A delightful twist on the classic 'hole in the wall' recipe, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to prevent sticking.
Cut a circular hole in the center of the bread slice using a knife or a round cutter.
Save the cut-out piece to toast alongside the bread.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both sides of the bread.
This adds a subtle tangy flavor and helps the bread crisp up.
Place the bread in the skillet and add a small amount of butter in the hole.
The butter will help cook the egg and add richness.
Crack the egg into the hole in the bread.
Be careful not to break the yolk for a visually appealing dish.
Cook until the egg is set and the bread is golden brown on the bottom.
Cover the skillet with a lid to help the egg cook evenly.
Flip the bread and cook the other side until the egg is done to your liking.
Adjust the cooking time based on how runny you like your yolk.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Serve with the toasted bread cut-out for a complete presentation.
