Egg In A Hole Blt On Whole Wheat Bread With A Side Salad Recipes

CALIFORNIA BLT EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon in a large ovenproof skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 teaspoons bacon drippings from the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the 2 bagel bottoms to the skillet cut-side down and cook until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash together the avocado, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl.
• Remove the bagel bottoms from the skillet and evenly spread the avocado mash over the toasted sides; set aside. Add the 2 bagel tops to the skillet cut-side down. Crack 1 egg into each bagel hole and season with salt and black pepper. The whites will run over and under the bagels which is okay-- just make sure the yolks stay in the holes.
• Cover the skillet and cook until the whites become crispy and the bottoms of the bagels are toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking until the whites are completely set and the yolk is still runny, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, layer each bagel bottom with a slice of tomato, some arugula and 2 slices of bacon. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Top with the bagel tops and cut each sandwich in half.

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.
