Egg in a Hole Grilled Cheese Snack Recipe. Super Easy Snack Idea The dish is made up of bread, with a hole cut in a middle, filled with egg and cooked with butter or oil.

It is commonly prepared by cutting a circular or square hole in the center of a piece of bread. The bread, sometimes buttered prior to cooking, is fried in a pan with butter, margarine, cooking oil, or other fat. When browned, the bread is flipped, and the egg is cracked into the hole in the toast. Alternatively, the egg may be dropped into the bread before the bread is browned. The time the egg is cracked in the bread is dependent on desired egg consistency.

The pan is often covered and the bread flipped while on the heat to obtain even cooking. The dish requires a degree of skill and temperature control to prevent burning either the egg or bread while cooking to the desired consistency.

The dish is prepared by actor Guy Kibbee in the 1935 Warner Bros film Mary Jane’s Pa, leading to it sometimes being known as “Guy Kibbee eggs”. It is also called “Betty Grable eggs”, from the actress’ preparation of “gashouse eggs” in the 1941 film Moon Over Miami. It is prepared by both Hugo Weaving and Stephen Fry’s characters in the 2005 film V for Vendetta, the latter referring to it as “eggy in the basket”. Other film appearances include Moonstruck (1987) and The Meddler (2016).

On television, the dish is prepared in a 1996 episode of the sitcom Friends by the character Joey Tribbiani, who refers to it as “eggs with the bread with the hole in the middle, à la me!” In the seventh episode of season two of Lucifer, it is prepared with Hawaiian bread and oyster leaves. Other television appearances include Frasier (1993), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2019), Atypical (2019), and Once Upon A Time (2011).
