Yummy In My Tummy: TOAD IN A HOLE!

You may know this concoction better as "pig in a blanket" or "egg in a basket", but round these parts they go by the name Toad In A Hole! This is another family favorite that the Little Brat can get her hands into...she loves to help prepare the bread and she can eat two at a sitting without a crumb left behind! Here is our super short cast of characters....
Toad In A Hole:
PAM (or similar) non-stick cooking spray OR Butter
Bread
Eggs
Cookie Cutter

First things first, set your cookie cutter in the center of the bread and press firmly until it cuts all the way thru...
Next, pull out the piece of bread that was just cut and set aside....the cleaner the cut, the easier it is to remove without tearing your bread!

LOOK! A TOAD in a HOLE! (See where we got that name now?)...

Next, butter the bread and place all parts on a skillet...If you are using PAM instead, it will suffice just to spray the skillet and set the bread on top...let set until a golden brown....it is important to put the bread onto the skillet as soon as possible, to prevent Little Brats from grabbing a quick bite before it's all done! (See red arrow....I wasn't quick enough!)

Once golden brown, flip all bread parts and add the eggs...let set until the bread is golden brown and the egg is cooked mostly thru....then, flip the bread with the egg over to finish up cooking the egg on the other side...it should only take a few seconds....

And WAH-LAH....serve your Toad In A Hole with the 'hole' as an extra....it's a yummy treat!


You can't be too young or too old to enjoy this filling treat...Enjoy!
Happy Trails,
Leah & Little Brat
