Egg in a Hole
This recipe is vegetarian. With optional changes it could also be gluten and dairy-free.
Method
Step 1.Cut a 5-6.5cm hole in the bread. Spray a non-stick frypan with olive oil and heat over a moderately high heat. Add the bread slice and cut round, and the tomatoes. Crack the egg into the hole in the bread, season and cook for 3-4 minutes or until partly set. Flip it over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until cooked as desired. (Alternatively, for sunny-side-up, do not flip egg and toast but cover pan and cook until egg has set.)
Step 2. Combine the ricotta and chives and serve alongside the egg and tomatoes.
Tips: Ricotta may be replaced by the same amount of feta but instead crumble it over the egg to serve, with chives to garnish.
And, for a kick-start try sliced green chilli instead of the chives!
