Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Start by placing the bread slices on a flat surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread, making sure to keep the outer ring intact.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the bread slices in the skillet.
Crack an egg into each hole in the bread slices, making sure the yolk is centered. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook for additional 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each egg toast and cover the skillet for about 1 minute until the cheese melts.
Meanwhile, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Transfer the cooked egg toasts to a plate using a spatula. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and toast the bread circles you cut out until golden brown, about 1 minute each side.
Garnish the egg toasts with chopped parsley and serve immediately with the toasted bread circles.
