- Working with one slice at a time in the skillet over medium heat, lightly brown both sides of each slice of buttered bread, as well as the "holes". - See more at: http://swaggertys.com/Recipes/Breakfast_In_A_Hole/#sthash.HVbKUIUf.dpuf
- As each slice is browned, crack an egg into the hole cut in the center of the bread. Turn heat to med-low.
