Cook Your Egg-In-A-Hole Toast In The Oven For A Better Breakfast
BY JULIA HOLLAND
If you cook an egg-in-a-hole toast on a stovetop, you are probably tired of scorching the toast while waiting for the egg to set. To avoid this, cook the dish in the oven.
The oven may take longer than stove-top but will result in perfectly toasted bread and evenly cooked eggs. Plus, you can cook multiple egg-in-a-hole toasts on one baking sheet.
You also won't have to flip the toast because the hot air circulation will toast the top face of the bread, while the hot sheet pan will toast the bottom. So, the eggs cook evenly.
Butter the side of the toast touching the sheet pan, crack an egg in the hole you've stamped out, and place the baking sheet in the oven for eight to 10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
For a firmer yolk, keep the toast in the over for longer. You can also roast or bake veggies, proteins, or any other accompaniments along with the toast for a fancier breakfast.
