Egg-in-the-hole goes by many names – “Egg in the basket”, “hen in a
nest”, “one-eyed monster breakfast” ,”toad in the hole” etc.etc. Call it
by any name – the end result makes a beautiful and attractive
presentation. There is this story for how I came by this recipe. I was
newly married and one fine morning after the usual breakfast of idli’s –
u know the typical south Indian breakfast – for many mornings past, my
DH popped the sudden discussion about the importance of Protein and it
is essential (blah blah and more blahs) ! I was like ‘oook,so?”. He
asked me if I could make egg for him in the mornings. I hate eggs and
promptly told him so. He was like ‘its ok’ and left it..but I felt bad
and checked out online for recipes and made him Omelette one morning..he
was v moved at my effort and I was so happy that I kept making him that
recipe ever after!!! – until I got bored!.
So one of those peppy morning, I tried to be creative and came up with this recipe. He loved it. About a month after my ‘invention’ , i was surfing channels and suddenly i saw this channel ( i don’t remember which ) where a woman was making eggs just this way calling it the famous American comfort food! I dint know whether to be happy or sad. Sad because, it sure was not unique and perfectly not my invention [discovery more like it] or happy that I had a TV show creativity :)
This is a v.v.v.v.v simple recipe and that which takes hardly any effort at all. Here goes
