Kids Can Make: Cheesy Eggs-in-the-Hole with Bacon image

Kids can use their favorite cookie cutter shapes to make this hearty breakfast with a grilled cheese-like twist. For little kids: Let them cut out the bread with cookie cutters. For big kids: Let them crack the eggs into the toast cut-outs, sprinkle with Parmesan and (if they're up to it) flip the slices.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices bacon (about 4 ounces)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Four 1/2-inch-thick slices of bread from a whole-grain boule or pullman loaf
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain; when cool enough to handle, crumble.
  • Add the butter to the hot pan to melt with the rendered bacon fat; set aside.
  • Cut a piece from the center of each slice of bread using a 2 1/2-inch round or other decorative 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter (star, flower, heart). Brush the slices and cutouts with the butter-bacon fat mixture and transfer them to a plate.
  • Toast 2 slices of bread and 2 cutouts in the skillet over medium heat until browned on one side, about 1 minute. Crack an egg into each hole and sprinkle each toast with 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan; cook 2 minutes. Flip the slices and cutouts, season with salt and pepper and cook 2 minutes for a runny yolk or slightly longer for a set egg. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, cutouts, eggs and Parmesan.
  • Transfer each egg-in-the-hole to a plate and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Serve with the toasted cutouts, for dipping in the yolk.

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices thick-cut bacon
4 (3/4"-thick) slices sourdough or other country-style bread
4 large eggs
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 slices cheddar
Hot sauce
Special Equipment
1 1/4"-diameter cookie cutter

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning halfway through, until browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, use cutter to punch out a circle in the center of each piece of bread (save for snacking, now or later).
  • Transfer bacon to a cutting board; cut in half crosswise. Carefully pour half of bacon drippings into a small bowl. Place 2 slices of bread in skillet and cook over medium-high until bottom sides are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Crack an egg into each hole in bread (some of the white may pool on top of the bread). Season eggs with salt and pepper and cook until underside is set, about 2 minutes. Using a thin spatula (a fish spatula works best), carefully turn both pieces of bread to briefly cook second side (this helps set the whites, but the yolk should still be runny), about 1 minute. Add 1 Tbsp. butter to skillet and swirl skillet to distribute, encouraging some to get underneath. Carefully turn bread again. Top one slice with half of the cheese. Remove pan from heat and let sit about 1 minute to soften cheese. Top with half of bacon and some hot sauce. Close up sandwich and transfer to a plate. Repeat process with remaining bacon drippings, bread, eggs, butter, bacon, and cheese and more hot sauce to make another sandwich.
