"Egg in the Middle of Toast"1 slice bread*
1 egg
Spray butter
Cooking spray
 |
| 1. Remove middle of toast. I usually make a smaller hole than this, but since this is part of my advent, I chose to go festive! |
 |
| 2. Spray both sides with butter, spray frying pan with cooking spray and put on medium heat. |
 |
| 3. Crack egg into hole. |
 |
| 4. When the egg is cooked enough (you should be able to slide the toast around the pan easily), flip! Cook until other side is done. If the bread isn't toasty, keep flipping, but don't cook it so long that the yolk cooks. |
 |
| 5. "Pop" the yolk and smear over the toast. Since you can't see the gingerbread man anymore (though deep inside we know he's there), I decided to serve his cut out as toast. |

Growing up, "Egg in the Middle of Toast" was a household staple. Some people call it Toad in the Hole and other such things, but my family is pretty pragmatic and says it like it is.
This was a favorite breakfast for us all and I was bound and determined to make it healthy. It's not like it was hard, after all. I just swapped real butter for spray butter and went with a low-calorie bread. Lately, I've been missing home so having this for breakfast really hits the spot in many ways.
