Caprese Egg-in-a-Hole Toast
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through page after page on Pinterest? If so, do you also find yourself with a list of things that you “definitely have to make”, including home improvement projects? That is how I am too. Pinterest has created this strange world of adorable tricks and easy DIY projects that never used to exist. I, for one, am thankful for that. These egg-in-a-hole toasts were definitely inspired by all the crazy breakfast ideas you see on Pinterest.
I chose Caprese flavors for mine, because I had this delicious olive loaf to eat. You can switch things up and make your Southwest inspired or whatever other flavors strike your fancy. With baked eggs, you want to be careful not to over cook them, or else you won’t have the delicious runny yolk.
