Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all the ingredients and equipment needed. Make sure the bread and bacon are ready to go, and have the butter, egg, salt, and black pepper on hand.
- Place the 3 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, typically around 4-6 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.
- While the bacon is cooking, use a cookie cutter or a small glass to cut a hole in the center of the slice of white bread. The hole should be large enough to hold the egg but not so big that it leaves the bread structurally weak.
- In the same skillet, add the 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt over medium heat.
- Place the slice of bread into the skillet, ensuring the butter coats both sides of the bread. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bread turns golden brown on the bottom side.
- Crack the egg into the hole in the slice of bread. Sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over the egg.
- Cook until the egg white starts to set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the bread with the egg to cook the other side, allowing the egg to cook to your preferred doneness (usually another 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk; add more time if you prefer a firmer yolk).
- While the egg is cooking, quickly reheat the bacon strips in the skillet or microwave if they have cooled.
- Once the egg and bread are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate.
- Arrange the bacon strips around or on top of the egg-in-the-hole toast.
- Serve the Toad in the Hole immediately while hot, and savor the delicious combination of crispy bacon, buttery toast, and perfectly cooked egg.
Tips:
- Preheat your skillet or frying pan to ensure even cooking of the bacon and bread.
- Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to create a perfect hole in the bread for the egg.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a contrasting texture to the soft egg and bread.
- Make sure to cook the egg to your preferred level of doneness—cover the skillet with a lid if you like a firmer yolk.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, but be mindful that bacon is already salty.
Toad in the hole with bacon is a quick and delicious way to start your day. With just a few ingredients and easy steps, you can create a meal that's both visually appealing and mouthwatering. Enjoy this classic breakfast with a modern twist and savor every bite!
