Bunny In The Hole Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut a hole in the centre of 4 slices of bread using a 3-1/2 inch egg shaped cookie cutter (a circular cookie cutter will also work); set the inner "hole" aside.
• Butter remaining 4 bread slices and place butter side down on baking sheet.
• Top each with a cheese slice and a piece of bread with a hole in it; break one egg into each hole.
• Top eggs with 2 frozen peas or green pepper for eyes, a red pepper triangle for the nose, and chives for whiskers (this decorating also works after baking, if desired).
• Bake 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the egg is set but slightly runny. Check frequently as the eggs set quickly.
• Remove from oven, cut the bread "hole" in half to use as bunny ears (you may stick these on with a bit of cream cheese or spread cheese, if desired).
• TIP: toast bunny ears during the last 5 minutes that the egg is cooking.

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Drain the grease from the skillet but do not clean. When cool enough to handle, tear the bacon slices in half.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce to taste in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut a hole in the center of each Texas toast slice.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the bacon skillet and add 2 of the Texas toast slices. Toast the bread slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Crack an egg into the hole in each piece of toast and sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the toast with the egg, season the other side and spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Top each with a slice of cheese to slightly melt and cook until the egg is the desired doneness. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter, toast, eggs, mayo mixture and cheese.
• To build the sandwiches, divide the bacon between 2 of the egg-in-a-hole toast pieces, on top of the cheese. Top each with some tomato slices and lettuce, then top with a remaining egg-in-a-hole toast piece. Serve immediately or wrap in foil to keep warm.

Steps:

• Using a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter, cut out center of 1 slice of bread (discard center or save for another use). Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of bread slices. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, lightly toast cutout slice, mayonnaise side down, over medium-low heat. Flip slice; crack an egg into center. Add remaining bread slice mayonnaise side down, to skillet; layer with cheese and bacon. , Cook, covered, until egg white is set, yolk is soft-set and cheese begins to melt. If needed, flip slice with egg to finish cooking. To assemble sandwich, use solid slice as bottom and cutout slice as top.
