Ben Holt, Milwaukee Grand Ave Club and Eye in the Middle

Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders

Today’s guest on Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders is Ben Holt, Associate Director of The Grand Avenue Club (https://grandavenueclub.org/), a downtown Milwaukee nonprofit that helps adults experiencing mental illness achieve employment, educational, or enrichment goals.

Ben tells us how he makes Eye in the Middle, a simple yet delicious breakfast dish. It involves cooking an egg in the center of a slice of bread, creating a satisfying combination of crispy toast and a perfectly cooked egg.

Toast with an egg cooked in the middle goes by many creative and regional names! Here are some of the most popular ones: • Egg in a Hole • Egg in a Basket • Toad in the Hole • Bird’s Nest • One-Eyed Jack • Sunshine Toast • Moon Over Miami • Gas House Egg • Peek-a-Boo Toast • Pirate’s Eye • Hole-in-One • Bullseye Toast • Moon over Miami

is a simple yet delicious breakfast dish. It involves cooking an egg in the center of a slice of bread, creating a satisfying combination of crispy toast and a perfectly cooked egg.
