Keto Salami and Egg In A Hole
How to Make It
Step 1
Choose pre-sliced salami from either a package or deli-counter that is flexible and thin. Stack two slices of salami on top of each other, then cut the centers out using either a round biscuit cutter, paring knife, or another method. Remove about 2-½” wide circles from the center of the slices. Repeat this process of stacking and cutting until all the salami is used up.
Step 2
Take the circles of salami you removed from the centers, and separate the pieces. Lay them in a pan and cook them at medium or high heat on your stovetop. Flip the salami circles once and transfer them to a clean surface to cool once they’re fried. Next, lay the individual stacks of salami rings in the same pan and cook them on medium heat until they begin to fry. Once the salami rings have fried on one side, leave them in place and reduce your heat to low.
Step 3
Crack an egg into the center of each salami ring, and sprinkle small pinches of salt and pepper over each egg. If some of the egg whites escape outside the salami rings, you can gently reshape them with a spatula. Let the whites fill the salami rings until they cook through to your liking. Serve each salami and egg in-a-hole with two fried salami discs for dipping into your egg yolk. Drizzle ¼ teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil across each serving just before eating.
