WHOLE LOAF TOAD IN THE HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a 2- to 2 1/2-inch round cutter (the size of the cutter will depend on the width of the baguette), cut out 4 to 6 circular wells down the length of the baguette. The wells should be deep enough to hold an egg; don't cut all the way through to the bottom. The number of wells will depend on the length of your baguette. If you do not have a round cutter, cut out circles with a knife. Scoop out the bread filling and brush the insides of the holes with the butter. If you have any butter leftover, brush the outside of the loaf as well.
• Place the baguette on a baking sheet. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and then slide the egg into one of the holes in the baguette. Repeat and fill the remaining holes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the eggs are set and cooked to the desired doneness, about 15 minutes. Garnish with the parsley if using and serve immediately.
