Ingredients

Here is what you will need to serve 1.

  • Olive Oil, For Frying
  • 4 Rashers of Smoked Streaky Bacon
  • 2 Thick Slices of Any Bread of Your Choice (I used Tiger Bread)
  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 Small Egg

Essential Equipment

  • Large Frying Pan with a Lid
  • Circle Cookie Cutter *

*Mine was 6cm but use whatever size cutter fits within the bread you are using.

Instructions

First heat the frying pan over a medium heat then add a splash of oil to the pan. Next, lay in the bacon and fry to your liking, turning once to ensure even cooking.

Remove the bacon from the pan and set to one side to keep warm. Keep the pan over a medium heat.

Using your circle cutter, cut a hole in the middle of one of the slices of bread.

Then spread some mayonnaise on one side of both slices of bread…

While the pan is still over a medium heat, place both slices of bread mayonnaise side down and fry until golden.

Then flip the bread over & crack the egg into the hole. Don’t panic if it leaks a little, you can cut this off later.

Fry for a couple of minutes then pop a lid on until the egg white is cooked but the yolk is still nice and runny.

Finally, remove the bread from the pan – if any egg leaked, you can cut it off now and just pop it inside the sandwich so no one will ever know!

Fill the sandwich with the bacon and lashings of your favourite sauce then top with the Egg In A Hole.

You could change the bread, add some chopped fresh chives or a bit of chilli, even remove the bacon for vegetarians and add some cheese instead. The possibilities are endless!

In an attempt to keep our young children interested in breakfast, my wife created a recipe very similar, calling it "eggy bread." When I kept the kids, and they begged for eggy bread, I had no idea what they were talking about. Mom once again working her magic!
