    Paleo Eggs in a Hole-

    Paleo, grain-free and low carb.

    Paleo Eggs In A Hole, or eggs in a basket, or toad in a hole, or also known as eggs in a frame. This classic egg dish goes by many names.

    Actually, the true" Toad in a Hole" dish is sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding originating from the UK, and my family (Americans) have always called this egg dish "Toad in a Hole".  

    So they have been calling it the wrong name for a long time.

    Basically, it is a fried egg inside a "cut out" in your toast. I made a version that is paleo, grain-free, starch-free, nut-free, and low carb by using my grain-free quick bread in place of regular toast.

    This recipe is actually 0g  net carbs because the fiber content is higher than the carb count. So, this recipe is great for Keto or Atkin's induction.

      Any chance anyone has tried to double or triple this and use a larger pan? We are a growing family of four 🙂 my two year old had fun making bread with me tonight, and liked it so much she asked for more! Can't wait to introduce it to my husband. Great recipe. I'm off to look at more of your recipes!

        Mamie, I think you could double or triple the recipe and use a bigger pan. That is a great idea.

      This looks good but the fiber cannot be higher than the carb count. Every gram of fiber is one gram of carb but you just can't process it that's why you don't count it.
