Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Bread slice
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 as desired Optional toppings (e.g., chopped parsley, grated cheese, hot sauce)
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter, a small drinking glass, or the rim of a jar to cut a hole (about 2-3 inches in diameter) in the center of your bread slice.
Place a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, spreading it evenly around the pan.
Once the butter is melted and slightly sizzling, place the bread slice and the cut-out circle (optional) into the pan.
Crack the egg directly into the hole in the middle of the bread. Be careful not to break the yolk.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white begins to set. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the egg.
Carefully flip the bread using a spatula, keeping the egg intact. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you want the yolk.
Remove the Bulls Eye and the optional toasted bread circle from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
Top with optional toppings such as chopped parsley, grated cheese, or a splash of hot sauce, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
