How to Make Egg in a Hole in the Oven (Sheet Pan Recipe)
Learn how to make Egg in a Hole in the Oven with my easy sheet pan recipe! This tasty breakfast is prepped and served in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bread
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Bread: Using a round cookie cutter or a sturdy glass, cut a 2 1/2-inch hole in the center of each bread slice.
- Butter the Bread: Spread butter on both sides of each bread slice and the removed bread circles.
- Arrange & Toast: Place the bread slices and cut-out circles on the baking sheet, leaving space between each slice. Bake for 5 minutes to lightly toast. If a darker golden toast is desired, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Add the Eggs: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the oven back to 400°F. Carefully crack an egg into the center of each bread slice, keeping the yolk intact.
- Season & Bake: Lightly season with salt and pepper. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks remain runny. Keep a close watch in the last few minutes, as eggs will continue cooking after removal.
- Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Use the toasted bread circles for dipping into the egg yolks!
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: This dish is best made fresh, but you can prepare the bread slices and butter them up to a day in advance. Store in an airtight container until ready to bake.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds on high power. Note that the bread will soften, and the eggs will firm up.
Freezing Instructions: This meal is not recommended for freezing, as the texture of the eggs will change upon reheating.
