feels soft. Here's the key: golden brown toast, white (not browned/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk. Perfect.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a cutting board, butter all the sandwich bread and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Using a glass, cut out the centers of 6 slices of bread.
• Toast the bread under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until toasted. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Make the Béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it darkens slightly.
• Add the milk and whisk to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced by half.
• Remove the pot from the heat and add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, Gruyère, and Parmesan and stir until fully incorporated.
• Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Lay 6 pieces of toast in the bottom of the dish. Top with 9 slices of Swiss cheese, 6 slices of ham, and 2 cups of spinach. Repeat to make another layer and top with the hollow-centered toast.
• Crack an egg into each hole. Carefully ladle the Béchamel sauce over the bake, leaving the yolks exposed.
• Cover and bake for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake for 10 minutes more, until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the Béchamel is starting to brown in spots.
• Slice and serve garnished with chives, if desired.
• Enjoy!
