Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (thick slices, preferably sourdough or country loaf)
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Place the two slices of bread into the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Flip the bread slices and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Remove the bread from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For a firmer yolk, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the eggs on top of the fried bread slices, dividing them evenly.
Sprinkle with optional chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
