Egg-in-the-hole

I had heard of this before but never tried it since I didn't start liking fried eggs till recently. I loved having my egg and toast together. Delicious!

This couldn't be simpler. I love fried bread and I love eggs, so this is a perfect quick cooked breakfast for me.

I find it humorous that this recipe warrants being in a cookbook. It's just so simple, and a classic recipe that's been around forever. Whenever I make these (long before Ree published this recipe) I use a large cookie cutter, after buttering both sides, and I save the center. I always cook the center on the griddle so that we can add homemade jam. My family loves the toasted, buttery centers the best.
