Heart-Shaped Egg in a Hole

Jodi Pudge

This recipe for heart-shaped egg in a hole is perfect for Valentine's Day — or any special day.

Ingredients

  • 4 sliced bread, preferably multi-grain

  • 1 tsp butter

  • 4 slices prosciutto, or thinly sliced ham

  • 4 eggs

  • pinch pepper

  • snipped chives, optional

Instructions

  • Set a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, cut a hole with a large heart-shaped cookie cutter (or a round cutter about 2 1/2-in. wide) in centre of each piece of bread.

  • Melt butter in pan and swirl to coat. Add bread slices to butter in pan. Fold a slice of prosciutto or ham so it fits into the hole of each with some overhang on bread. Immediately crack an egg into the centre of each prosciutto-filled bread slice.

  • Cover and cook until egg whites are cooked but yolk is still runny, 6 to 8 min. Carefully check bottoms of bread slices occasionally and, if browning too quickly, reduce heat. Sprinkle with pepper, then chives. Serve immediately.
