Focaccia Egg Toast

A fun twist on egg in a hole toast by using freshly made focaccia bread. 

Toast really got a facelift over the last few years and has been a popular breakfast meal with avocado, meats, eggs, cheeses, and vegetables as toppings. I am all for it as I love bread. I decided to take it up a notch by using my homemade focaccia! Focaccia is one of my favorites to make and eat. So many flavors that work with various dishes.

Now you do not have to make it from scratch, a visit to the bakery will do simply fine. This is easy to make and filling too. Simply pop a hole in a slice of bread with a large round cookie cutter or use a mason jar canning lid. Crack eggs in, season and bake!

Feel free to add additional ingredients/toppings. You can add meats to the egg like cooked chopped ham/bacon, chopped bell pepper, spinach, or various cheeses. Fresh tomato slices go well with some truffle salt too!

Endless possibilities.
