Eggs in a (Bagel) Hole

I LOVE eggs! Actually, I take that back... I LOVE egg yolks! Anything I can think of with a runny egg yolk, I will make. Yesterday, my friend came over to make brunch. Because of the beautiful food pictures (from below), I needed a runny egg yolk. I thought of egg in a hole but what better than bread with an already existing hole? Perfect! And it was.

Recipe

Eggs in a (Bagel) Hole

Ingredients
1 bagel
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs
handful of grated cheese (anything that melts well, we used old cheddar)
salt and pepper
paprika
chives, chopped

Directions
- Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat.
- Cut your bagel in half and toast it lightly on both sides in the pan.
- Crack each egg in each bagel hole (flat side facing up).
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Turn on broiler.
- Cover. Let cook for a couple of minutes until the bottom white part looks cooked. The top will still be uncooked.

- Put bagels on a baking sheet and broil for 45 seconds to a minute until the top turns a bit white.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top, covering the bagel and the egg center.
- Broil for another 45 seconds until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with paprika and fresh chives.

(We served it with breakfast potatoes- boiled, chopped, pan-fried with onions, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper)
