Hole In The Wall, With Maple Syrup & Cayenne

Just a little twist to traditional English breakfast!

You gotta try this, it's quick, cheap and really satisfying. . .

Recipe for one:

1 slice of bakery san Juan sourdough bread, middle removed
1 egg
pinch sea salt
pinch cayenne pepper
olive oil
butter
maple syrup

Add a little bit of olive oil and butter to a heavy skillet. Place over medium heat, when the butter is foaming, shake the pan to combine with the oil.

Take the bread and tear out the middle bit, about the size of an egg.  Place the bread in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes.  Now crack an egg right into the middle.  Season well with sea salt and cayenne pepper.  Cook until the egg looks like it's half way cooked, then turn the whole thing using a large steel spatula.  Cook for about 2 more minutes, or until the egg is cooked the way you like it.

Plate onto a warm plate, and add a little more salt and a splash of maple syrup.

Breakfast Hole In The Wall... To celebrate my 101st post today!

I posted this way back when I first started this blog, but I thought I would do it again!  You parents, this meal is good, and good for you, and it only takes 5 minutes to make, and the kids will love it!

First get a pan nice and hot (no non-stick pans please), apply some olive oil and a tablespoon of butter.

Make a hole in a piece of bread using your fingers or scissors, (I really like Bakery San Juan's sour dough for this).  When the butter has melted add the bread, and then crack an egg in the hole.  Season with salt, pepper and cayenne (a bit of cayenne makes this dish so don't skip it).  After cooking it for 2 minutes over medium high heat, flip it and cook another two minutes or less if you want the egg runny!

It's as easy as that!  Out the door in 5 minutes with a good nutritious meal...

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
