Birmingham eggs

This is a little recipe my mother called hole in the bread eggs

Ingredients

• 2 slices bread
• 2 eggs
• salt
• pepper

Directions

In a cast iron pan large enough to hold the bread

Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter

While the butter is heating, rip a hole in the center of both pieces of bread about the size of an egg yolk. (I lay the bread on a butcher block and punch out the hole with a shot glass)

When the butter is hot place the two pieces of bread into the pan

Allow to cook until brown

Add another tablespoon butter

Turn

Crack the eggs and place them on the bread in a manner in which the yolks are in the holes.

Salt and pepper

Cook until the yolk is set enough not to break when turned

Turn

Cook until done

This should give you a piece of toast with an egg on top The yolk should be soft so when you cut pieces of the toast it can be dipped into the yolk
