Ingredients
- 1 slice sourdough, potato, or wheat bread
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch paprika, optional
Directions
Cut a 2-inch round from the center of the bread, reserving the round. Melt a nut size bit of butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the slice of bread and the round in skillet and toast lightly, about 1 minute. Crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add remaining the rest of the butter as needed to brown and crisp the toast. Flip the egg and round, season with salt and pepper. Cook another 2 minutes for a runny yolk, or slightly longer for a set egg.
Transfer egg-in-the-hole to a plate and sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Serve, and use the toasted round for dipping into the yolk.

I had seen this recipe many years ago,30 to be exact,before I became a mommie, so when my boys were old enough to eat table food I would make this for them on the week ends. However, I had forgotten what they were called so, I told my boys it was " Sunshine in a Window". They enjoyed them very much, they make them for themselves and their friends 28 & 30 years later, I just made myself one,I added a piece of swiss cheese & ham when I flipped it over and heated it just until the cheese was melted and the ham was warmed DELISH! Makes a great light dinner too!

This is probably the only recipe I remember from my high school home economics class. It's very simple to make and very tasty. And it's unique, so it impresses people you cook it for. Just ensure your hole is the right size (not too big and not too small.
