It's Day 3 and my Colon is still operational.(I know. You didn't need to know that.) This one is called "The Castorini", named after the family in the 1987 film "Moonstruck". There's a scene where Rose Castorini is making an "Egg In The Hole" for her daughter Loretta. The Director, Norm Jewison, gets a great shot of the pan as Rose flips the egg filled bread and part of the yolk comes out on the red pepper roasting close by. Brilliant Food Porn.
I used two pieces of white bread.(Didn't have any crusty Italian around) and layered butter on both. Do this before you cut the hole or you'll end up mangling it. I melted some more butter in the pan, placed the "Hole" down and cracked an egg into it. Then placed Provolone, Sweet Capicola, Roasted Red Peppers, more provolone, and the top piece of bread. Make sure the egg is cooked well or it will look like somebody coughed up a lung. After you flip it carefully, don't give it the usual press or the egg will explode. (That's if it hasn't' while you were flipping it, as you see in the picture below.)
This was pretty awesome! The Red Pepper and Capicola gave it some real personality through the rich yolk and melted provolone. Great for Breakfast, Lunch, or 2am after striking out with every girl in the bar. This might be tough if your stoned, especially the flip. You might just end up with a big mess in a bowl. It will probably still hit the spot.

Thanks for the great suggestions so far and keep em' coming. I'm going to start trying those tomorrow...if my Pancreas doesn't collapse.
