Egg in the hole

When I was a kid we used to get this a lot. It was cooked in lard then and worth the calories to be honest, but here is a healthier version. It uses about a teaspoon of vegetable oil for 2 people, so not that bad at all.

Ingredients

2 slices of wholemeal bread - frozen is fine 

2 eggs

1 tsp of vegetable oil

Salt and pepper

Heat the oil in a non stick pan. You don't want it in flames, but if it is too cool the oil just absorbs into the bread straight away and it all gets a bit soggy.
While that is heating up, cut a square out of each slice of bread. The egg is going in there, but the hole just needs to be a bit bigger than the yolk. The white of the egg will spread out over the surface of the bread very nicely.
Put the bread in the pan and let it cook in the oil for about a minute. Pushing it flat if its sticking up. The crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper. Cook like this for about 2 minutes. Then flip it over. Best to use something like a spatula or a fish slice to do this in case the egg leaves the bread while you are flipping it.
Cook for another couple of minutes until the white of the egg is cooked. Served with chutney and some extra toast, this makes a very nice lunch.
