When I was a little girl, my Mom always got her hair done on Saturday mornings at Kay Bargers Salon. Mom often brought me along. Sometimes I would hang out at the beauty shop with her and the ladies. I can still hear the hum of the dryers and the chatter of all the ladies in town. After I thoroughly annoyed them by spinning the beauty shop chairs in circles, Mom paid me off by sending me over to Sathers store for a treat. It was a treat for me and a treat for her (she got rid of my energy for a few minutes).
Some Saturday's instead of the Beauty Shop, I got to go to my friend Krissi's house. That was always so much fun. Our favorite thing to play was Isis. For those you not in the know...Secrets of Isis was the first TV show with a female lead as the super hero. Krissi's Mom, Donna, introduced me to the Hole in One. It wasn't something that my Mom had ever prepared...not really practical meal for a family of 7...but perfect for two hungry superheros calling themselves Isis.
Hole in One
Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- Butter
- Bread
- Butter both sides of a piece of bread
- Cut a round hole in the bread (cookie cutters work great), I grill this little piece too and use it to dip into the yoke
- Warm frying pan
- Put buttered bread in heated frying pan and grill to golden brown and flip bread
- Crack egg into hole in bread
- Cook until set and buttered bread is grilled and golden
- Flip bread again and continue to cook until egg is cooked to desired doneness and bread is golden, grilled.
My mom used to make this. I made it this morning with home made Italian Bread. It wasn't as pretty as yours, but it was delicious! Thanks for the inspiration. I made a pretty yummy quinoa dish yesterday. Today, I'm making w wheat berry dish with WI cranberries for lunch and pizza for after the big game today. Don't you just love Clay Matthews?
ReplyDeleteHi Cathi, it is so good isn't it? Something about that browned butter and the good bread and eggs. Truth be told, I grill the bread on one side and then flip it and add the egg (I will update the recipe), that is how I got it grilled on both sides. I hear ya on the homemade bread...not a shock that is what you would use. When I made mine I used my Lady Di White Bread, kicks it up a notch. Yummy. Sounds like you made some pretty yummy things, I wish I could taste them!
ReplyDeleteDo you use sourdough? I think I would like to try a couple of holes in the bread. It looks yummy! I saw this done on the movie Moonstruck when Olympia Dukasis was cooking breakfast. She used a thick bread (Italian I think). I tried that but it didn't work as well as I wanted. Anyway, I will try this again. Susan
