How to Make Egg in the Hole with Bursted Tomatoes

Egg in the hole is one of the easiest recipes you can make. All you need is white bread, a biscuit cutter, and that's it. Of course, I always like to take my recipes over the top a little.

Create burst tomatoes in the oven to top this egg in the hole recipe. Add chopped chives for an elegant touch.

To make this recipe, simply take your biscuit cutter and cut through each piece of bread round. Set the circles aside. You are going to toast these as well.

Now, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a sheet pan covered with parchment paper, place your cherry tomatoes. Toss them with a little olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper.

Cook for about 10-15 minutes until they begin to shrivel and burst just a bit. Remove from the oven and set aside.

While the tomatoes are cooking in the oven, take a skillet and add to it 3 tablespoons of butter. Turn the heat to medium and let the butter melt.

Once the butter is melted, take your bread that has the hole in the center and place in the pan with the butter. I know it sounds like a lot of butter, but trust me on this — you are going to need it.

Be sure to push your bread down a little around the circle so that there is no way your egg can escape. Now, take your egg and crack it into the center of the bread. Be easy so as not to break the yolk.

Now, those cute little circles that you cut out can also be placed in the pan to toast up as well.

Once the white has set completely and the toast has browned, you are going to gently flip it so that you don't break the yolk. If there is not much butter left in the pan, you can add another tablespoon so that the other side of the bread toasts.

Kick Your Egg in the Hole Up a Notch

Once the bread has toasted on both sides and your egg whites have set, remove from the pan and place on a plate. Make sure you do not overcook your egg in the hole. You want the center to still be juicy — because that is what those circle rounds are for!

Then top with those bursted tomatoes and chopped chives. It's a very elegant and easy brunch recipe for Mother's Day. Of course, if you prefer a more basic egg dish, you can check out this post on how to cook the perfect Sunny-Side Up Eggs (and there is a video too!)
