Ingredients
4largeeggs
4slicesSourdough bread, or Brioche
4tablespoonsmayonnaise
6slicesbacon, smoked, thick-cut
4leavesromaine lettuce
4slicestomato
1pinchsalt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the griddle to 350 degrees. Cook the bacon until crisp and golden. Remove it from the griddle and drain it on a plate lined with paper towels.
Using a round cookie cutter OR the top of a small mason jar, cut the hole for the egg. Place your bread slices on a cutting board and press the cookie cutter in the center of each slice. (Reserve the center circles for another use, like making small PB&J snacks.) You can lightly butter each slice of bread before placing them on the griddle, but I find that cooking the toast and eggs in the drippings from the bacon works the best.
Carefully crack an egg in a small bowl. Pour the egg in the hole in the bread. Repeat this process for each slice of bread, 4 slices in total. Sprinkle each egg with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Using a large spatula, carefully flip each Toad in the Hole and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until you reach the desired doneness.
Assemble your sandwiches by placing one Toad in the Hole on a plate. Spread the mayo over top. Add 2 or 3 slices of bacon, 2 lettuce leaves and 2 slices of fresh tomato. Place another Toad in the Hole on the top. Repeat for the second sandwich. Cut the sandwiches in half and enjoy!
Equipment
1 griddle
Notes
Use a bread that is a bit more sturdy than white bread. Broche, Sourdough and Texas Toast are all good choices for this breakfast sandwich. You want the bread to hold its shape and turn golden brown while the eggs are cooking.
