Egg In a Hole Bagel

Hi Everyone, are you looking for a super, simple breakfast or brunch idea?

Try this Egg In a Hole Bagel!

It is often one of my easy, go-to breakfast recipes with only 2 required ingredients (the egg and the bagel:).

I love making it with a runny yolk but you could make it more cooked, depending on your preferences.

This is such a satisfying, yet simple breakfast to enjoy.

If you can get farm-fresh eggs to enjoy with this recipe, all the better!

I use a cookie cutter to cut out the middle of the bagel to allow the egg to sit completely in the center.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 bagel, sliced in half, use a cookie cutter to make the middle of the hold larger to accommodate an egg
• unsalted butter or vegan butter substitute (like Earth Balance)
• Kosher salt, amount to taste
• Fresh ground pepper, amount to taste
• grated cheese of your choice, optional

Kitchen Tools

• cast iron skillet
• spatula
• cookie cutter
• plate, for serving
• chef's knife
• cutting board
