Egg in a Hole

Eggy and Cheesy

Once upon a time, there was a little egg named Eggy. Eggy lived in a big, cozy bread slice with a hole in the middle, known as the "egg-in-a-hole." Eggy loved living in the egg-in-a-hole, but he was always worried about falling out.

One day, as Eggy was enjoying the warmth of his bread home, a mischievous slice of cheese named Cheesy appeared. Cheesy loved to play tricks on the other foods in the kitchen, and he had his eye on Eggy.

"Hey there, Eggy," said Cheesy, "I bet you can't jump out of your egg-in-a-hole!"

Eggy was determined to prove Cheesy wrong. He took a deep breath, and with all his might, he leaped out of the hole... and landed right on top of Cheesy!

Cheesy was surprised, but he wasn't about to give up. He challenged Eggy to a game of hide-and-seek, and the two friends spent the afternoon running around the kitchen, giggling and hiding from each other.

As the sun began to set, Eggy realized he was getting hungry. He knew it was time to go back to his egg-in-a-hole, but he didn't want to leave Cheesy behind. So he invited Cheesy to come along for a ride.

Eggy hopped back into his egg-in-a-hole, and Cheesy climbed on top. Together, they rode around the kitchen, laughing and having the time of their lives.

From that day on, Eggy and Cheesy were the best of friends. They spent every day playing and having fun, and they never forgot the silly adventure that brought them together.

  3. Crack the egg into the hole in the bread slice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny.
