Recipe Background

This is one of the most iconic breakfasts in history, and with a cheesy twist to boot! Cheesy Egg-In-A-Hole features the classic sunny-side up egg nestled in the center of a deliciously crispy golden slice of toast. The egg is runny and savory, flavoring the toast with its wonderful creaminess, and the toast has a melty, sharp mayo-parmesan mixture spread across it for a cheesy, salty bite! Serve Cheesy Egg-In-A-Hole with hot sauce and you have a picture-perfect morning!

Ingredients

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
6 slices Texas Toast-style bread
6 large eggs
kosher salt to taste
ground pepper to taste
hot sauce optional, to taste, for serving

Directions

In a small bowl add the mayonnaise and the parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
Cut a 3-inch circle into the center of each slice of bread, using a glass or a cookie cutter.
Separate the cut circles of the bread, reserving them for another use or toast them and serve along with the breakfast.
Spread the mayo-parmesan mixture onto both sides of each of the slices of the bread.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
In batches, add the hollowed mayo-parmesan covered bread slices to the hot skillet and toast on one side until golden-brown on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip the bread slices.
Crack 1 of the eggs into each of the holes of the hollowed bread slices and season the eggs with the salt and the pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and partially cover the pan.
Cook the eggs, until set, about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the toasted bread slices with the eggs to a plate.
Increase the heat to medium and repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices of the bread and the remaining eggs.
Serve warm with the hot sauce.
