    Egg in a Hole

    This is a popular kids recipe which is called as egg in a basket or egg in a hole. It is also known as toad in a hole. My kids love this one and i make it often for her.

    About Egg in a Hole Recipe

    Egg in the basket, also known by a variety of other names, is a fried egg in a hole in a slice of bread. The dish consists of a slice of bread with an egg in the centre that has been fried in butter or oil. It is typically made by cutting a circular or square hole in the centre of a buttered piece of bread. In a pan with butter, margarine, cooking oil,
    or other fat, the bread is fried.

    An egg is cracked into the hole in the bread at some point. When the egg is added to the bread, it determines how well-done the egg and bread are in the final product. To ensure even cooking, cover the pan and flip the bread halfway through. A slice of bread can also be replaced with a waffle or bagel (with a large enough hole).

    Ingredients for Egg In A Basket 

    Egg 

    Raw eggs have a fairly bland flavour, but those who are more sensitive to them may find them overpowering. Because egg yolks are mostly fats, they have a buttery flavour, are very creamy, and have a smooth mouthfeel.

    Bread Slices

    According to history, the first bread was made in the Middle East, specifically Egypt, around 8000 BC. The first known grinding tool was the quern. Grain was crushed, and bakers created what we now know as chapatis (Indian flatbread).
