4. Tips for Family-Style Sheet Pan Egg-in-a-Hole

For best results, use day-old bread as it holds its shape better when cutting the holes and won’t become too soggy. Make sure your butter is truly softened to room temperature for easy spreading without tearing the bread. If you prefer runnier yolks, reduce baking time to 10-12 minutes and check frequently. For firmer yolks, extend baking time to 15-16 minutes. Save the cut-out bread circles and toast them alongside for dipping into the runny yolks. To prevent sticking, ensure your parchment paper covers the entire baking area where eggs might spread.
