We had a slight hicup with our bread machine and the centre of the loaf was somewhat crumby. So my personal wayback machine kicked in and I came up with a breakfast treat I was introduced to in Germany. When I first went over we were part of BAOR, British Army of the Rhine. Accordingly we were exposed to bits of Britrivia. Like survivors breakfast at 4:00 am after a ball. As a single officer I lived in quarters, only steps away from the bar and dining room. We had a key to the kitchen in case us nice young officers got a bit peckish after a long hard evening propping up the bar or playing liars dice. One of our favorites was Egg in a hole.
Start the bacon in a fry pan, cook to taste, remove the bacon,
Leaving the fat in the pan, get a slice of bread and tear a hole in the center, flop the bread in the pan and flip to soak both sides,
Break an egg and drop in the hole and cook til done to taste, Note; fry up the "hole" at the same time.
Enjoy, along with one last beer for the road. It was a good thing that our beds were only a short walk away!
If we were too blind to find the eggs, flopping a slice of bread in the bacon fat and frying up got you "Fried Bread"
