Molly Makes Egg-in-a-Hole Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

like what do you call it thank you in the basket of egg in a basket well we wouldn't say you're gonna ask him to say like hanging um red so I chopped the more fun doing oh my god okay say it again talk the more fun talk so we're making a toaster mob onion

bacon

egg and cheese

sandwich

today so it'd be like lamb egg and a w

hole

egg in a basket toad into something or other or whatever it's the piece of toast you cut up the center you fry an egg in it feel like everyone's

dad made that and then cheese

bacon

turn it into a

sandwich

I don't know it's over the top first things first a couple slices of nice crusty sturdy bread you want to cut them about 3/4 of an inch thick if it's too thin then the egg will spill over I'm gonna use a 2-inch biscuit cutter and punch out a circle in the middle of both slices and this

sandwich

features not one but two eggs and we're gonna sizzle up some

bacon

so this recipe

makes

two

sandwich

es I'm going to show

you how to make one but we're gonna fry up all the

bacon

okay flipping never have too much how's my stain looking I have a stain in my apron but we decided to go with it anyway because that's white prints are for wrists FEMA Chris person so we're gonna pull it out and let that cool for just a mom while we fry up the bread there's a lot of

bacon

fat in here and quite frankly it's too much so I'm gonna tip a little bit off and we'll save that for the second round

we're going to fry these two slices of bread just tipping to make sure that gets underneath all of it we have some nice color so now comes the egg drop moment so we drop a w

hole

egg into each of these seasoned with salt and pepper eggs are bubblin that's good we fry one side till it's super crispy golden brown which is what's happening here we'll flip these kiss them and toast them lightly on the other side this way we have crunchy exterior soft interior and a runny yolk we

are moments away from flipping and a little bit nervous I'm not gonna lie it takes a little bit of courage all right and to okay I'm gonna add a little bit of butter in here just for some extra fat and that butter is gonna brown and get nutty and just more flavor as if we needed it we're flipping back notice these are still pretty blonde on the inside that's okay that's our soft part of our

sandwich

and now I'm gonna put a couple slices of

cheddar

cheese right on here and

let that melt take it off the heat okay I'm gonna cut the

bacon

in half so that it's more manageable on the

sandwich

and again this

makes

two so repeat this process one more time if you want I'm gonna hit it with a little bit of hot sauce we now have our fully assembled

sandwich

which is egg in a

hole

cheddar

cheese

bacon

another egg in a

hole

this is a knife and fork kind of a

sandwich

if you hadn't noticed I mean that's perfect hangover food it's a perfect example of

the w

hole

is better than the sum of its parts what Oh oh my god that was such a good pun I didn't realize those punting though the w

hole

the egg in the

hole

is better than the sum of its parts I mean nailed it
