Henry’s Gashouse Eggs

Also known as Hollywood Eggs, Eggs in a Nest, Knothole Eggs, One-Eyed Jack, and by many other unusual names . . . simple and delicious, they are sure to become a 'Sunday Favorite'

Ingredients (for 1 serving)

• 1 egg
• 1 slice white bread
• 2-3 tablespoons butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

The Method

Butter bread lightly and pan-toast both sides in a fry pan. As the second side starts to brown, use an inverted glass (shot or small juice) to cut a circle in the middle of the slice. Set cutout aside on the fry pan. Melt a small dollop of butter in the hole, crack an egg into the hole, and cook until set, about 2-3 minutes. Lightly flip over if you prefer your eggs over easy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with cutout 'mop' for dipping in the yolk.

Mexican Style: Add salsa and cheese and finish in the oven.

Grilled Cheese Gashouse Eggs: Use two slices of bread, slipping American Cheese between the slices before cutting out the center.

Egg in the basket: Substitute waffle for bread.

Mothers Day Special: Substitute whole wheat bread, Sprinkle finished egg with Parmesan cheese
