From WP, good looking variation on basic egg in a hole. Crispy bread fried in olive oil. The original recipe said to crack the egg into a container with a spout and then "gently pour the egg into the hole". Why the hell you would do this instead of just cracking the egg into the hole is beyond me.
Ingredients
1 large egg
One 1/2-inch-thick slice bread, sourdough or rustic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
Fine salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Using a glass or measuring cup, cut out a circle in the middle of the bread, being sure to leave at least a 1/2-inch of bread on all sides.
2. In a medium nonstick skillet, use a wooden spoon to stir together the oil, turmeric, coriander, cayenne and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the bread and its middle, and heat the skillet over medium heat. When the bread starts to sizzle, gently crack the egg into the hole. Cook until the bottom of the bread is crispy, about 2 minutes.
3. Using a spatula, gently flip the bread and continue cooking until the egg white is cooked through but the yolk is still runny, another 2 minutes.
