i can’t remember if i have talked about the egg in the hole before. it was a staple at our house growing up. i’m pretty sure my dad started fixing them first. but soon everyone was making an egg in the hole on a fairly regular basis. i know i have kind of worn out the whole egg subject on my blog. i really like eggs. and i really love the amazing farm fresh eggs we get in our basket every month from our csa. (oooh, have you seen whitney’s pepper picture on this month’s csa list??)

anyway, cole has been having a lot of eggs in the holes lately because it’s about the only thing he knows how to make, start to finish, without any help from me. frequently he needs to eat when i am not ready to cook. his metabolism is pretty intense. basically, you just cut a whole in a piece of bread, butter it and crack an egg into it in a hot skillet. today we had them with flair. tomatoes, basil and raspberry jam on the hole, which you also throw in the skillet to toast it. but they are absolutely the very best when made with a thick slice of ciabatta, preferably from boulevard bread company. so good. so good.
