Is it Breakfast or Porn? Either Way it Will Kill You

So while I'm on the egg kick, I might as well tell you about one of my favorite egg dishes - Egg in the Hole.

Yes, it could be the name of a porn movie starring some waitress who got lost in the back of the kitchen, but we're talking food here folks - Get your mind out of the gutter.

This dish is not for people hoping to lose a few pounds. I use over a tablespoon of butter - Enough to put grandpa in the grave. But it's sooo good and it satisfies those mornings where you could care less if Cheerios helps lower your cholesterol.

So here it is... Egg in the Hole, coming soon to DVD and adult book stores near you:

Ingredients:

I egg
I slice of bread, your choice
Lots of butter - Unsalted if you are really trying to watch your blood pressure
Salt and Pepper
A side a fruit so you can look yourself in the mirror

Find some sort of glass or circular object and use it to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice. If you're feeling really dirty, save circle for soaking up extra butter.

Heat about 1 tbs of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. When the butter gets nice and bubbly, put in slice of bread and swirl it around to soak up butter in pan.

Crack egg and drop into hole (cue porn music here). Let the egg cook for a few minutes, and then flip the bread.

Add about a 1/2 tbs of butter to the pan, letting it melt and get soaked into the bread. Make sure you slide the bread over the butter, so the egg doesn't get stuck to the pan. Cook until you think it's done, finish with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with side of fruit if you're feeling guilty, or a side of bacon if you have a death wish.
