Egg_in_a_hole

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slices bacon
  • 6 slices bread, 1/2-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place bacon in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until par-cooked, about for 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, make a hole in the center of each bread slice.
  • Butter one side of the bread slices. Place the bread onto the prepared baking sheet, buttered side down.
  • Add bacon slices and eggs, gently cracking the eggs into each hole and keeping the yolk intact.
  • Use a pastry brush to add a little butter to the edges of the top side of the bread if desired.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place into oven and bake until the egg whites have set, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
