Toad in a Hole

George Hirsch January 14, 2026
egg-1.jpg

Here's a fun all-in-one-pan kind of breakfast combo - the egg in the hole, aka egg in a basket, or cowboy breakfast, amongst other names. I enjoyed this growing up during family camping trips, but we called it "toad in a hole," which is quite different than the English dish with the same name of sausage links in Yorkshire pudding. 

All you need here is one slice of good bread + one good *pastured egg. Make a hole in the center of the bread. Add a small amount of butter, olive oil, or a little fat from cooked bacon or breakfast sausage in a pre-heated egg pan. Crack an egg in the center of the hole, cook for one minute, and flip (or turn with a spatula). Cook both sides. Top with fresh herbs such as chives, thyme & parsley. Serve immediately; toad optional!

*Benefit of pastured eggs vs. factory eggs:

1⁄3 less cholesterol + 1⁄4 less saturated fat + 2⁄3 more vitamin A + 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids + 3 times more vitamin E + 7 times more beta carotene + 4 to 6 times more vitamin D

Universal Symbol Of Life

George Hirsch December 27, 2025
George_Hirsch_Deviled_Egg.jpg

The egg itself, like a seed, is a symbol of the potential of life. In ancient times, the egg was a symbol of the universe, creation, and, in some cultures, luck, wealth, and health. 

What's equally as good with high tea, sparkling wine, or frosty beer at a tailgate? I have an egg of an idea - the deviled egg. It's one of those hors d'oeuvre platters that spans the occasion ladder from high brow to low brow, which always empties fast because it is so difficult to have just one.

The name deviled implies hot, but need not be. It is simply hard-boiled eggs chilled and halved, with the yolk whipped into a flavorful filling of a wide variety of flavors such as mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, Dijon mustard, etc. You can even spice it up with a touch of cayenne, hot sauce, or wasabi. Use a touch of fresh herbs like dill, cilantro, or chives; it's a nice touch. Make special occasion up-end garnishes such as chopped prosciutto, crisp chopped pancetta, or with a sliver of smoked salmon, sour cream, and caviar.
