That Additional Info

To make Egg in the Hole: Take a hot greased pan - buttered, or you can use SOME of the leftover grease from making bacon (not all of it for god's sake). Take a small juice glass and cut a circle out of the center of a piece of bread.

Put the bread into the pan. Then crack a single egg into the hole. Let firm up a bit and crisp (like a good grilled cheese), then flip the whole thing over.

The egg fills the hole and fuses with the bread. The whole thing is crisped up, and you can pick it up and nibble on it - no need to use a fork and knife!

Perhaps it could be done with olive oil? Bacon grease is probably a bit heavy.... but that's how Papa likes it, so i figured I'd try it.

And that's the detail I'm SURE you've all been clamoring for.

NO ONE out here in colorado seems to know about the "egg in the hole in the bread".

Dear Jimmy glad to see you've arrived in the civilized world. By the way, I do use olive oil to prepare EIAH. Heres a tip, put a dollop of marmalade on top after you flip it. Yum flamin yum!!!!
