This quick and easy recipe provides a delightful balance of textures and flavors, ideal for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Sausage links or patties – 2 to 4 pieces (depending on sandwich size)
  • Fresh eggs – 2
  • Thick-cut bread slices – 2 pieces
  • Butter or oil – 1 tablespoon
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Cheese (e.g., sharp cheddar, mozzarella, brie) – 1 to 2 slices
  • Spinach – a handful
  • Tomatoes – sliced, as desired
  • Favorite condiments (e.g., hot sauce, mustard, mayonnaise) – as desired
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, thyme) – a sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage: Cook the sausage links or patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
  2. Make the Toad in the Hole Eggs: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and melt butter or oil. Cut a hole in the center of each bread slice with a round cutter or knife. Place bread on skillet and crack an egg into each hole. Cook until whites are set and yolks remain runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully if you prefer over-easy eggs.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place cooked sausage on one slice of the egg-in-the-hole bread. Add any optional cheese or toppings, then cover with the second bread slice to form a sandwich. Press slightly to meld flavors.
  4. Final Toast and Serve: Return the sandwich to the skillet and toast 1 to 2 minutes on each side to further crisp the bread and melt cheese. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better crispness and to prevent soggy sandwiches.
  • Cook eggs on medium-low heat to ensure whites are fully cooked without overcooking yolks.
  • Grease skillet well to prevent sticking and assist with easy flipping.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook sandwiches with enough space to avoid steaming.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving for best flavor.
