Instructions

Use a round cutter or glass to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the bread slice (and the cut-out round if desired) in the skillet.
Crack the egg into the center hole.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes, or until egg reaches desired doneness.
Season with salt and pepper, and add any optional toppings before serving.

Notes

For runnier yolks, cook less time before flipping.
Use whole grain or sourdough bread for more flavor and texture.
Serve with fruit or greens for a balanced breakfast.
