Egg-in-a-Hole or Egg Toast is a quick vegetarian breakfast and brunch recipe. This is the perfect vegetarian breakfast for a sunny Sunday morning!
First of all, this egg-in-a-hole recipe was made by COSTIN and not me! There, I said it, Costin! 😀 But, how did this happen? Well, a couple of days ago I was browsing Pinterest for some food inspiration and Costin was standing by my side, working. Suddenly, he sees this egg-in-a-hole recipe and with a sweet voice he tells me “I’ll make this recipe for breakfast tomorrow, BUT…will you tell your readers that I’ve made it?”. “Of course!” I replied enthusiastically.
For your better understanding, usually, as soon as I open my eyes [he always wakes up before me] I hear him whispering in my ear “Mmm… I’d love to eat your delicious scrambled eggs with cheese recipe…wouldn’t you?”. It’s like he’s trying to hypnotize me or something. Anyway, he usually succeeds.
Well, last Sunday I was spoiled. It wasn’t the first time he did such a nice gesture, of course! [I had to say this too or else he won’t stop nagging me :D] He does this from time to time…ehem..RARELY!
This egg-in-a-hole recipe was fantastic! It’s a super simple recipe. Actually, it doesn’t even need any directions, I think it’s easy to figure out how to do it from the photos.

Pisulina just kept on sniffing while I was taking the photos. She didn’t get anything! HA! …I was too hungry! 😀

Have known this recipe for 30+ years! We call it when I jacks, or toad in the hole . Sometime try with a leftover baked potato, making it into twice baked add any ingredients to the warmed up potato in the microwave then make a well in the center and drop an egg in, bake in the oven to preference hardness! Very good
