If you're the type of person that loves an egg in a hole, this hack will change your life. (Or at least every Christmas from now on.) It's the simplest way to get cute and festive for the big holiday breakfast, and it tastes awesome - like a fluffy little omelet encased in buttery toast.

The process for making this might seem pretty simple. And it is ... but it can be a little tricky to execute picture perfectly. After what seemed like twenty failed toast attempts, here's what I learned.

1. Use cookie cutters that are sharp and simple. Intricate details are bad here! The gingerbread and star shape worked well for us, the tree? Not so much.

2. Very carefully pour the egg mixture into the hole. A liquid measuring cup helps! You can only pour a little into each toast; otherwise, the eggs will overflow and you'll lose all definition of your shape.

3. After the toast has flipped, lower the heat to low. And cover the pan! A lower flame ensures that the toast doesn't burn, and covering the pan helps speed up the cook time for the eggs.

4. Don't throw out any ugly toasts. Just because they're not beautiful, doesn't mean they don't taste absolutely amazing.
