This recipe has been a breakfast staple of mine for years, because it’s bonkers how simple it is to execute. Egg, toast, maybe some cheese, and voila. Depending on my location, I’ve heard it called a gold miner, an egg in a basket, egg in the hole or the gashouse special, but to me it has always been an Ace in the Hole. Featured on both the sitcom “Friends” and the 2005 film “V for Vendetta,” this meal is spectacularly tasty and might just become a lifelong friend.
Ingredients:
1 Egg
Butter
Bread
Optional:
Cheese
Hot Sauce
Salt n’ Pepper
Directions
- Butter both sides of your bread, than cut out a hole in the middle with a cup rim.
- Toss that holey slice on a small skillet at medium heat, and crack an egg in the middle. Sprinkle the spices in the egg.
- Wait about 3 minutes for the egg to cook, and flip it. Throw a cheese slice to melt on top, if you feel so inclined.
- When the egg is fully cooked, enjoy. I usually drop some Cholula hot sauce over the finished product, but I won’t tell you how to live your life.
