8 slices bacon

4 slices good-quality dense, white bread, such as Tuscan bread

4 to 8 tablespoons butter

4 eggs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Lay the bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Meanwhile, use a 2-inch cookie cutter or small glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread. Heat the butter over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold the bread slices in a single layer (or use 2 pans). Cook the butter until it turns a golden brown color. Add the bread and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Flip the bread with a spatula. Now break an egg into the hole in the center of each bread slice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs have set on the bottom. Then flip and cook 1 more minute. Transfer to plates and serve with the bacon.

Froggy eggs... ;)
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Used to have this ALL the time growing up (and I'm fifty) -- my Mom called it "Eggs in a Nest" and I've made it for my... children and grandchildren with equal success... great ole classic! (And Tyler makes EVERYTHING "ULTIMATE"!)Read more

Good breakfast!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is easy to make and filling, depending on the bread you use. Jazzes up breakfast a bit.

Super!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have seen this made in different ways, but I like Tyler's take on it the best. My mom use to put butter in the pan and it... did sog up the bread a bit and she didn't turn the egg over, but I actually think buttering the bread and turning the egg is so much better and I do thank you, Tyler, for a new little twist on an old favorite!Read more

Very good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was pleased to see this old recipie make it on the Food Network. I remember making this one with my mom when she was... teaching me to cook. It was from a kid's cookbook and they called it "eggs in a picture frame". I am 30 years old and still make it! Simple, easy, and if cooking for kids at breakfast, they love it. I toast the little cutout bread rounds, and that is usually their favorite part.Read more

Toad in a Hole
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this idea...It was simple to make but had a great taste. I added a little cheese to the top and let it melt. Made it... for my kid brother who liked it and wanted another. Fun for kids and adults!Read more
