Description
Whether you call ’em Egg-in-the-Basket or Egg-in-a-Hole, they’ll always be “Moonstruck” Eggs to me.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices Italian bread, cut thick
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 extra large eggs
- 2 – 4 fried Italian long hot peppers (cayenne or Calabrian chili peppers)
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- In center of your sliced bread, gently cut a hole. Remove the cut pieces and set aside.
- Over medium heat, place a big pat of butter in your pan and add the hot peppers.
- Once the butter is melted, add the bread to the pan and fry the first side.
- When it’s sufficiently golden, flip to the other side.
- Break an egg in the center, and fry until cooked but yolk is soft.
- Top with a couple of hot peppers, a drizzle of oil, rosemary and salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!
