I grew up eating 'hole in the middle' eggs. But topping it with sour cream and smoked salmon takes it over the top. I left out the capers and onion...just don't care for them. Definitely will make it again. -

Fantastic! What better way to enjoy a leisurely brunch than with this recipe. I loved the runny yolks with the salty salmon. This classic can't be beat. -
I ADORE egg in a hole, or egg in a nest as we used to call it and so I decided to make this very special version for a lazy Saturday brunch today.....it was DIVINE! I loved all of the ingredients as a combination and made it as posted with home-made white bread, fresh free-range eggs from my own hens, some bronze fennel as a garnish and some fine Scottish smoked salmon. We also enjoyed the "holes" that I fried as dippers for the egg and salmon, and Malcolm my husband has requested this recipe again already! Thanks - what a GREAT find. Made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #85 and saved for the future. Karen/FT

One of my favorite breakfast's is Eggs in a Hole, this version takes it over the top. I loved it, every little bit of it... The salmon, capers, creme fraiche, red onion and a grilled - thick slice of Turkish flatbread. It was quick and really easy to make with wonderful results. Kudo's on making it into my Best of Cookbook for 2017. I loved this... Made for CQ4-Scandinavia.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
