And eggs.<\/p>\n<p>I started looking for quick breakfast recipes and stumbled on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.donalskehan.com\/recipes\/hole-in-the-bread-eggs-with-sweet-chilli-sauce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donal Skehan\u2019s site<\/a>.

He also looks like that guy from That 70&#8217;s Show.<\/p>\n<p>I subconsciously embedded one of Donal\u2019s charming videos in my head after watching it so many times. So I was keen to make the easy dish when I woke up this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Keen to make the super easy dish this morning I made the dash to the supermarket only to find out it was closed. D\u2019oh! It was Easter Sunday of afterall.<\/p>\n<p>So on the way home I stopped by at a servo and grabbed some Helga\u2019s mixed grain bread.<\/p>\n<p>The photo above is from my second attempt. I was still hungry after the first try and I wasn\u2019t satisfied with how it turned out\u00a0(the bottom was burnt boo hoo).<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><b>What I learnt<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smearing oil on the bread before pan frying resulted in a more crunchy and hearty toast<\/li>\n<li>After 1 side has golden browned, flip over and pop the egg in the hole right away.\n<ul>\n<li>(On my first attempt I popped in the egg AFTER the 2nd side was golden brown.
