Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice Sprouted grain bread
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut a hole about 2-3 inches in diameter in the center of the sprouted grain bread slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Place the bread slice into the skillet and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
Crack the egg carefully into the hole in the center of the bread. Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper.
Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set but the yolk is still runny. For a firmer yolk, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Carefully flip the bread and egg using a spatula. Cook for another 1 minute for a lightly runny yolk or 2 minutes for a firmer yolk.
Remove the Egg in a Sprouted Nest from the skillet and transfer it to a plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nourishing breakfast!
