The Kid likes to look through my cookbooks and pick out what he wants to eat. He ran across a picture of Frog in the Hole, not to be confused with Toad in the Hole. I like to cook mine up with a bit of cheese to give it a little more substance.
ingredients:
1 piece of bread
butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon shredded cheese
a dash of milk
salt
pepper
Using a glass or a biscuit cutter, cut a hole in the center of your bread. I like to keep all the bread circles and make cinnamon toast rounds, but that’s a recipe for another day.
Butter the edges of the bread and put it in a pan, buttered side down. Butter the face up side a bit, as well. Turn the pan on to medium heat.
Crack the egg into a bowl. whisk it up with the dash of milk and cheese. Pour into the circle in the bread. Salt and pepper lightly.
Wait a few minutes for the toast to brown and the egg to set, check the underside using a spatula. Then flip the bread over. Careful, there may be spillage, but don’t worry it will still taste great.
Wait for the underside to set, and serve. This is a hearty yet easy breakfast.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
So I wonder why it’s called Frog in a Hole?
My dad used to make these when I was a little girl. Except we called them “one eyed sailors”. Not exactly sure why but I loved the name. I now make these for my kids. But we change the shape up according to the holiday/occasion. For Halloween we use ghost or pumpkin cookie cutters. Christmas a gingerbread man cutter and Valentine’s of course a heart.
Yum. When my kids were little, we used the heart shaped cookie cutter and called these Lovebird Nests. Your work is brilliant! Thanks.
So, where’s a recipe for the hole?????
