Cook With Us 22: 5 min recipes - Egg in a Hole & Choc Mint Cake

Time is not always on our side, so often runs away with us, but it's time to eat as those little tummy gremlins are screaming for food and takeout is not always the best option.

Many of us are familiar with Toad in a hole - sausages baked in a batter, but that will certainly take longer than 5 minutes.

Next best thing would be Egg in a Hole.

I used a healthy Honey & Oats bread
Cut a circle with a cookie cutter
Into a pan it went with a dollop of butter in the centre
Egg broken into the centre
Topped with diced Tomatoes, Ham & grated Cheese
Popped under grill to melt the cheese & we're all done in just under 5 minutes.

Oozing with goodness.

Now that breakfast was sorted in a jiffy, teatime was looming and I was dying for a piece of chocolate cake. There was no time to turn the old oven on so how about a Chocolate Mint Cake in a Mug which is thrown together in another jiffy and only takes 2 minutes in the microwave!

Choc Mint Cake in a Mug

4 tablespoons Self Raising Flour
4 tablespoons Castor Sugar
Pinch Salt
2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1 Egg
3 tablespoons Oil
3 tablespoons Milk
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
100 gram Mint Chocolate

Place dry ingredients in your largest coffee mug, stir with fork Add wet ingredients & mix well with fork Place half the choc squares into centre of batter Bake in microwave on high for 2 min Leave to rest for a minutes before loosening sides & turning out Grate remaining choc on top

Note my mug was not big enough, perhaps I should have placed it into 2 regular sized coffee mugs. Choc cake in mug.png

I've made egg in a hole before, but not with all that deliciousness on the other side! 😋

I'll definitely have to try it this way next time.

That egg-in-a-hole looks delicious - and quite colourful! I'd leave out the ham and maybe substitute mushrooms instead. And the cake in a mug! What a great idea.

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful breakfast! I remember making eggs this way, yum! With lots of butter, nothing better plus its quick! Love it @lizelle, simply genius!
@tattoodjay(83)· 2574d
I do love egg in the whole and that cake also looks so good and sounds pretty easy
@katrina-ariel(69)· 2574d
Yay for quick eats! I'm about to make breakfast for my kids... maybe they'd like the egg in a hole. :)
